Parades of parades-
Couples and trios
A Sun present,
Sand rises to a projected
   screen in reflected flash-
Smells mixed in sights....

Down they swooped, so keen,
In perfect vee formation
Bronzes, browns, a green
Two blues and, showing elation, 
Lastly, at midpoint, the great golden Queen
Beloved of our tiny nation,
Their plate sized eyes awhirr
As they sought new station.
The sulphur smell
Near knocked us out
Reminiscent of the hell
Of the recent rout.
They...

Takeoff with happiness and leave the hate behind 
Its fall but I hope you don't fall 
Live life make your own call 
Party all in all but don't forget to give god time...

They saw each other,
For the first time.
She saw an angel,
For the first time.

Locked eyes and they smiled,
That few second of stare,
Was a life.

The day when she met him,
Was the day when she,
Went on heaven to swim.

His hands locked so well
In her hands,
As like he was...

Time pulls life by its hand 
and she's gliding along, 
to see, to sense to enjoy, 
proliferates with pride,

Surely, the demons I face
While my eyes are wired shut
Cannot grasp the taste
But can only smell the blood.

I know they’re laughing at me
Some are pulling me forward
Wanting me to come and see
What lies behind closed doors.

My hand pulsating profusely
I place down a sweaty palm
Jiggling the...

If it were possible to love a thing, 
I would love you.

I would hear the click of your pieces moving 
The silence of felt.
Feel the hardness of marble, the soft warmth of wood,
Watch the changing endless patterns.
Smell the patient contentedness as your dance unfolds.

I know...

From this coast to that

Thirty minutes til pickup - leaving home before crack of dawn
A slew of police cars and orange cones blocking the exit
Reading mailboxes with old eyes - not owl eyes
My friend and I exchanging gift bags - her birthday was in August
Thirty more minutes North -...

Randy I swear it just doesn't seem possible that 1 year ago today 
it was one of the most horrible days that had ever happened in our lives
it was the day you passed away and it was much too soon 
but to me it feels...

What shall I tell you about…books piled high, watery eyes, a day burned up, my birthday coming up. Shall I tell you, I have one more year before I’m officially a senior citizen and how the gray and wrinkled look at me and laugh because...

Bell re-rung
lit bag of dung;
no treat, so
a smelly trick

stomping makes
a foot quite slick

serves him right
the cranky old prick --

Horrid Ghosts
shrieking goblins
bloody sacks
creepy maniacs

it's all sick fun
Halloween on a
bun~ icky worms
and spiders -- backyard
pool with a couple
gators -- replacing
guardian angels with
starkly arousing satyrs -- 

a night...
