The only thing wrong with 
this photograph is that 
it should say tea instead of
coffee, because I drink 
many more cups of the 
leaves rather than the beans.

At King's Cross Station,
the Brits make a small 
fortune taking tourists' 
photos with a Gryffindor's scarf,
faking the shove of a trolley 
through a real brick wall.

I remember happier days, 
two girls, 
full of smiles,
without a care in the world,
friends since 
elementary school,
both quietly observing
the world,
dreams of the future 
in their heads,
looking forward to 
their adult lives with joy.

Chief Brokenrope made this for me,
and today, he died,
gone to join the Six Grandfathers
And Grandmothers,
becoming a part of the eternal
sacred hoop of his people.
May your journey be happy,
riding on the wind, 
wooping it up, "Hoka hey,
It is a good day to die."

Rocks, moss and water
create a peaceful flow
on the banks of the Danube,
a quiet spot to rest 
as one climbs to the Citadel.

Cemeteries in Athens
are sacred places,
filled with white 
marble memorials;
each pathway a bed 
of stone, pristine; it is 
where families gather
to sweetly tend 
the resting places 
of their beloveds.
A custom many Americans 
have sadly forgotten.

I have seen Lady Liberty many times
and I never cease to be amazed at 
how many people board the Stanton Island Ferry
just for a free and quick pass by,
as if to wave, and say,
"I've seen the statue of Liberty."
