the woman at the well

By Able | November 20, 2005

the willow whispered its secrets to the rose bush
“it is not that i do not wish to be pure
i like the sky, but i have eaten dirt all
of my life; what will Heaven have of me?”

dip a japanese brush
in blue India ink
from behind your back
you have written you history

for a young man’s turning

By Able | October 27, 2005

i closed my eyes and spit seeds
to find roots in broken soil
but my blindness turned the sun
to shadow my indifference
earthworms have found their way
as angels thunder dimension

this morning was warmed by
a basket of sunrise
we unwrapped the shades
made tea in the shadows
of plants, hands raised

survey

By Able | September 28, 2005

i am done at myself
this “looking in” has
exhausted my existence
i suppose i will be witness
to applauding forests
and thankful stones

obliquity

By Able | September 28, 2005

love whispers dangerously across
my pedestrial mind
until the curtain falls
God exposed as light
light in form of service
service crucified
the following day
i eat before hunger
close my eyes at pain

a finch climbs the sky

By Able | September 28, 2005

covered earth
of sunshine fall
that leaves may sing
and wonder all
