Probability Tips

[Norma photo]

Self absent can't
Be unselfish.
Trail is marked
Where our tails left
Arcs in sand, and
We began an endless
Search for what
We couldn't find
At all, or couldn't
Find all of.
We had to invent love,
It seems--
Self, unselfish.
Memories come true--
Different from wishes--
Oftener than dreams.

This Dance

I leaned down
Nearer your
Heart and
Heard singing.

Cosmos

Has it a name?
Bit of
Universe understood,
Not tamed; also
A flower rooted
In flame might slow
Time, measure
Combustion in a
Slow climb, life,
Fill the woods, thrive
Where each arrives and
All must go
Lonely, silent.
But tame? No.

Church And State

Eglise et l'Etat
Sont souvent trompé
Pour chaque autre
Surtout dans
La lumière pauvre
Sous les orages.

History

Among gardenias,
Jasmine, sunlit
Histories play out
Hummingbird's
Sure use of
The moment.

La lumière de la vie de flexion

[Norma Photo]
Sanest lorsque nous doutons
Tout est tout ce qu'il ya
Lorsque son conteneur,
Contenant tout,
Cherche la forme
De son conteneur.

Transition

[Norma photo]
Tools sound
Proper clanks
As I put them away.
Suddenly I am myself again.
The world is mine.
Where ever shall
I put it?
