RONALD BAATZ ~











Winter grass

finds its

own style








After many years

I bump into an old lover

and we look at one another with

the shock of two shrunken heads

in hell









All night long

over and over

the owl asks who

left the oars

in the boat








Putting a

bowl of water

by the river

to allow stillness

to have a say








So extreme —

this hill of

bug bite










A young man

watching blossoms falling

is an old man when

 they reach

the ground









Broken cup

still capable

of holding rain










A dragonfly

more beautiful

than Europe










Crows —

always just

back from a funeral
