The Death Of Daedalus
Choking up chunks of half-digested sin— will I ever forgive myself? Allow myself to live? My biggest fear is falling like Icarus, and never being able to put my wings back together again. ...

Heels and Hurdles
A round girl, with numbers held high, Said, "This match, it's a sight for the eye!" With smiles and with grace, She'd circle the space, Then tripped on her heels, with a flustered goodbye. ©bfa032125 ...

I bought an eighty-inch TV, just for the box— set it up like a teepee. Jump in like tee-hee! Throw the screen out the window. Let it crash. Now there’s an 80” stuck in my lawn, and people slow down just to whisper, “Wow… this guy’s artsy.” Turns out Mary didn’t even have a lamb. She was just a crack head Life is better made of...

The Pacific Typhoon
The canvas taut, a square of shadowed space, Where sweat and fury leave their brutal trace. Two figures poised beneath the glaring light, A primal dance, a battle in the night. The bell's sharp clang, a signal to engage, A storm of leather, on a furious stage. The jabs like lightning, swift and sharp and clean, A calculated rhythm, a violent scene. The...

the forgotten
The forgotten We forgot to buy a loaf today, but there is an apple tart in the fridge for breakfast tomorrow we will feast on cake and think of the daft woman in France, whose name I have forgotten Putin was offered a 30-day break from warring, and he gracefully thanked Trump for his interest...

Burnt matches, *** butts and yesterday's leave forms a rust brown dike, it bursts and floods tiny pebbles- flowers on the window sills admire the rain on glass. A life spent in a pot fear no weed and see no evil. A black cat decides not to cross the road, a child...

I was in His bosom With no form or comeliness Created from dust Nothing moved me Until dust came to life by His breath The very nature of Him I am created to praise Him That I will always do Let your breath come afresh on me Renew me with your Spirit. (Written 7th January. 2024) ...
