GAS STATION LIGHTS II

...
a lone ancient dark night
Your engine stumbles
rumbles, coughs to a stop
so close to E
The gas pump, blocky, digital
smells of gasoline
like a primordial dance 
an intercourse of machines

A Sea of Pus

...They call it a profession.
Selling your skin is not the same
as selling your skill.

They call it a bad habit.
Nose picking is not the same
as digging dignity.

They call it empowerment.

Give Me the Rhythm

...With anguished hands, (they lie) his hands in play.
I saw him as a mad, creative type.
In pick of months, his guitar coughs dismay.
The covid creep, his voice would steal, and sni...

Breathless Boy

...Lungs like burnt paper—
folded too many times
by hands that forgot
how to be gentle.

Morning comes with wires.
He wears machines like
second lungs,
ghosts that sleep beside him
and hum.

Cauht Under a Fallin Sky

...
A scything rain crops the high reeds.
Never saw the storm coming,
too busy rowing my mind
through its own river.

The ducks and herons have all gone

Engines roar to life,
Rookies grip is tight with nerves
First lap, heart on f...

Whisper of the Mirror

...In the breadth of madness,
A silhouette twisted by illusion,
Flows the molten stream of evil,
Into the chasms of his gray dreams.

The rebellions of flesh, heavy with indolence,
And the barrenn...

No Time for Routine

...The Lep, has washed hands of St. Pat’s, does lean
and fiddles in space, against tree, routine.
The pot at the end of sun,
was found a bit late; one won.
Lep’s blind to the coot who handles gold-g...

City Frozen Cold

...Verse 1

His coat is torn his 
shoes are thin
The cold cuts deep beneath his 
skin
Little boy coughs small 
hands that shake
Winter's breath is much to hard 
To hard to take.

My Mind

...Mind like a square that is twisted. 
I have a lime of a brain. 
Squeezing but not hurting. 
Four of me in my vision. 
I have them. 

They were like blankets with bits of fuzz on them. 
You can...

The Dream-Stealer

...they call her kind, they call her bright
a whisper soft, a spark of light
but fairies lie, and mortals weep
when stolen dreams no longer sleep

she flits through keyholes, thin as mist
with ice...

The Clingy Flu

You’ve made my body your place of rest.

Now I’m your prisoner, broken, bent.

You stick to me like stubborn glue,
