The thing I do to be nearer to him,
Commuting even in weather so grim.

Cleaning his home for a much better chance.

The bus I go northbound in drives down memory lane,
As I reminisce about what he and I once...

Just 38 Cents a Day


Throughout history food has been used as a
Weapon of Mass Destruction.  The Romans
would pillage and plunder – then burn the
fields of the defeated, punishing all who
survived.  The Apache are alleged to have
poisoned the water holes when retreating
through the desert...

Bubbles brings joy 

          drumming of autumn rain drops

On either side
Of a crowded family dinner table 
There are signs of ambition and resentment
Success and failure
Marked by those who pass
The plate
And those who only take.

A lighter than air blimp 
Floated 
Lazy circles 
High above a City
Of breadlines desperation
As New York struggled 
Through the Great...

Out past fading smoke

the smell of saddle-leather

lone horse by campfire

by the campfire

cowboys share haunted tales

leaves rustle in moon's shadow

the tapping of boots

on creaking woodfloor

line-dancing

 from the musty log cabin

Cowboys 'return

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent- 38

More the man-made gods the more the quarrel
Who wants to pray in a private night-club
Each faithful thinks his god’s beyond riddle

Where faithfuls gather their gods aren’t idle
Rather would they arm theirs to teeth with club
More the man-made gods the...

A Gemini quest
My bringer of cold droughts
And naughty new breathes.

Damn me please
This is my disease
Look away shy and blind
Pretend a history so kind
That all sin is invisible

But mix your poisons
Drown the signs

It’s all in your mind.

Look over your shoulder
Spin around it’s the same
Rock-n-roll...
