I watch the midday brightness #wane as a cloud drifts across the sun, and the dimming feels like a hand brushing my cheek.

Solitude becomes a darkening cathedral where shadows glide,
#wane and vanish; leaving a
stillness - a time and place for
memory and feeling.

I found an old harmonica in a drawer beside a postcard from nowhere.

The reeds were tired; the notes would #wane mid-breath. Still, it played enough feeling to fool the night into listening.

The stars didn’t clap, but I think they nodded in their small, twinkly way.

My 3 year old son, on the #cusp of boyhood, waited with me at the checkout of a supermarket.

When our turn came, I plopped down a candy bar. The cashier looked at my son and asked, “Is that yours?”

He replied, “Yes, I did poo poo for that!” and was further rewarded with loud applause.

My crazy old grandfather once told me that life’s sweetest moments happen on the #cusp - just before you name the tune or turn the handle or kiss the girl.

We were fishing then, and when I felt a tug on my pole, I understood what he meant.

Amid #cusps of sky and sea,
sea and shore, blue and white,
age and death - two friends sit
and wait.

#Ruse runs naked before me,
giggling, tossing her sparkling
hair, enticing me with promises.

I chase her with questions:
why? how? But she only smiles.

I forget what i was asking and
blindly, happily follow her.

It is said that a false prophet
told two truths and one #ruse,
and that the people, desperate
to believe, built their faith on the
false one.

In time, their prayers grew strong enough to make it gospel.

The prophet died forgotten,
though his lie lived gently among them.

moonlight is a #ruse -

I met a mime who spoke in colors -
indigo sorrow, red delight.

I asked where he learned that trick.

He gestured toward the moon, grinned and said,

“Language is life‘s greatest
#ruse.

With it, you can imagine a mime
who speaks in colors.”

I keep a tiny #slip of blue (sky?)
folded behind my right ear

Get out on the dance floor!

Let your backbone #slip!

Try not to fall and

break your hip!

It’s “Monkey Time!”

Grandpa swore that the universe began when some god-like being slipped on a cosmic banana peel in the darkness and thought, “Well, that’s one way to fall into existence.”

Just then, the stars above grandpa’s porch light flickered and I wondered if someone #slipped again.

dusk, and outside my window,
#drizzle gathers on autumn leaves -

tiny beads sparkling before they fall, each one catching a bit of the fading light
