Handcuffs for Chief Craig who snuffs! No longer seems one who bluffs, Empty his third boxed up Snuff; I could not help “An Enough!” The act capturing as duff, Performer to nostrils rough… Pity had I for Craig’s nose Brownish Powder hoped to close: Bad Air spreads each time it blows, East/West: wherever it goes… Craig’s fights with snuff getting tough, Off Craig should...

Sore Shoulders
Sore shoulders Rough nightmares In my sacred pillow An unexpected message From the past Under a new name I feel the hair on my neck tingle I'm being watched An autumn has passed So much has been done So much cannot be undone I wake in fear Exhale in relief The weight has Already been lifted My hands aren't tied To a detonating bomb I rub my wrists Free But weirdly uncomfortable To not...

New Handcuffs
New Handcuffs We had taken our boys out to a theme park one day They could run around wild and burn some energy away On the return trip from the gift shop they did ask to buy A plastic sword, a shied and a pair of toy handcuffs, I didn’t ask why. Two days later they asked if their friend...

Handcuffs With the Keys
Shackled by the past But I am the one The one who holds the keys Will I ever escape All of the tragic memories Will I break free Of what here that is holding me I know the answer To the questions that I seek Are hidden in my soul Just waiting for a chance to speak I bide my time Just drudging through my days As this...
