honeyed memories
reach twining yellow blossoms
warm from grandma’s porch
honeyed memories
reach twining yellow blossoms
warm from grandma’s porch
hills called me forward
another and another
ever exploring
solo adventure
scrambling well off beaten paths
dusk drew nigh, slyly
each next summit piques
my need to conquer the next
majestic views ‘wait
minutes, well-trodden
morph into worrisome hours
mom never forgets
deafening deluge
drowns out dreary drizzle while
grey gives way to grey
every china shop
quivers when they feel your bull
trampling down the lane
snow squalls, frigid bursts
high velocity vortex
winter’s late hurrah
candle, two ends charred
gutters in midday breeze, nigh
imperceptible
nursing hyetal
hernia, mother nature
bursts through all restraints
hamster, wheel-racing
smoked meth, careens wildly
thought pellets bombard
rogue elephants tap-
dance, trumpeting, ungreeted
in your living room
patience carved a niche
eons gorged sandstone plateau
river flows through time
