Clothesline of Joy
At the end of another summer day Rainbow of deflated asses crotches and breasts strung along our deck railing Flail like a Tibetan prayer flag Under the smoky umbrella of burgers and brats Grilling for dinner Souls adrift from their left behind soaked skin The sleeves and pantlegs re-begin Arms and legs jog in place In the cool lungs of a dry evening...

The Clothesline
The one who has been cleansed and purified Is like a washed dress now sans grime and dirt; Yet it has been stained once again inside, As the smudge of wrong shows no joy and mirth; Because the cord used is not firmly tied, The garment falls down on this dusty earth. The strong and steadfast man will overcome The world’s enticement...

Clothesline
The house where I grew up Came with a clothesline in the back, A dryer being something that Most homes those days did lack. I learned to hang the towels, Overlapping just a bit, Since by doing so, more laundry On the line would get to fit. I visualize my mom, With wooden clothespins firmly gripped In her mouth, despite the fact With clothespin bag she...

Polite ghosts pinned on a clothesline, Dancing daintily in the breeze. Using please and thank you Practicing manners with much ease Respecting each other’s ideas Without a bully or a tease, They plan their class reunion, Putting their scariness on freeze...

On the Clothesline of Poems
On the clothesline of the night, I extend my ideas while sleeping ... In the morning clothesline, I collect the best words and dress myself of enthusiasm and poetry... II The words extended on the clothesline, expect me to collect them to dress me of fantasy... Anxious words tanned in the sun of fragrant morning wish to stroll in a poem by spring... III I ask the sun that warm mine clothesline words, while I meditate...

What softness in silence amidst the cacophony of a spin cycle world war. Lying next to your glow in sleep's stillness, careful of your bandaged hand. Watching your breath enter and leave, the rise and fall of such loveliness., reminded of our miracle wings as they unfolded in the evening heat. Was it only yesterday..,I walked the River road...

Clothesline View of Brooklyn
Window viewing a wall knows no world other than brick square against nothing; laundry blows in the yellow tinged wind. Flaps mimic birds flying. Bras trapped by wooden pins, splintering. Grey points piercing smoldering dust and fiber on its way to the refuse below. A push from an unseen hot whisper of foul breath smashes it into a window viewing a wall....

The Clothesline
Aha! At last! I've found the thing That understands my suffering A place of freedom from those I love And the tyranny of the One above It doesn't look like much, you say? Well then, look again, I pray! Have you ever seen more el'gant wood? I doubt you have, for no one could! And look at how these strings are taut Exactly the...

Two metal T's with wire line in-between a place to hang washed clothes that you cleaned Wooden clothespin to pinch and hold even unmentionables to the world you showed The sunny sun and warm wind would in no time dry all of them Sheets and shirts smelled like spring fresh and bright was everything Hanging blankets across all lines became tents and shade during...

Clothesline
I’m sure my mother’s punishing The clothes that she hangs there I don’t know the crime they commit But I can’t help but stare At clothes flapping in the warm wind Treacherously secure To a wire stretched thin from two poles For some purpose impure ©Copyright 2015. All rights reserved....
