Was it tuna?
The world in black and blue,
no visible outline, the colors
blur. Headlights bright red,
and the people covered
in smoke as I stand in the back-
alley surrounded by old graffiti
stains and a half eaten tuna fish
sandwich. The alley cats
devour the carcass leaving
the bones and eyes behind.
I look at the eyes and I see

In a New York City minute
another weekday
she awakens
to the sunrise aroma of
preset coffee brewing
her eyes still closed
she thinks about her day
and slowly starts to form
thoughts in her head
so much to do
so little time
a jolt of java
revs up the engine
give her a minute
she'll come to life
another sip
and there it is
it's all systems go!

Winter Jasmine
Sweetness is a Jasmine January
Seeds its scent along the inkberry
Starflowers streaming a fecund path
I bask in a heavenly perfumed bath
Winter bouquets an Elysian Field sanctuary
Jasmine scents ladies of the night

Autumnal Zephyr
The trees dressed in their carnival clothes
Gold and scarlet of the autumn days
They play about the earthy hues
Of boughs and boles
Proud flag of any sky
I take in the freshly calm air
With that hint of an earthly aroma
The fragrance of homeliness

Nature's aroma
A soothing wind blow,
Leaves follow a shaky show.
Looks brilliant with Sun’s glow,
See,its nature’s go.
Beauty is nature’s momento,
Think deep and not shallow.
Natural aroma is great to follow,
Fly like eagle and keep clouds below.
See the beauty of nature’s meadow,
Sunlight and the cast of shadows.
We have signed the nature’s manifesto,
Either an entrant or a veteran fellow.

Back To School
Early September rain
A dampened sidewalk,
Wet leaves lead me back
To blackboards and chalk
The wood of the desks
Cupboards along the wall,
Fresh, clean and simple
Newly awakens it all
The lessons learned
Countless memories made,
A moment forgotten ...
I'm back in fourth grade
The sharpened pencils
The crayon's shaving,
Add up to the many
Aromas worth saving
Pink erasers, notebooks
A new binder that

In a labyrinth of tangled threads, we struggle, always breathing the aroma of death
In a labyrinth of tangled threads, we struggle, always breathing the aroma of death,
Playing on the edge of our graves like children who do not know the destruction of flames.
The justification for our love of this game
And the endless desire to escape what ends our suffering
Is the greatest enigma.
It has taken all our books, quirky
