Best Spigots Poems

      Just like the lake of melting wax, on a candle gives off light,
      Life is not about championing the selfish, golden  prize!
      Hopefully, I stay thankful with all...

Sanitize your hands before
You open up the door.
Grab a tissue to protect
From germs left there before.

Purell spigots on the walls
Everywhere you turn.
Still, despite these offerings, 
Most people never learn.

Hospitals are breeding grounds
For every type of germ.
Even if you’re visiting,
You may wind up infirm.

Years ago, before...

a walk through the organ pipe 
cactus fields along
a contentious boundary

a place called Mexico on one side, 
a collection of semi-independent States
on the other

Barrels of water with spigots
preaching survival
placed at intervals by
good samaritans

hoards of armed guards
roving in every mechanized
contraption imaginable

illegal immigrant skeletons
are collected frequently,

A cacophony of sounds fills the air.
Bodhrans beat and the jukebox screams.
Flutes and fiddles mingle in a mad race
overpowering, the drone
of drunken revelers in the back room.
Daddy’s darling bounces upon his knee
wreathed in a smile rivaling the brightest sun.
Dinners play their spoons and dash their...

The lonely congregate on filthy stools.
Imbibing from common spigots,
dispensing sour, fermented grain.
The stench of vomit invading the hazy,
impure air is not noticed.

Unkept men slowly poison minds and lives. 
Dirty women, wearing cheap cosmetics,
stare into the bottoms of unwashed mugs.
Desperation and regret fill every pore.
Ugliness pervades...

***

Nobody loved like they did 
those nights splayed
like open books, 

soggy foils at humid peace, 
at least until the next 
morning riot.

***

I ran to the coffee shop 
last street down,
shouting your name 

to a third person, 
wearing your face
under the lamplight,

flickering over like a newsreel...

Sun stikes.
Pinpoints of light
wash summer's lost blossoms
dripping like forgotten
water spigots waning,
drooping, falling,
onto pine-needled carpet.

Ferns cointue greening.
Fairy-wing fronds languish
in the shade, then
tentatively reach
toward sun shadows
warming shallow roots.

Hummingbirds dance;
around the feeder 
their soprano voices
argue territorial rights.

Steam plumes 
from Redwood trunks,
gently rise toward fine laced
treetops offering branch tips
to...

green to yellow 
gold to red 
to brown
leaves 
or fairest hair 
worn 
as silken crown
Thick 
with luxury proud 
honey 
poured aloud
endless spigots 
with 
memories to attend.
Now lost to brush 
or hand 
or wind
all leaves, 
all hair,
and all souls 
in the 
end....

What happened to your pumpkin patch?
Is there a color thief about? 
Did he turn their little spigots on
and drain their color out?

Perhaps the sun forgot to shine
and their hue could not accrue.
I wonder if they’d taste the same
if stirred into a stew.

For me white pumpkins...

They’re trying to tell you
That your superstitions and machinations 
Are an exhausting game of whack-a-mole
They’re trying to tell you 
You’ve assumed a version of them
That society told you existed and you never questioned
They’re trying to tell you 
At every corner a new threat lies
From a...
