Astronaut
No need to move
from the chair
where you can sit
fooling everyone
who forgets that the moon
(along with the blackbirds)
exists only in our heads
all it takes
is a word
and before you know it
you’re setting off
your pockets full of poetry
and apples
The Things We Saw on the Way
a man with a bicycle
pushing it uphill
a hole in a wall and car
upside down in a field
a waterfall turned to icicles
the river below it to ice
the moon behind a tree
that looked like a man
turned to stone
while waving his arms
or was it a man
turned to stone
who looked like a tree?…
