Poem of the Week
Bicycle Spokes
Ten sharp bicycle spokes gripped in his hand
a bundle ready to drop into the dartboard of life on the ground
at the northern axis of the planet
polar bears ran to avoid getting struck
One spoke pierced hunger
One spoke pierced fear
One spoke pierced loneliness
Two spoked penetrated invasion of privacy
and destruction
The other five spokes penetrated the ills of war,
disease, deceit, pain, and betrayal.

Poem of the Week
It Is True
It is true
what the mirror says
every morning when you wake up
It is true
what your best friend said about that
old French movie with Olga Valery
shining on siren little noted
perhaps not noted enough
but it is desirable for some people to live
to a ripe old age
so long as your paradise has been created by you
even when knocks on the door go unanswered
not so much as a glimpse of your lover is seen
another time and place no longer static
but fused into eternity by the blood
that once swam over my weary heart
bringing it back to life.

Poem of the Week
Helios and the Doves
Helios standing on the edge of the world
waiting for the queen of the moon Diana to arrive
wears her deerskin dress and quiver of bow and arrows.
The green grass smelled of jasmine as Pan blew on his pipes in Arcadia.
One more maenad left behind from her sisters
danced and laughed through the cypress and pine trees
towering into the sky.
The only birds that flew past her
were doves
graceful and lithe as Helios reached out to
hold them in his golden light.
