“Red-Tail”
Perched above her range
the queen surveys. I bow to
her magnificence.

Perched above her range
the queen surveys. I bow to
her magnificence.

Peripheral blurs,
Light fades as vision caves in,
Trapped in the blackness.

This great river makes
a better boundary than
a line on the map.

These sweet summer days
A festival of light, warmth-
and I’m here at work.

If red sunrise means
that blood was spilled, would not the
sun always be red?

The oak wavers not;
stable, inexorable,
spreading its root wide.

Rose, magenta, peach –
all ripple and weave on the
early horizon.
Steve D
Caked-on mud bakes,
limbs sun-cast into bricks – my
earthenware armor.
Steve D
Air does not settle.
Always moving, it surrounds
and envelops all.
Steve D
Stitch your clouds across
the sky, a billowing quilt
of heavenly down.
