Volcano Run part 2 - The Ride Home
...At crack of dawn we headed out
before a cock or rooster crowed
and soon we found our asphalt path;

That 'greasy spoon' was our last stop,
Where we each tended to ...

A Standoff
...More than a few drops of disdain,
tangled up hair clogging the drain.
Getting heated I cannot abstain
that is my bane, that is my bane.
This one little thing set me off,
the pipes and I in a ...

The Churning
...If the dawn light
we're not being pounded into blindness
by the pelting rain,
if the earth and sky ceased
crashing into each other
churning threads of twilight
into a bitter pulp of cru...

Water kept gushing out of the roots exposing the living truth
the rivers have burst their banks and the animals are running
lose all over the land.
I kept telling myself that this time of the...

Pencil Sharpener

My pencil sharpener (my pencil shavings like to
get high on the
bubble of
air clogging up
the run of liquid in
the pipes) was designed to

The Circle
...A sea shanty to skip to,
an Irish jig hot footing
on clogging stones
heels and knees
chasing swinging hands,
jazz jiving just for fun.
Don't do much
of any of that stuff now,
unless I sleep,

Footloose
...Mind dancing,
missing steps, not much leaping.
Even so, good enough.
Long time backwards
'Brown Sugar' hip jerking stuff,
white bellbottoms flaring like Day lilies.
We were a floor for others...

Peek-A-Boo
...A shy sun
plays peek-a-boo
with clouds
clogging the sky;
and barring its path.
Dyed in shades
of grey;
they gather
like sheep,
clustering
overhead;
grazing on blue skies.
And soon...

PARASITE
...It’s a parasite’s world.
The worm of laziness
Clogging the mind,
Ego refusing change.
It’s a parasite’s world,
Seeping through one’s blood and breath.
