How I Am With Clothes

...This is how I am with clothes:

of being too close
to an unbalanced footing,

For Richard

...Somewhere, way out there
I know of souls who grapple 
With the Big Questions
The ones I only hear echos of.

Here on Earth, in my little nest,
I play parlor tricks of the mind
Looking for empt...

An Unholy Christmas Mash Up

...The snow lay thick; the snow lay flat
Upon my roof, a pitter pat
A reindeer or an alley cat?
