- A Hobson's Choice
A Hobson's Choice

Sitting on a porch,
- Adages of Cleansing
Adages of cleansing, the wet cloth.
Ratio for a piece, the hand dry.
The one plays, the one sings,
into and out of the clean hands.
Even the heart is lenient here.
Adages of writing,
the one pens, the one plays.
Ratio for a piece,
- Red Seas
Red seas come but once,
red eyes all too few.
They lie like they become.
She used to say,
"look away, look away,"
but now the words have changed.
I miss you when you're gone.
Seven times the loss.
