A Nuclear Future
The specter of nuclear war haunts the world again
not long after we all thought it might end
As agreements of Reagan and Gorbachev are trashed
the angst of Krushchev and Kennedy streams past…
Today, Iran...

Funny Teacher
My teacher who thought sun-bathing made her well-red,
graded me average, she was mean to the power hundred.
She was once a banker, but after some time lost interest,
wanted to be a pilot, so her career could take off for the best.

instead she bought a boat,...

Anatomy of Silence
After poem for "How Do I Love Thee?" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I offered you trust, an open door without locks, My heart lay exposed, vulnerable on the rocks.

with this heart of mine?
Would you do me a...

A sweating kind of missing
A burned open kissing
The glass shared between us two
Flames in our faces as we move
To the synchrony past
Our dressing these masks
These temperatures rising in veins of you and I
God, brief tourniquets in time —...

Pure Imagination And FantasyThere once lived a one eyed girl who had twenty twenty vision
she used her imagination each time she turned on the television
One peeper would sleep while the other one looked and looked
through a slit she did perceive each dream her mind had booked
Viewing the world from an angle of one hundred and fifty...
