gentle presence
passing through
like a falling leaf
like a shaft of light
like a spider's web
soft, effortless
I think
we need more of that

Honoring she who...
she who remembers birthdays
and graduations
she who delivers funny lines
with a serious face
she who listens
to the truth, tales and outright lies
she who carries all the stories
even the hard ones
she who has a tender center
and a resilient cover
she who perseveres
in a ring of fire
she who made a life
out of pure determination
she who writes haiku
and lives outside the lines
ahhh.
"An old pond
A frog jumps in
The sound of water"

Clay
speaking gives way
to forming shapes
allowing the silence
to ignite the
muse within
new territory
beginner's mind
groping, stumbling
unsure

Spirit Lake
inuits and
swimming holes
Berlin after the war
poor people and
civil rights
she wove tales
of courage and ethics
of service and joy
she gave me a burl
from Spirit Lake
before Helen blew
her stack
she called out
have it good..
in memory: Mary Lee N
She who...
colors clashing
acrylic yarn
no itchy wool for her
mix it up
express yourself
shout out
her world
as tight as a drum
voiceless
powerless
knit one purl two
no will ever
ever hear the rage
afghans do speak
Remembering
knees ground in soil
silk scarf wiping tears off stone
echoes of gruffness
longing for connection
waiting my turn

Mothers Day
lonely sleepy nights
bouncing colicky baby
agony at
little league
your kid on the bench
prom dress shopping and hysteria
algebra tutoring with
resulting brain drain
sobbing daughter
on the couch
donating toilet paper
for first apartment
birth of grandchild
mothers day indeed

Now
wishes, dreams
maybes, some days,
in the future, down the road
are trumped by
today, soon,
next, immediately,
currently, now
some sage said:
just do it!
