David Howerton Poems

Listen dream reach beyond the end.
Don't settle for little things
drifting along slow moving sewers
of accepted morality.
...

Quiet except crickets
almost drowned by fan.

Gnats diving fifty-watt bulb,
...

Got tired of yelling
chest hurts kind of dizzy
you just rolling eyes.
...

It's old baggage now.
But only a few years ago
you'd have thought
it was what the world
...

Heard them
talking
thinking
I couldn't hear
...

Once you wanted
to be more
then as middle age
crept up
...

Dream tired long afternoons
where silence filters through trees.
Shadows shift with wind
reveal last few blooming poppies
...

Sparkling rainbow streaks
at corner of eyes
the remembering of a thousand
untouched dimensions.
...

Rain, warm large drops
might get 2 inchs today.
Sitting here in car
windows fogged
...

Sitting on metamorphic rock
listening to the American river
while watching flickering sunlight.
Hawks circle on thermals
...
