At home
my aimless mind
writes poemless lines.
Homeless under
trees or sky,
my lines take aim
to fly.

The Devotion of a Child

Bring me yarrow and daisies
gathered among the hay,
graced with stems of clover, 
blessed on a mild Sunday.

Bring me stones from the creekbed
where salamanders run wild
polished smooth and guileless
as the devotion of a child.

Bring me childlike wonders.
Let me receive them with joy.
Make my perceptions pristine
as a scrape kneed, scapegrace boy.
