In The Club Poems

Come The Break Of Day

...Saw you standing in the club door,
not my normal kind,
something I you just grabbed my stare,
tumbled through my mind.
Had to come and buy you a drink,

In a box
Zooming up
To my desk

In the...

Floating into my mind’s eye is Luna moths, three.
Dazzling in the club of commons, we click with a knee.
Pleasing the grasshopper who gives a lou...

Then invite Lorraine downtown, the lovely loyal

LaDonna  Poirret had been allowed entrance and she had never hand washed his dirty socks before a game and ironed them dry as ...

Pain

We don’t ev...
