Grateful For Each Breath9/22/2023
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...

Hospital HygieneSanitize 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...

Pondering a Desert, a Proposed Wall and Skeletons, Not a Poema 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,

Remembrances of An Irish PubA 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 Darkened BarThe 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...

Wild Eye Wise***
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...

Au NaturalSun 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...

Endingsgreen 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....

No ThanksWhat 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 YouThey’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...
