From my book Footprints Wings Phantasms, available at only $12.00 + postage.
DESERT OF QUESTIONS Who is the desert swimmer? From windows stuck closed By sand and old paint Emanates a cacophony Barely decipherable tones. Who is playing a piano behind a dirty window? Who is playing a guitar’s seventh chord? An interval inevitably appears Silencing noisy confusion. The mysterious enneagram offers answers Symbol of evolution Geometry of time and body types. Surrounding the Earth Mother Math and physics whisper Future sonatas and requiems: Life and fertility Death and resurrection Rites of passage Sterile sands. Dormant date seeds on the edge of an oasis Are surrounded by drought Where all is naught When timelessness is everything In the golden desert of questions.

Reviewed by Ronald Hull

Reviewed on May 6, 2019

You have a unique style that resonates somehow with me. I'm a fond believer that a poem should communicate. So, I'm having some difficulty. And yet, I am beginning, in a few phrases, to understand your meaning. So many unanswered questions in a dried-up life.
