An old church stands with a spired steeple
Amidst the townspeople at Fox and Main
Where the hypocrites pray for sinful souls
And clergy holds sermons that entertain.
Within this sanctuary lined with pews
And opalescent glass and glittering gold
Odoriferous breaths of morning booze
Betray inebriants among the fold.
The Sunday sermon...

Cradled in her loving arms,
Swaddled in his cotton cloth, 
Still Born.
Her piercing cries split through the air,
Thundering,
Echoing,
Behind those heavy doors, the sterile corridors. 


Deafening silence
He bowed his head in disbelief, 
Father,
Shaking like a leaf,
A lump, 
A sore throat, 
A whipping of the heart.

She took the...

Sterile Isis with Flint Water

Some people said Flint water was purified
And each that time they did lied and lied
Color of brown water looked just like beer
Around it no one ever wanted to be near.

Problems regarding water Flint must face
What they saw was a total serious...

Church From Sin Was Sterile

Father Farrell found cat who had been feral,
Along with church that from sin was sterile;
Rules curve;
Beer serve,
So during sermon priest rolled out a barrel.

James Thesarious Hilarious Horn


Another attempt resulted in anxiety,
And will run throughout our society;
In big wave,
To my grave,
And I...

Statuesque.
Cradiling mortality.
Watching drywall become 
constellations. 
~
Blue bonnet fields
taller than he's ever seen
the wind makes them all dance
~
Sterile conversations 
Latex gloves snapping in unison
Clapping for the waking dreamer
"He's not out of the woods, yet"
~ 
Voices intermingled 
Rushed movements 
Erratic beeps.
"Steady" 
Crimson trickles down his 
chest. The...

The canopy was beaming beneath radiant stars, as whirling
wedding night dances swirled round and round the garden …  
But her husband crippled, his manhood puerile,
Fate untied their sterile knot of desire.  

The world seemed to shrug; she felt herself
scorned.  Passersby avoided her...

Unhappily trapped
In a crumbling relationship...
The love that kept them intact
Through highs and lows
Eroded by doubts.

I remember those moments
So far from me now, the past echoes
Defeated by the silence of my womb,
The deafening silence breaking through
Peaceful moments, gentle breathes,
Serenity, sincerity, soothing… 
The longed for caress – softly stilling
Cries from the remembered yearnings,
The little ones who I never birthed,
The beautiful I...

A polaroid, in
my drawer, under the junk
- a memory found.

Wow, I miss fun, it's
like there was another life
- a past life shared.

Remember parties?
Sweaty dancing then a plunge
in the cold lake?

I feel like an old
lady reliving childhood
in sterile pics.

Everything I thought
my life would be is gone...

scuffs in the pearl white floor 
	when she leaves the room, 
for empty hospital hallway memories, 
	haze of sterile gloom

like snails, the chronic men 
	each slowly wear away, 
their minds left to trail behind them,
	their faces falling into decay

the grey walls with snake green stripes...
