Deception
...At sunset, orange frescos on the west wall
Sink gradually into the bowels of hills flung
By distant wavelengths of a backward illusion,
Which yells silently at concupiscent terns,

Showing respect although you're disrespected

rainfall on roses, petals fall
...I grew a rose from cuttings
pinched from a loved one's plot,
watered at ground-level, not at the top.
Dung and mulch kept well away,
from stems lest their collars rot.
In time, it grew buds tha...

reading a map without
ever looking back

For them it's just a show but

The Floor And Me
...I like to write poetry sitting on the floor.
Even when my body is sore.
From feeling panic throughout the night.
So I am tense and tight.

Zombies And Chores
...If they were zombies.
Who have no brains so they don’t care about what I’ve turned into…
Maybe they’d be more likely,
To come back for me.
I’m not saying they don’t care.
They just have to do...

With blinding shaft and bright bleeding of sun,
the limbs of trees, like flames, trust their tinter.

From back when I was 7 and 8,
When candy bars cost 5 cents,
And “being polite” meant
Even to strangers. The wrinkled,
Baggy, old man, who
Lived in the basement apartment
