AMAZE

Michael McClintock
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.
