Glen Kappy Poems

I wasn't the only one afraid of Anthony G.
I've comforted myself over time
that at least he was older and bigger than me.
For even boys his senior in the blacktop playground
...

Walking towards the welcome warmth and glare
of an early summer sun—
my shadow stretching long behind me—
...

This man is long-term homeless
like some other ones I've seen.

But his walk—comportment—

I am a leaf
that's drying out
and getting brittle.

from "While Passing Through"/Spring

After last night's winds

In traffic
driving north
to work
...

Last week
wisteria in waves
was flowing
from an overhang—
...

A stately pair—
man and his German Shepherd
keeping a good pace—
...

from 'Dreams and Visions'

The larger view I get
in climbing towards the summit
