Looking on and Back

Rolf's Poems and Pictures Posted on April 22, 2023 by Rolf StavigApril 22, 2023

A Void Longing

Rolf's Poems and Pictures Posted on February 25, 2023 by Rolf StavigFebruary 25, 2023

  Damsel of interior light, face of cognizance, lap of straw and honey, my head laid with you- ten cords drawn between our closed eyes and the heart of the sun beating. The warm of the day melting, the era … Continue reading →

Dreams Together

Rolf's Poems and Pictures Posted on February 25, 2023 by Rolf StavigApril 4, 2023

  The crowd of others fuzzing around my mind Like bees of words buzzing, Like the fast lane of traffic Now bumper to bumper eyeing each other Like the supermarket cue, Eyeing each other and what we buy, As a … Continue reading →

What Others Leave

Rolf's Poems and Pictures Posted on February 19, 2023 by Rolf StavigFebruary 19, 2023

Born Horse and Circle

Rolf's Poems and Pictures Posted on February 5, 2023 by Rolf StavigFebruary 11, 2023

  Mountain ranges and slowly sloughed debris, Free of place or just falling as snow once did, Back to earth, back to water, timid As all who never escape time. Her little sister is talking with me about The temple … Continue reading →

Mother’s Smoldering Fire

Rolf's Poems and Pictures Posted on February 5, 2023 by Rolf StavigFebruary 5, 2023

  It’s a literary journey of sleep and ego, The rasp of truth sayers, Ventriloquists in each other’s minds, Messing about with desire and fortune. The wheel unfolds from its rut To a different time and space, A landing where … Continue reading →

English

Rolf's Poems and Pictures Posted on January 22, 2023 by Rolf StavigJanuary 22, 2023

Ships Afloat

Rolf's Poems and Pictures Posted on January 15, 2023 by Rolf StavigJanuary 15, 2023

  You bleed blue for Mary on her bed of roses, Her soft nose snuffing the pallid air of the holy ghost And her post partum purpose for the once uttering Of the ongoing and ever lasting word. The baby … Continue reading →

Towers

Rolf's Poems and Pictures Posted on January 15, 2023 by Rolf StavigJanuary 22, 2023

Junk Fish

Rolf's Poems and Pictures Posted on December 23, 2022 by Rolf StavigDecember 23, 2022

  Spasmodically the gears shift toward green, The refugees huddle around their electricity As genius is wrenched, put to the unusual Circumstance of war. Flash pan of drained oil and the wreckage of pieces Soaked in soapy water. Mind bent … Continue reading →
