Hymns Of The Birds

One god
must be good
as another -

the hymns
of the birds
never change.

Toe

I stubbed
my toe
on the mountain.

The sky wept
for the stone.

The Troubadour

Play quick when it's early
and feet are fresh.
Play loud when the drink
starts to flow.
Play soft as the candles
are all burning down.
Play a love song when it's time
to go home.
