An Artist's Death
Eyes closed,
what must you be
seeing now, beyond our
seeing? I think that other place
called home.

|
Tienamen Square
Gutters
streaming warm rain.
Blood flowed as easily
one other June: the storms the earth
forgets.

|
Sierra Hawks
Sustained
by the world's breath,
the given sunlit air.
Trust as the hawk, the desert will
provide.

Swimming the Time-Stream
I swim
in pleasant sleep
time's curving, empty way---
it's always there, and always knows
my name.
Your soul,
too, dreamt as mine,
reposed by that river
where mind to mind is drawn to drink
of time.
