Last resident's remnant.

Last resident's remnant

Where did you come from?

Lying on your back

legs up

still as death -

a roach.

(c) GMK

When asked - What rejuvenates you?

Rejuvenate Me!

YOU  rejuvenate me -

your jokes and smiles

your  funny faux pas 

I rejuvenate me -

my poems

my drawings

my humor

NATURE rejuvenates me -

her breezes

her clouds

her rainy, misty days,

a purple thistle

in the sidewalk crack

When?

When?

A week ago, I wondered

when you'd show up.

You're late this year

leaving us to wait 

while you linger in other places.

We are having

a lovely time

as things are - 

sinking into a lazy

complacency - actually.

But the thought of all

you'd bring -

your breezy ways,

your color,

the sound of you rustling about 

makes me wonder -

when?

Then, finally, today!

I guess the earth

tilted just enough -

the precise degree

and you arrived

in all your color,

crispness 

and salutations.

A late October -

Autumn

History - a mystery

History - a mystery

Golden boy

King of Egypt

Chariot racer

Youthful, tragic death 

Enclosed in a dazzling sarcophagus  

King Tut

Incestuous 

Brother-sister-parent

Born deformed

Club foot

Wide womanly-hips

buck teeth

King Tut

1st and 2nd editions

1st and 2nd editions

Everyone knows

The first edition

Is a learning run

Expect some errors

And allow for the

Lessons to sink in

Making room for a second edition

(c) GMK

Finding Faults

Looking at errors
One may miss out on what is
Correct and lovely

When I'm Sixty-four

When I'm Sixty-four

I was only thirty-four

 prime-time

I fell, you fell, we fell

UP.

A grand ride

30 years of

the best

the most productive

the most creative

the happiest

now I'm 64

thanks be to the universe

and we're still falling UP.
