LETS KEEP OUR LIBERATING CUPS OVERFLOWING
LET’S KEEP OUR LIBERATING CUPS OVERFLOWING
(Apropos Of Ancestral Cup And Saucer Ways)
It has been said that justice
Is getting what you deserve:
The gift of grace, given priceless,
Flowing from God’s sacred reserve:-
Curiously, I asked Papa one day,
Why does he drink his coffee from the cup?
Always pouring mine into his saucer;
And here is what, to me, he

Coffee Cups and Misery
I grab myself a coffee cup
To drink the sorrow away
Sip by sip, to the final drop
My mind is led astray
Drive the frigid cold aside
To keep my pulse from being still
And free the fantasies I hide
Infuse my heart devoid of thrill
Bliss I find in but a spoon
What more if I swig all it in
Though surely this

To Fill Our Cups With Good
nor peace that dwell below us
even in the depths of hell
let Satan hoisted
His bright sails of light and darkness
to all the ships that sail
voices sing out towards the dark wine sea
bring forth the ubiquitous blue light
from the melodic swing of the pendulum
while navigating through dark spaces
we need ice water to quench our

Peanut Butter Cups
She always had one
In her hand.
“Peanut butter cups,”
She’d say,
“They help me forget.”
She spent her saved change
On peanut butter cups
At the 7-11 down the road
Every day.
She would come to class
Holding a peanut butter cup
And would sit in the second row—
Second chair—
Eating it silently.
When she was done
She would fold the wrapper
Into a little heart
And slip it into

He Is In His Cups Again
Crazy white rabbit trumpeter had a magic horn
You could hear its cloudy sound past the Iowa corn
I think he is in cups again my great-great-grandma said.
She always knew when he was stoned out of his head.

Two of Cups
Reading Thomas More
at a bar in Prospect Park,
when she said
“Do you have an extra pen?”
That tarot reading didn’t last long
I don’t even particularly
believe in that kind of witchcraft
but she got me to admit
things I didn’t even know I knew.
She’s in California now
I am in her Brooklyn apartment
sitting on her hardwood floor,
trying to stop her cat
from

Four Cups of Wine

Truth be told, it's drunk late at night
with kids up and cranky
It's not my idea of a delight
Many heads will be spinning

When Our Cup Does Not Run Over
Sin is a revelation. It is God who shows us OUR sin. He also points to the BLOOD OF JESUS as the antidote. Sin is only seen to be SIN - against God - when He reveals it. Otherwise WE just talk of it as a wrong against a sibling. Or sin as an

Four Cups of Wine
~ A Passover Tale ~
Four cups of wine
They say I must drink
I’m getting too old for this
Don't you think...
But I psyched myself up
and drank the first cup
The room didn’t spin
I thought I might win…
Then came a second cup
and later a third
I glanced at my son
