"And now I drink a toast to your coffin.
May it be fashioned of lumber obtained from a hundred-year-old cypress tree
whose seed will germinate this year."

Refrain:
And now I drink a toast to your absence of coffin.
May you...

What If There Was No Tomorrow? - The Polar Ice ‘Cap’

- this time it’s burnt and curled upon a new head. The 
sweet smoke of his sugarloaf effigy black as night, 
surrounded by a material red trim, below Parliament houses 
blows political greed into fiery...

Dawn arrived beleaguered
and redrew the peaks 
across a bruised sky that churned
a displeased blue and pewter.

Soon lightening, a brilliant white
with titanium opacity,
crackled with scraunches
and screeches across the horizon.

Rain labored brutishly
against the grueling winds
savaging the already sodden,
soppy, soupy earth.

Multi-dimensional, phantasmagoric,
noctidial nightmare till, conterminally,
the broken sky refashioned...

Schlerotic schlemiel schleps...and says Shalom...

to anonymous readers March 6th, 2021
(blustery and chilly Saturday)
reminiscing about mien kampf,
when precious irretrievable youth
frittered away within
emotional wilderness of mine.

Into lonely senescence -
three plus decades already elapsed
trepidation, hesitation, abdication... unbearably
tugging, shouldering,
remonstrating accumulation
of "baggage" thumb

of right hand thrust out
silently raving, quaking
cursing ultimatum...

A person’s life is all about choices.
Some are regrettable, others just fine.
Yet the one’s we choose rarely suffices
Our needs and refashioned minds.
Take a man with a chance for promotion
He’ll embrace it without further ado
Deciding on a capricious notion
Winds up regretting on Monday’s debut.
The same can...

when everyone has nothing
we will fight for scraps of bread
while the dogs are eating gourmet food
our school kids dine on things long dead

when all of “us” are equal
except the ones on top
we’ll eat the roots and spit the dirt
while “they” consume the crop

when all the...

yellow leaf leaves soon
assurance draft to return...
men yearn to unlace.

all awaits autumn
arrived, invoking slumbers...
hoist fingers to pen.  

like seductive smile
autumn greens adapt reddish...
refashioned the soil.

the birds and ant rush
gathering bread before cold...
nostalgic relived.

giant eruption of
mushroom maturing season~
relishes flavors.

pure ecstasy, this
seasons bestow on mankind...

He ranked as de facto semiprecious,
tremulous and unanimous scapegoat
bullied by a bumptious, callous,
disputatious hippopotamus of a brat
infamous bruiser later in his life to become
forty fifth president of UnIted States.

Though documentation incomplete, the un
named subject referred within torn shred
recovered included signatory couching
ambiguous references to a tenebrous,
unscrupulous,...

Beautifully broken;
I’m tattered but not torn;
Beautifully broken;
I’m not lost in the storm.
Beautifully broken;
I’m put together with shattered dreams.
Beautifully broken;
I’m not what I seem.
Beautifully broken;
My scars out for the world to see.
Beautifully broken;
I’m not what I seem.
Beautifully broken;
My mantra is clear.
Beautifully broken;
I have a renewed purpose...

Love’s Sonnet

Tattered womb, shred by sharp blades of regret,
Weighed down by rough millstones, dark as shame,
Pale dawn stumbles from midnight to forget -
Stinging acids scar through showers of blame.

A whisper of consolation murmurs,
Infused with the incense of compassion, 
A harbinger of enchanted grace demurs 
Spellbound,...

failed “savior” turns addict

s/he wants to “save” you from yourself
to feel like they have a
purpose,
as if they were put on this planet by some greater force,
something that spoke to them & 
said,
“dearest subject, you need to help johnny doe!
yes, you need to help jenny doe!...

Pain and fire; you understand?
No! I do not understand myself!
And what have I done?
O God - what have I -
I don't want the answer but I cannot run
What's broken then? Can circumstance really be faulted?
Or has the apple rotted right down to the core?
Nothing left...
