Simile

what did we do to one another
that now we are as the Gods,
who are in charge of different states
but think in our wise heads
that mine maybe better than yours,
or I shall deminish the other to dominate,
Don't you know that the universe is big
too big to exclude anyone
and it's foolish to think criminal thoughts
while enjoyinh one's freedom of differring voices.
Be proud of your own associations,
Let others fly ahead, behind, above, or below you,
Latent flight can be managed to validate your focus.

Poem for Jan By Joseph Bruchac

seeking the words
     as wings seek the lift of a wind
     the thought of your laughter
     to lift me over the rooftops...

But you drift away
     with the long ago summer

And I stand here, getting older
award as a wading heron
     forever looking back
     over his stooped shoulder.

Ameshalee: For A. S.

Today, I'm dull, dull like a bull,
The lights have gone out of me:
My hunger for words becomes a gull,
Taxing about the gruesome sea.
