While having lunch
At a delightful patio
I noticed beside me
A little birdy walking the ground
Searching for handouts.
Unfortunately, I had none to offer.
This bird suggested to me this situation
May be reversed one day.

FINDING A BALANCE
I tried to make a sculpture of you,
Cutting away bit by bit
From the stone
Until you were not there.

FINGER FRIENDS
Finger friends, your shapes inspire me
To write an opera
About how you have made
My life a dot easier.
But I won’t because
You are just
Crumpled up paper
Between my fingers.
