For Issa/Jane Siberry Haiku timothy r gates 9/03/2009

blessings without hues
dirges finding their tune's muse
brush strokes find repose

(i'm stoked, i'm receiving a new CD via this artist for this. just cool for me, that's all. www.myspace.com/issalight )

'other flower' timothy r gates, 9/02/2009

a rose
is a rose,
of course
it's a flower,
too
thorns,
too
foliage, sometimes,
too
when they crawl, spiraling
up, down
a terrace of lattice
opening, closing their
lips
more than amazing.
Then there's you,
the other
flower.

'park bench' timothy r gates, 8/27/2009




across the room

eclipsed by space

time

she sits

he does not resist,

nor she

far and near

as a

park bench

each open their chosen

book to show the

other, finding

the other's words

written, sketched, scribbled

loved.




'veil of sorts' timothy r gates, 9/01/2009




Veil

Hijab

Covering

opening, see me if you

can

catch me if you

dare.

Holy of holies

precipice of darkness

my old friend,

separation of things

uniter of friends

icon

door, see what is

here

window of another eye.

No-thing is

hidden

Every-thing is

revealed.

Behold!
