A few new poems by yours truly written at a retreat led by Nevin Comptom Trammell.
The Irregular Heart
The irregular heart
knows not the confines
of chamber walls or rhythms
of the lub-dub doctrine
Look there, in the corner
where pigments swirl
birthing a fifth chamber
an irregular heart
made new
for a new way
a new day
a new doctrine

Litter
A mirror image lies
beneath the soaring boughs
of a white oak tree
it's astounding,
the luxury of it all
as golden hues of fallen
and to be fallen
compete for my gaze
it's reminiscent,
the duplicity of summer
when crepe myrtles
drop their pink petticoats
on the floor
rushing into another season
**********************************************************************************
A Journey in Two Stanzas
on a journey
with words suspended,
between the lines
old thoughts upended
hands moving cautiously
left to right,
voices give wings
words take flight
