SOLSTICE

Recall a kiss,
A snowdrop in time,
An ill-fated finish.
Who's last supper was it?
Who's wedding?
Who's first date?

Snowdrops, raindrops, teardrops, dewdrops,
Eternal moments in time
Bounding loves, binding lives,
Cutting ties like serrated knives.
A cold kiss.
Who's casket?

Kisses, caskets, weddings, tears
Time in a snowdrop
Kissing Stonehenge.

An earlier version of Solstice appeared in Inspired By: A Collection of Thoughts, 2000

         Moral Evolution

Monkey shine, monkey shine
How do you do
Raising Cain on a vine
How evolved are you?

Business man, business man
Who do you do
Stashing cash in a van
Is evolution through?

Preacher's wife, preacher's wife
Holy howdy do
Slashing at sinner's strife
Could Cain evolve from you?

Bitter bum, sordid scum
Abel's fate to you
Begging for just a crumb
Who created you?

From ~ French Dressing: An
Autobiographical Blend of Poetry And Prose,
2001
