MINOR CHORD

beyond, beyonder
ridiculous concepts
there exists nothing
but the current moment
even these words
written in a sustained 
note remain absurd
notions for any who 
happen to view them

BAT COVE, MOAB

for Zane  and  David 

Leaves tremble, fronds wave
River flows, clouds pass

Birds call out, lizards scatter
Day bleeds, trees darken

Bats hunt, eyes open
Night sets, we awaken

Moon floats, stars appear
Rain drops, fire licks

Steam hisses, flames reach
Out like hands and taste the evening
