Silence

her body found
no splash was heard
the river
flows

Rachel and her children

her tears have dried
her cries no longer heard
Rachel remains
gone are her children

for our friend Truman and for us

a smile
that never left him
stays with us
now

thinking of mitochondria

Endocytosis --
engulfing
without devouring

September 17, 1862 -- Antietam/Sharpsburg

a sunken lane --
blood flowing in rivulets
staining fields crimson

Mount Carmel

early dawn -- Mount Carmel

pink highlights on fall's foliage

a call to prayer

11 September 1973

Caida

de la Moneda

sangriento amanecer

Past Imperial

pink splotches on a map
markings of empire
and of blood

Isaiah laments

 

 No rush -- it seems
-- to beat swords into plowshares
 nor spears to pruning hooks

 

early morning sun

early morning sun

chin up to the horizon

I stay in bed
