Across the Way

...Where is the sunlight's pleasantness
by time and space across it gets
to eye that's stretched (for here 'tmust stay)
to catch but glimpse of summer’s day?

Where is the fresh and tender blade

Scrumping

...Late summer
and the barefoot boys are scrumping.
They have scrunched-up themselves
into the green sap of leaf and branch,
as trees to be climbed, branches to fall from.

In the village shop

...Quoth felon fate t' nosy nature -
savoring sapid strays punctured.
Worn winds for eerie eavesdrop tarr':
"Why oft does thou nurse salty scars?"

Nosy nature hewn smooth visage

I Cut My Toe Nails

...I carve out my dried husked hope

And in the cave I hide the desperation
of living

Carefully, I cover the opening with the foliage
of normalcy

I feel husked and scraped

...We lingered too the passenger like
awaiting the snake that runs on dike
We sat, hands tied to lower jaw like
Mom waiting for her dour child to spike
For hopefully the rain which  pours like

Where corn was husked, and seeds were hulled

So, this is where the meal was ground,

     at highland manor apartments aye
daily encounter, one bewitchingly dreaded

extended matriarchal farm.

A Twin Fireless Room

...The hearts that do not beat
Quiet in the viaduct;
        A steeled echo husked
Alchemic clones vastly entreat.
