Birthdays were such magical moments
The cake was filled with candles
The balloons still in their package twelve on...

I recall the vile pun
 The woeful scream, the solemn bribe
 The nagging prayer, the foreign tongue
 The grave and liquid cry

 She gathered beasts, she beckoned blight
 A splendid bane between her stammers
 And in the panic, an endless night
 Enticing in its glamour

With his back against a wall of steel
caught in a silken, sticky web
the cloak of guilt fits him well
mind racing, eyes darting
excuses are born!
He finds a voice
and stammers--
"It wasn’t 
me"!

The river smells like damp cotton this morning,
the weather has been so complimentary to our exertions
frost invades the nights nicely and soft sunshine comforts our faces in daytime,
we have been averaging 26 miles per day for more than a week
which gives us fat optimism that...

I've been jealous of Time,
sharing it with the foot steps of Days
feeding it to the appetite of Age,

Possessive of unbuyable beauty
that roams reckless within a creation fenceless,
senseless ownership, owning only the yawns of yesterdays,
jealous of glory as it ransacks the wrinkles of haughty heroism
hungering for...

He’s coming to dinner tonight 
The dining table is quite a sight 
Holly and Heather line the table 
Each place set with a gold trimmed label 
A red table cloth covering the wood 
A reaper waiting at each door stood 
Dressed in white, risen from...

Living within this one body 
is a person able to speak 
but also one who is not 
stammering making one so weak 

Many a disability is plain to see 
but this one is not so clear 
be silent and nobody notices 
thinking you're able not...

Sleepy slumber stumbles
Gloomy gazing grumble
Telling touchy tumble


Heaving heartbeat heavy
Trailing topsy-turvy
Limping lowly lousy


Dreamtime drowsy dancing
Inner impulse inching
Bedtime bounty breezing


Loiter little lazy
Bravely blooming bluntly
Corner coming crazy


Somnolence signs siesta
Appealing agenda
Floating funny fiesta


Slipping sliding sleepy
Eyeballs easing easy
Diving distance dreamy


Fleeting floating feeling
Lost last light lingering
Seeking sound slumbering


Snoozing snoring slumber
Siesta swiftly...

She stammers, losing some words that her years cheat
while her sunken eyes gleam, beads in velvet sheet.

She stops gaping blankly as her brain tries journeying back,
to pick out bits from the remnants of history, in flashback.

Struggling against odds and evens she has sustained
visibly made stranger...

Pushed up from stomach's abyssmal pit
Choked off cries, constraint deformed
Packed with panic's punches
Right here where words are formed
Throat cords tightly gripped
Resistance rules my holding back
While mouth stammers mind blown shock
Fear sped thoughts fly blindly
Wild-eyed in disconnected space
Beneath pain's radar, dead-ends faced
Cant find escape through tiny...

Conscious extends out a hand
"Are you alright?" it gently asks subconscious
.
A garbled mutter is heard, and conscious looks on concerned

"I know we haven't seen eye to eye as of recent" he stammers forth, "but you know I'm always here.  I just want to understand....

CHANGE YOUR NAME, CHANGE YOUR LUCK
      There once was a chicken who had no luck
      No matter how she tried she couldn't cluck
         Brunhilde, her name

ls he lame who struggles, 
stutters, stammers to be understood? 
who challenges all-comers 
with a strength beyond his means 
to get ahead, all for the greater good? 
stronger by far than you or I....

I win your heart, your kickass ticking time bomb
I played it fair, no clubs, but love in spades
Feel I'll explode, but outwardly I seem calm
You, diamond queen, with me, jack of all trades

I sail your waves, the surf of your high rash crest
Your cyclone penetrates...
