Only Today
Before me, it stands proudly,
Not singing nor shouting loudly.
Traveling ahead each tick of the clock,
Etching in time, many colors like chalk.
It only remains for the time given,
There aren’t repeats, moments of forgiving.
For within this passage, we have today,
Are challenges enough for just one day.
Cherish the moments, your life’s song,
For it is in the now that we belong.
Yesterday’s moments are now memories captured,
Tomorrow’s dreams are fragmented and fractured.
No clear vision of what is ahead,
Mysterious imagines, some spiritual it’s said.
But my soul ventures onward into the day,
Knowing that whatever is there it’s okay.
Someone watches over me both day and night,
Who holds me close making everything alright.
‘Tis another day that will open to us again,
And as before, I’ll close my prayer with amen.

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.
