To Exhume Buried Pain
some folks keep buried
searing inner pain,
or lock them within,

of reluctance;
it's important...
to always
ask questions,
starting with...
"how are...
you"? just...
ask.

When They Exhume My Poems
When I die
I give the Pulitzer Board
Permission

Meter and Trochee
Taking notes
As they

souls with seeds of true harvest
most notably we strew our seeds onto the
hard ground of leeched existence where
little

Howard Carter's Expedition Revised Edition
I am here on an archaeological quest,

of Egypt's long extinct historical facts,
in treasured sands buried, like gold mines earnestly
sought for in stories shrouded in mythology.
With a large contingent just as curious as I,
hardly daunted by curses, but with shoulders high,
we went to the field,

Dont Exhume School
Swimming in mire of memory,
Searching the fish of forgetfulness,
Those are not the good days;
Nervous eyes will get attacked,
Leaving residue of a small heart,

Hands smack the sensitive back,
Infernal, Thrashed till tears,
Suspense of demonic destruction,
Climax of nervy showers,
Bringing noises of home to job,
Ruthlessly pulling off frustrations;
Child became a punching bag;
Explanation of sparing
