Last night this French guy on T.V.
was going around filming the 9-11
event so someone like myself could
see what it was like to be in a disaster
of that magnitude. I forget his name.
He had a brother in one of the two
towers. Don't know which. He said
he had thought about helping people,
but realized that he didn't know how.
He wasn't a fireman, or a paramedic,
he concluded what he did best was film.
Action....the french cameraman who
ran past dusty bleeders covered in
mounds of disorganized paperwork was
curious why there were no bodies found.
He kept a steady hand on his eye as he
watched others dig through the rubble.
His breathing was increasingly labored
black specks were accumilating on his lense,
black specks of no bodies found.

It is just the way you watch the scene that makes the poem. I like it, Desiree.

The Nature of Luck_________

Let every course run. The come
what may of blood going out to

the delta of finer veins. Estuaries
cry for such pulse, the hard push

things need coming nearer a goal.
For you see, we are lightheaded

about force, flutter eratically. If
we take fresh air, inhalations are

on loan, not meant for fingertips
or toes, it don't always work out.

You can hold O2 yoga deep and
lose. Pumps of all kinds break for

wear much as just sitting idle. Try
anyway. Luck circulates like blood.


D, I really like this.  Some good advice here.  If it were mine I wouldn't hide it.  Set it out front so all can see.  There are so many courses that need running.

Don't Scratch___________

Not every problem is a cause worth
rallying. Still, countless irritations get
a swollen sense of Whoa Nelly. Think
of bug bites, tiny venom filled moles,
how we scratch at them until even
the surrounding skin is bruised. Who
can resist an itch? What else infects?
Life is puss filled, imperfectly oozing
and tender. Is there any calamine for
the delayed project, for the rapidly
approaching deadline? These things
too, protrude angrily, begging more
attention than sleep or bread.  My
mother always said, " Don't scratch."

Family Ties_________

Hard to keep family ties this
day and age. Cities lure the
young with skyscrapers and
malls, and where the masses
congregate, jobs go as well.
My parents lost us to better
work, accepting opportunity
often meant new zip codes.
It was the way of the world.

The Chinese do not believe
in the separation of the clan.
They hold that strength lies
in togetherness. The power
of family comes from sharing
talent, what's held common.
It is no different than how a
nation stays bound. It was in
fact the creed of our states.
United we stand, divided we
fall. May as well 've been finer
print, a footnote we ignored.

My Three_____



Once I had three in pink.

All wishes come true.

Thumbsuckers, knee scrapers,

drippers of glue.



This is what they chased

before their dreams could fly

grasshoppers, lightning bugs,

moths and butterflies.



This is what they picked

before their true loves came

pond lillies, roses,

whatever was lame.



This is what they built

before the future had bricks

towns of pine thatch

penthouses of sticks.



They were a trinity of magic

a triad of glee, the rare alligning

of three planets

from a far off galaxy.



Oh giggle they did

And giggle I do, remembering

how pink things were.

White Pass__________________

Smalled by mamouthness of peaks,
the Yukon caps a thousand heads
could never fill, for by them I have
no sky. I can not block a sun's day
of work from melting glacial pools.
Don't have a mug only goat heels
could shave. Through here I pass
like a stranger who sees his heart
for the first time. How grand this
love, frame resistant, ever abovely.
There is more to see than my eye
can, than both my eyes can, but
further in scope still, a misty mum
withoutness of word. The kind of
calm only a gold miner can ignore.
How to take home even a stone
of this?  What image wouldn't be
like a cell of myself hoping to give
the impression of an entire woman.
