CEMETERY
Ten years after I die I wonder what
you will say as you stand at my grave.
I rather you’d say that now while
I’m standing here in a moment
of time with you – but no that’s
another occasion. That’s another
type of moment. Whatever!
I just hope there is a “Thank you!”
in the mix of your remembering.
I hope I'm still in the bricks of the
places where we walked and in the
waters under the ferry boats as we
crossed the Narrows below Bliss Park.

HUNCH HUNTERS
Poets are hunch hunters.
What are you talking about?
Well, poets are trying to get
glimpses into what’s going on.
What are you talking about?
Well, poets listen. They watch.
They spend their time trying to
figure out motives and meanings -
and sometimes put it into words.
Doesn’t everybody do that?
You got it. You got it.
Well then, am I a poet?
You are. Yet you have to
figure that out for yourself.
Sometimes you have to try
to put it into words and images
that nobody seems to understand -
especially yourself. You can do it.

THE
MOON A-RISING
The moon doesn’t ask. It never does.
She just comes up out of deep black
of the ocean – up into the night sky –
bigger than an 18 wheeler – rolling
down the highway of night. What a
neat blessing to live on the edge of
the Atlantic – and watch this happen
most months. Sometimes it’s cloudy
or rainy and the show is called off
that night – but then the orange moon
nights – make up for the rain outs.
Sometimes I wish you’d get the
message: I wish you’d be like that.
