Detached
Up, down, up. down
The feather stands and
falls with the
strength of the wind.
As part of a wing,
the feather helped
a body soar.
Detached and alone,
it soars no more.

Detached
I am a poet and photographer who likes sports, jazz and art inspired by other art. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the early 1970's and was assigned to the Computer Sciences School in Quantico, VA. I have published a chapbook of grief poems, I Keep You with Me. My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry. My visual art pieces combine poetry and photographs, and have been most recently displayed at InterUrban ArtHouse, Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center, Buttonwood Art Space, and The Smalter Gallery.

Pieces
Pieces
I have fallen
from the plant,
an entity detached,
no longer part
of that whole.
Yet, I am still
myself--a little faded
but needle sharp.
I lie in dirt
made of bits
worn from the rocks.
We are pieces
put together to
make a new puzzle.
The prompt for this was pieces.
