NOT HOLDING HANDS

...
Why couldn't I hold your hand? You ask
Yourself in golden bowers of infinity -
Was it because he felt too old to do it?
It was too infantile an act to make?

Questions! Always ...

Depression Again

...The phone rang. 
Saying “Hello,” more quietly. 
Saying nothing.
And the nothingness worsens over time. 
Times of hopelessness don’t exist.
It’s just hopelessness. 
Not any particular time. 
No...

FORBIDDEN

...Inspired by "Part Time Lover" - Stevie Wonder

And really ought to turn and walk away.
I came today when in my heart I knew
Just what a dangerous game ...

DIALOGUE WITH ONESELF

...Neither academic, nor preacher, nor politician, nor judge,
But a writer, with a fetish for the act of creation —
Not to broadcast my thoughts, or to synthesize critiques for others,
But for the va...

The Longest Night

...The darkest of mornings,
Light creeping slowly, very slowly,
Round the edges of my world,
As the day begins.

All day a half light struggles to make an impact 
But loses the battle
And dusk ta...

Playing Pinball

...Carpal tunnel twinges

End Of August

...August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born.
The odd uneven time—Sylvia Plath




End Of August
             
The end of August is oh so near                  ...

Sand

...Grains shed imperceptibly.
From my sand sculptures.
So they are always coming apart, slowly.
I like to build turtles.
And cats too.
I use sand first.
Then water.
Just enough water.
But water ...

New Eyes

...How did I not see this before?
The green of the trees
 with their cornucopia of shades
Layered and punctuated periodically
 with a unique dapple of light
Amid the litany of man's failing

...Lightly, almost imperceptibly,

The brightness and youth
of morning vibrates with
exciting expectations
of unknown adventures
waiting to be discovered,

The Buffalo

...No one’s exactly sure how this buffalo in the 1960s
Found its way to live in the heart of the city
How it separated from a sky stampede
How the great beast dropped its guard and refused to riot

fidelity defining the marital law

pillars of creation

...
               pillars of creation 
          
            obscured by darkness 
             an evolution of mass
