Random Dream
...Raw like apples on a tree.
Waiting on my journal to come to life.
Having too many bumble bees who don’t know much.
I enjoy the crisp bite that shatters.

I AM GREEN

I love the colour of my skin,
Au naturel suave evergreen.
From head to toe, and deep within,

Even the bristles, on my chin,
Tonsured d...

or a golden field of wheat
beneath a hazy summer sky—
but he took her brushes,
left the bristles splayed,
the paints dried out,
and the turpentine cloudy.
And t...

ODE TO THE BALD AND BEAUTIFUL
...He primps that dome like it’s his crown,
A shiny orb, the talk of town.
Shaves that bowling ball twice a day,
No rogue hairs dare to stay.
Refined olive oil, scentless, slick—
His scalp’s own ...

Rain, that bristles on panes, weighty.
Rip-roaring, soaring, not boring,

Angled and claustrophobic dance.

A CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU

Hair brush through my hair, no rush.
The wrinkles will not slow, but time

The bed softly creaks as our eyes speak.
They do not stare as th...

a golden quilt embraced my senses
under the majestic umbrella of pines.
