Rued Awakening

Peacock eyeshadow
     and suits of authority
"Hold our cab, would you."

I sat on the bricks
     covered my eyes, wept and wept
for all that I lost.

Like Coming Home

Three generation
     collapsed dogpile on the grass
laughing and smiling.

Macaroni and Cleese

Starred in a movie
    with John Cleese, a Slip-n-Slide,
macaroni and cheese

In the Valley of Old Acquaintances

I know you, Jean Hill,
    and the one who shines inside,
        one with dancing shoes.

You come down the walk,
    she calls from across the slope,
        they live under cliffs.

Have you traveled from
    other dreams in other beds?
        Did you see my lights?

Birthday Gift from a Thoughtful Friend

Silky white monkey
    smiling like a human child
        blinks with three green eyes.
