Will You Withstand The Storm With Me?
...Fear and shame
Gripping at my veins
Are we both
Feeling the same?
Doubt clouds
My memory
Of the love
That we shared
Do we both
Feel the same
Outside forces
Bring a consistent

Melted Greeting Card
...Minuscule marshmallows in weak cocoa
there is no taste in the heat of the South;
It should always burn the top of the mouth
and be soothed inhaling a ball of snow;
Those worn out carolers wil...

She was whiney, persnickety,
And obvio...

Mid-Day Break-In
...Mid-Day Break-In
Was just about noon
Normal sort a day
Told someone new
To come our way
Suspected not a thing
Blind to the more
Had a good dead-bolt
Lock'n my door
I don't sparkle much

I thought I saw hanging a black widow
When suddenly I heard a bunch of noise

Looking for trouble down the street

And Then It Stopped
...A dark night, no stars, no moon,
light rain
the rumble of distant thunder
a gunshot, close
the sound of feet, running

Though most of me remains slain;
Legs propped up on iron heaters,
In my mouth spins an egg beater-
Roughly, duct tape holds it there,
Wrapped around my crims...

Intimate Conversation
...No deadbolt here;
No bell informing
Of presence--
My echo returned,
Calling me
An awakening voice…
Enter, I beckon;
Child of mine
Long before conception--
Loving you
Even when still

...Do Not Open the Door-
Merely because someone or something is on the other side.
There is no—Back to the Future...
NO redo’s’—cannot always simply just close the door....
