but could not breathe in his house
If they’d had a good therapist

BOB MUD IN AUSTIN
BOB MUD IN AUSTIN
(World’s longest mud painting on newsprint)
Bob paints in mud
Brush tickles the earth
She needed a laugh
MOOD DESCENDING A STAIRCASE
MOOD DESCENDING A STAIRCASE
What do I do
If daring to share
I bring you down too
TAURUS TRAVELS
TAURUS TRAVELS
When Taurus travels
Roots are torn from the ground
All The World’s A Stage
All the world’s a stage
And there’s no plays like home
A TREE IN THE FOREST
A TREE IN THE FOREST
(for the grandchildren too)
If you travel
to the far ends of the earth
And do not send her a postcard
were you really there at all
FROM A SADDER TIME
FROM A SADDER TIME
Prairie boy, tumbleweed, rolling forever
and the only rest if he should tire
is against barbed wire
FOR WILLIAM CARLOS
FOR WILLIAM CARLOS
So much hinges
on a red door in the rain
BIRTH OF HAIKU
BIRTH OF HAIKU
Basho oh Basho
frog’s leap kissing water
wakens the prince
AUSTIN AGAIN
AUSTIN AGAIN
Whenever I’m in Austin
I’m in a skin that feels like home
scratch me anywhere you’ll find a poem
