Sky is Slate

sky is slate

trees like surf

rolling waves

rush in

converge

night’s rising

the earth unfurls

darkness filling

the waning

world.

Day Fades

day fades and

disappears

the restless

west wind

I hear

leaves wave

the moon

draws near

Power

Lu Jianjun, Large Robe, Crocker Museum

folds of gold

power, pyramidal, rising

to frail head, eyes

gazing, unknowing

into the center:

black

and square.

Agnostic Wedding

They say

that my grandparents’ wedding

was the first agnostic wedding

ever.

I just

don’t know

if that’s true.
