contin you all

Brewer’s Blackbird


contin you all

water fall explosion
over an edge sends
sprays of river
into empty sky
where individualized
each unique
they are the moment then
they are returned
to the continual

digits

Osprey



digits

toes like fingers are
keyboards to convey music
with fingers like toes

lorded

Old Crow



lorded

black leaf eyes alive
grin across stone face shadowed
by I/eye in control

eye con

Killdeer



eye con

shaped like chaos is
to take the place of empty
water has purpose

musical haiku interlude

Mountain Jay - (Steller's Jay)



musical haiku interlude

like the vendor at the art store
i provide the empty canvas and a frame
and let the artist do the rest

magic rain ripples
vibrational moment trapped
puddle eyes see you

frequency defined
we see where the eyes cannot
into a universe of our own making
though the eyes we use
are merely vibration
defining itself as music
or art on an otherwise empty
canvas of sound

interlude

Squirrel smile.


interlude

nothing now but bones
spiritual ancestor
aged and frail
bends to gather water

then rises
as if conducted
musical imagery opens
awareness from water

from where

Darkeyed Junco


from where

from where do trees bleed
when they feel the sharp bite of saw teeth
eating flesh like wood chips spray
and gravity takes care of what remains
to topple a hundred years to the ground
to be segmented perfectly
into as many thin sticks
as possible
