EARLY MORNING HAPPINESS!

Caught a moon in my poem!
(catch and release)

Darkness shows (christmas)lights
so much brighter!

Solstice cave of days
short as man

Worshiping Light-
Lucifer means "light"

what we left is gone-
separated like "u"and "i"

now i dream childhoods
once i dreaded

mornings egg does not crack
nor break

your silence and consent
allows this

lost between worlds
(reading cover to cover)

forgetfulness
allows me to repeat

she asks me-
"what is this poetic form?"
i reply-"i do not yet know"

speak of cities
dreaming forests/rivers

cold alarms me
snap fresh mornings!

soon,lights of cars
now,one headlight moon

even silent movies
had live soundtracks

cars parked
do not snore

in my old nest job-
new young birds

allergic to change
unless it is loose and silver

price of gold UP
as job market DOWN

protestors burn fires
to celebrate politics

if time has a limit
it is this island moment

if time is money
can i get a refund?

selling timeshares
in my life

renting minutes
by the hour

sleeping through this
waking up on the next line

i am sure of
uncertainty.

before noise-
archaeological silences

Pyramids as Ponzi schemes
only for Pharaohs

meditating upon morning
like rainforests/now they are gone

my boss is Life/Death
i get to choose

i left in a spelling mistake
to check spelcheck

universal surveillance?
for politicians and security agencies

you are so blessed!
(not to have to believe)

all these movies!
my life projects better

behind walls-
early morning snores!
(another poetry reading?
