Ayaz Daryl Nielsen- Two Poems

a pen with red ink

an overnight rain

a morning walk

mist and moistness

a pen with red ink

she’s asleep at home, her heart, at rest

redwing blackbirds, mud daubers, prairie dogs,

cottontails, wood ducks, a blue heron,

a light wind and ripples across the lake

grama grass, aspen grove, an old cottonwood

warmth rises from the earthen dyke

yesterday, today and tomorrow

***

67 year old 

bass player in

a pretty good

blues band

nine couples

sweaty from

dancing, a full

glass of single

malt scotch

upon the piano. . 

rowdy drunks at

the bar bellow

“one more, ass-

holes!”  rebel 

yell from a guy

lying on the 

floor, two bras

and a joint

tossed upon a

beer-soaked 

stage. .

more than 

enough for

an encore
