Lose Antennae

...Lose antennae?  I’m a beetle!
Not one bug in Aleghenny
(at least, none you’ll ever meet’ll)
lose antennae.

Luck with chicks? I won’t have any!
Directionless, centripetal,
wireless wimps are t...

...Curdling wave of denatured purity
Milk and acid, perverted mated pair
Waltzing, obese ballroom spinners 
Twirling, breeders spun by children’s fingers 
A fleet, in concentric circles turning.

Nose

...Nose

Once a year my 
long ears and long snout, exhausting to 
tolerate, disconcerting, are lined with

I can convert my 
long nostrils into

I reprimand painfully ...

Creative Creation

...Zygote ideas crowd cobwebbed thoughts.
Foetal creations evolving...
Yearning for life.
Crammed in empty wombs
Contracted by phantom possibilities 
Gatekeepers to life
Aborted hopes and dreams

...Three states
in five hours.
Maybe we’ll stop somewhere nice
like a KOA campground.
A kid can hope. It’s hot and it would be great to go for a swim. Instead we stop at the liquor store,
dad buys ...

...Seed - scattered strewn or downtrodden.
Grain stuck on passive flytrap mucus.

Premium MemberThe Door

...There came a knocking
At the door
Which stirred me
On the floor
Circled up
In foetal 
Comfortable 
In my position
Upon the 
Cold hard floor
Sitting
I brought my knees up
To rest my chin u...

...Germ of essence. 
Human blob. 
Shattered eggshell to the chicklet hatched.
Interlocking  family of a  kingdom.
Beget or begone? Antigone!

in the rustle of a mottled deer in oak pine forests I heard her weep or thought I did,
or maybe laugh when flitting brightly ...

Lamentations laid to rest.
I, a foetal curl, 
Breathing  in your life, now gone
Cocooned in your unwashed shirt....

their floppy necks curled

defeated by life
lights suddenly out
cruel death peaceful

You Did It, Now Undid It

...The moving finger writes and having writ
moves on. And that's the bitter core of it.

So did you scheme to mold we are so base,
like you're disgusted in the human race?

And was it the mirror t...

Antimony

...Dear child,
Do you see the lady in the red dress?
She has eyes like diamonds
Crystal clear, sharp, blue and shining.
And a smile that could
Stop your heart cold
And then, in a moment, bring it ...
