Don Kingfisher Campbell


You make me wish


You would listen

To my every word

Through headphones


You would hear

My tune humming

Making our breakfast


I know you love music

Possibly more than me

But I am not sure of that


Until you sing to me

The love lyrics song as

If it were written for me


Then I tell you I will

Buy you a keyboard so

You can try composing


Only you say your poems

Already are a melody

Of your whirling heart


And this piece of poesy is

Just part of your albums to

Worship my body and mind



Whirls


1: California Driveway


The unfurling of the calla lily

Like a white dress whirling


When fully open with the day

Orange pistil elicits pollination




2: Minnesota Video


Masked man’s bodycam sees driver:

“That's fine dude. I’m not mad at boy.”


Nearby woman wielding cellphone:

“You want to come at us?”




3: Reflecting Poet


The whirl of wheels

The whirl of a weapon


What makes a mind whirl

What made our minds whirl
