In Homage to AEsop's Fables

THE DEER AND THE WEEVIL

Where the Deer Strides its girth 

  -  upon the mountainside 

 As weevils poke their heads 

Through barn doors

  -  to satisfy themselves  

  -  lost in who they are;

That they may bear,

Such consuming elegance.

THE LIFE OF DEATH

A burst of joy

A burst of grief

The apple blossom

The curling leaf -

The smile that reaches into my heart

The moments spent in disbelief -

The long dark day,

The long dark night

  - that seems to have no conclusion

  - the rhyme - no nothing

Accept the passing away 

Of all things - reborn...
