Cement
In youth, we laughed with a stupid friend,
Wandering the streets all night without an end.
Friends are few, time is scarce, now here we are,
Regretting in sorrow, as we ponder so far.
Life, like a sieve, sifts and selects,
Those who are soft clay, do not connect.
In youth, not yet molded like cement

Ugly Cement Gray Howling City Wolves
Ugly cement gray howling city wolves
More dangerous than their county cousins
Tearing families apart with contracts
Filling office workers up with impossible tasks
Tearing heads off colleagues during appointments
Ugly cement gray howling city wolves
Running city blocks to work in tennis shoes
Keeping shiny Florsheim in their desk drawers
a loaded derringer bouncing in their pocket
Incase an indigent asks them for

Bottomless Cement
If I died in a casket,
Will you be my basket?
I’m the bottomless pit
full of so much wit
What if I can fly?
Soaring like a lullaby
I’m this bottomless cement
I weep in mere lament
Like rainfall
I stand tall
Against woe’s wall and all
Hear me as I call
In appall…but on the ball…
I’m afraid of what lies ahead
I’m afraid of what

Cities are wizards clad in robes of cement and thought
Cities are wizards clad in robes of cement and thought,
Constan?a, ancient priestess, wears veils woven from the whirl of time.
Timi?oara, enchanting and magical, sways to rhythms of foam and salt,
Whispers fairy tales to the moon’s ear, on lanes sparkling with secrets.
Bucharest, young sorcerer, with raven feathers hidden under a cloak of mist,
Plays on stone streets

Bricks and Cement
Laying brick by brick, with stickum in between.
A stone on top of another: dream quest and scene,
erected diligently, with a blueprint at the ready.
Each dot and line progression is sure and steady.
Despite storms, hurdles, and limited funding
With slow but steady aims, slanted rashly cunning,
with optimism, sharing in God's dream design.
Adversity shapes us to strive rather

Tight Miniskirt
A fiercely tight as light garment
You won't spare cruel comment;
To put it on a self torment,
To take it off: you shall lament.
Garment's troubles wearers foment
And the needless pains augment,
Sooner on your waist liniment:
A sweet fashion–imposed ailment
"Just,you watch Laura's face,ferment
You'd think she's from dad's interment"
Laura's thigh had yelled in the skirt,
Her helpless pelvis rudely hurt

Cement Trucks
In the end
it was too slow, afflicted
by either age or illness
or simply distracted,
flew head first
into the eye of a headlight.
Flung contorted, neck bent
back, snapped of life,
it died
clumped on a verge.
Rewound to its first flight,
its brief existence traced
untold scribblings
across time and the space
stretched between
these tall trees.
No record remains.
A full stop is placed
here on this muddy shoulder,

Vehement About Dent Caused By Cement
Here is my latest Horn Haiku for you one of a few:
would be a big dent
we were mad and vehement
was caused by cement
all our money spent
down to the very last cent
which we should prevent
wherever we went
message from God had been sent
be sure to repent
when my poem will end
am sure did never offend
to you I shall

A Head For Fifty Bags of Cement
A head goes for a laborer’s pad,
After losses to friends at card;
Whatever reaches him he’ll guard,
As life remains unbearably hard.
A head goes ahead to fix a pad
For fifty bags of cement Andrew had;
For making A Final Good out of The Bad
And seeing to still feeding his lad;
If, in the end, very little shall

Group Nine 280
confussion and frustration
made the task a chore
it favored longety which
at first evaluation
of the work had been ignored
in referance to the group
we were straong and committed
but in labor
we were divided
and uncommitted.
I felt cheap and used
like a man who wished
more attention from his
lover.
I must sort the collected
bunch
to then label and
make inventory
according to fiber strenght
and stone value
monodisperse

Dust
I will not weep when I finally bid you farewell
My eyes will be as dry as the sands of the Sahara
as cement under the blazing summer sun
as brittle brown leaves in autumn
crunching and crumbling under your feet
What purpose would it serve?
Not a single tear I’ve ever shed
has brought back to life
anyone dear to me

Karmic Cement
The sky hounds are tracking me down
in the cul-de-sac of social anxiety drive...
Despite covering my tracks in a hot peppered wind...
sticking the heart into a bowl of burning dice
(to cover the scent of predictability)
they've arrived.to bore their way back into the core
pick the scab off every weakness
exposing every soul blemish,
(that crippling, iron

911
From high a silent body fell,
another...then...another.
Someone's father...someone's
mother...husband...grandpa...
sister...brother.
They fell into the clouds
that day
caught by angels on
their way.
Can our tears be also
caught
to cement love what hate
has
