Night Out at the Carnival

...

Neon lights twinkle against the velvet, dark skies,
Ferris wheel spins like a huge ring of fireflies;
Shadows sway in the pavement, tents, booths, and crowds, 
As bright bulbs bring glare to c...

My Three Boys

...It gets kind of crazy living with 3 young boys, there’s always a mess and there’s constant noise.
Their mouths constantly running, their little legs too; they rough-house like tiny wrestlers, off th...

For The Nonce

...Dripples When many drops SPLASH in a puddle and mottles the reflection                                   Mappelled When geolocation plots or PINGS you in the wrong direction                          ...

A Pearl

...Circular and square. And a little glimmer
Of peace -
Or agony.

Cool beneath the waters. A small touch
Of green -
Or sunny coral.

Clanking in mine ears - 
But beauty in these eyes -
Throug...

Flemenco

...Bull-black boots
stamping
like beating skin-tight drums
steel capped

with arched hands
clanking castanets
with crimson coronations 
like a goldfinch neck

A guitar's fevered fret

To The North Pole Of Course  (Part Two)  
 
The farmlands, bridges and countrysides woosh by in a rush

...Coming down to this lost pier
Under the bridge of no sighs 
The bollards not used, no boats moor here 
Back and forth on the river they ply
Carrying tourists, and locals as well
To destinations ...

The Carcass Catacomb and the Corpse Canals

...In the dark recessions of the corpse canals, 
Where the breaking of bones sounds the eerie air like the clanking of bells, 
Where the tearing of tendons whistle and hiss, 
Echoing across blood wat...

Cantor Mussagra

...Random noises
some loud some soft
ramdom sounds
the clanking
down the hall
close the door
dim the lights
let cuddle by the window
my transparency
my eagerness
raising interest
in our

Birthday Wishes

...Blessed to watch you grow
And prosper everyday
Getting taller
Getting stronger 
Living longer 

Becoming more independent
A bird flying without its mother's wings
You are a lifetime of goods ...

The Mechanical Nature of Reincarnation

...A hundred years from now
or in the next moment
I will be dead, gone and back.

Not this 'I' with its sticky ego
gumming up the works;
forever tinkering, jury-rigging
a mental machinery
that w...

...When we kill a tree
Does a forest sigh
Rustle with grief that
One of them should die.
Is there apprehension,
Do the trees even hear,
The clinking clanking sound
As the felling gang draws near....

I will be dead, gone and back.
