William D. Borgen Poems

A thin, white sheet covers my corpse
A nun kisses my toes, one by one,
In a small adobe chapel,
On a high plains desert.
...

I had forgotten
Of the blood and love.

Anger takes into
...

Neutrons cascade
with geometric beauty.
Cause and Effect
Chase after each other's sex.
...

Arms reach across mountains to
seal the fate of lovers.

Teach me,
...

Tides rock the fish to sleep.
Our child dreams in candy colors,
of green, white and red.
Hands cup the sunset.
...

The bow is broken
Arrows are all gone -
This critical moment:
No faint heart cherish.
...

Walking across the frozen lake at dusk,
My tracks meet with other souls
Who have gone before.
...
