THE OLD MAN
The old man
dances on gravel,
smoothing it
where flooding
washed out
the driveway.
He doesn't
know anyone
is watching.
His dancing
settles the world
anyway.

THE LAMP
The lamp
within the stone,
like a star's
particles
flying at us,
light
we notice
or don't as
we go on
looking
at the surface
of things.

THE CEDAR / IN THE WINDOW
The cedar
in the window
is somehow
changed
by my seeing
it. I am
somehow
changed
by its being
there. Neither
of us
speak of this
in ordinary
moments.

I WONDER
I wonder
do creatures
of the far
stars have clowns?
Do they know
as we do
that when we
laugh, we laugh
at ourselves?
Do they laugh
at themselves
as we do,
at the far
darkness in
the heart of
our dark hearts?
