In a Picture
Happy and sad in a picture
Division, death and absence
Time stamped but forgotten
Run, backward, run
The moment is passed
They are gone
The feeling persists in us
They still remain

"The Word"
----
The Word
Collect the conscious
Spread the seed of thought
Make the word explode like a lighting bolt into the brain, no way to stop the pain, the train that keeps coming into me, you, who?
Crash
You do not ask why but thank when done, or undone
No lie, truth as is or wish to give.
The word.

"Polarize"
----
Polarize
I am not polarized
I value all their lives
Why to die?
Why to fly?
I do not take sides
Why do you?
Why do we?
I will flee
You may fight
This is not right
Rights may give you might
Run coward now
Into your corner
Turn on your fellow
Shame
I pity you
It moves
Let be the sun
Light will cure

"Grandma's Charms"
----
Grandma's Charms
The charms that once hung lively from her arms sit silently in my calloused palm
Each grandchild sat in frozen, gender-specific profile, name stenciled within
When she died this glittering pride was laid aside and came to me
Now the children of her children may follow her and I feel the dread weight of its possession
Birthed in silver on a bracelet, death waiting for each figure
I will break their long standing embrace to deliver each representation to its rightful place

"Half Light"
----
Half Light
You live in a half light
Gray day glasses every way
Sometimes a life of spite
Your clothes of black and white
You are the sheep
It saddens me to say
You have built these walls
They keep you at bay
What is it that burns?
In the midst the core turns
We wait and we hope
You wait and you tighten the rope
You are not what you seem
No worse, but now no better
The truth has set the theme
We will leave you

"Gone"
----
Gone
Another relative is gone
This last journey not so pleasing
The departure perhaps too long
We feel the suffering easing
Bless the flight to the end
Keep the family strong
There on the blessed pastures
Gathered with those beyond
Drop the shackles of this world
We send you with a song.

"These Songs"
----
These Songs
I don't want these songs to be about you, daughter
They speak of our ways and days, but you should not suffer
So find your heart in the sky and never ask why
Fly, fly, look the world over and settle on your mountain
We will come to you and sing your own songs
Wait for us

"The Snow Started"
----
The Snow Started
The snow started
The pain stopped
The human feeling revived, survived
The turn for the worse
The toss and turn
This was the night lost
The dawn brought thick white flecks against the evergreen mountainside
Through the window to the outside
Natural vision blurred through unnatural chemical selection
I felt the words come again
They broke over my mind and its cold season of suffering
