albeit truthful

open your eyes

rising in the morning

is sufficient initial accomplishment.

take it easy

carefully enter  the new day

without undo struggle

welcome events 

complete what is necessary first

naturally choices appear

what to wear, how to prepare

events approach magically

on first light of the sun.

follow through on your commitments

manage your resources

there are always choices

obligations will move you

when long skies open wide 

for puffy caramel colored animal-shaped clouds to roll by,

it’s fine time to mellow and consider 

whatever you want 

 . . . whatever.

under the bunk

this morning

headline says

a guy was released

from prison in Louisiana

after thirty years on death row

new evidence was found

wind whipper

long wind whipper in green
bird holder and ring maker
always standing and patient
every time i come to see you
you are still there, watching
with no eyes
hearing with no ears
one tall finger bent on the wind
