A Little Frog
| A little Frog could well be
A beating Frog in camouflage A jumping Frog cold, scary A poisoning Frog breathing through the skin An Underwater Frog flooding… A Drowned heart in love with… The little Frog. (09/01/07)

Food
I have learned
that life goes on,
or doesn’t.
That days are measured out
in tiny increments
as a woman in a kitchen
measures teaspoons
of cinnamon, vanilla,
or half a cup of sugar
into a bowl.
I have learned
that moments are as precious as nutmeg,
and it has occurred to me
that busy interruptions
are like tiny grain moths,
or mice.
They nibble, pee, and poop,
or make their little worms and webs
until you have to throw out the good stuff
with the bad.
It took two deaths
and coming close myself
for me to learn
that there is not an infinite supply
of good things in the pantry.

Butter
Butter, like love,
seems common enough
yet has so many imitators.
I held a brick of it, heavy and cool,
and glimpsed what seemed like skin
beneath a corner of its wrap;
the décolletage revealed
a most attractive fat!
And most refined.
Not milk, not cream,
not even crème de la crème.
It was a delicacy which assured me
that bliss follows agitation,
that even pasture daisies
through the alchemy of four stomachs
may grace a king’s table.
We have a yellow bowl near the toaster
where summer’s butter grows
soft and sentimental.
We love it better for its weeping,
its nostalgia for buckets and churns
and deep stone wells,
for the press of a wooden butter mold
shaped like a swollen heart.

THE FOG IN LIFE!
Foggy mist, misty fog
Marvellous manifestation
Of magnificent nature!
Weary winter
Heralds
The splenderous spring!
The fog
Strong enough to blind
Quite weak to stand
The stare of raising Sun!
The fog in life, problems in life
Strong enough to blind
Cannot stand
The stare of sparkling mind!
Fog deprives
Physical vision
Foggy mind denies
Mental mission!

FOG
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

A little Flower
| A flower grew out of the ground A tiny flower from the dirt A tiny living soul from underground A baby crawling from the dirt A little innocence of wild color A tiny spark of hope A tiny pleasure free of charge A flower that i called my own A little baby ran towards it A tiny flower crushed beneath the feet A little human innocence A little bliss destroyed by ignorance A little flower dead on the ground A little baby jumping up and down And only me from my own window, witnessed the death of my own flower beneath the feet of blissful child without idea of his first crime…

The Flower
Once in a golden hour
I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
The people said, a weed.
To and fro they went
Thro’ my garden bower,
And muttering discontent
Cursed me and my flower.
Then it grew so tall
It wore a crown of light,
But thieves from o’er the wall
Stole the seed by night.
Sow’d it far and wide
By every town and tower,
Till all the people cried,
“Splendid is the flower!”
Read my little fable:
He that runs may read.
Most can raise the flowers now,
For all have got the seed.
And some are pretty enough,
And some are poor indeed;
And now again the people
Call it but a weed.
