April in Austin

The Old Blue Planet / Blue Roan
Happy Earth Day
Black vs White
From Canada with Love
We Are All Mostly Water
WINDMILL FARMS
WINDMILL FARMS
How many will it take to keep this thing in the air
WE ARE ALL MOSTLY WATER
WE ARE ALL MOSTLY WATER
It rains on the ocean too
and sometimes you cry in the shower
The water don’t care unless you love it
and can see in each drop
the seed of the snowflake resting
PRAYERS
PRAYERS
The frogs out back
are singing in the rain
Not like Gene Kelly
in the actual raining now
More like the brave
in Remington’s painting
standing alone on a hill
skull raised above his head
trying to conjure back the buffalo
Last week it worked for the frogs
BROTHERS
BROTHERS
We clean the pond
the better to see
the multi-colored Koi
The better to meditate upon
their seeming happy life
No evidence of any urge
to grow legs adapt lungs
and join us in the race
OIL SPILL
OIL SPILL
Another oil spill
watching the spreading Rorschach
we see ourselves
