Grocery Store

...I’m taking too long in here. 
This cart I am trying to steer. 
Is squealing around corners constantly. 
There’s nothing except throwing groceries in endlessly.

Circular Saw

...In the late fall

To a massive circular saw
Like something o...

He seeks (in tandem with the missus)

It's All Right

...It’s all right if I fall apart
Vases are meant to be broken
My glue fails in togetherness
See ancient plain of jars stalwart
Old, weathered, and unwoken

It’s all right if I break into pieces
...

The Clearing

...It's summer, and sunlight's syrup pours sweet into afternoon.
We've come to the bungalow's cemetery
to pick over bones of bygone days;
touch time's tender skin, lay flowers on childhood's grave.

The Old School House

...The tiny old school, which was my first guide,
has become a museum of a distant age.
The playground--swings, bars, and slide,

A fence around, a ticket t...

No Name

...to love and be loved,
two sides upon the same coin,

The Vine Maker

twisted and broken in Chinese markets,

of flapping wings. 

With help, 
he could have strung his carcass up 
like a hog on a hook.

Signature manoeuvre to sensor fusion
Align and contort the soul’s dismemberment

just as she held God’s humanity
in the folds of her dress
when ...

        murdered
            in the
 bargain basement
              of a
