While I Journey
...Across the daily bridge I stoop,
to gaze upon the world,
always with the option overhead,
two faces of the same mint,
or just as likely liquid mirror,
in the very widest sense,
but such ad hoc...

Dear Daddy
...I remember the day
your hands supported my cycle
for the last time,

Hibernation
...Tormented soul
And the poetries sleeping underneath.
Prosecuted silhouette,
And the senses slough off and weep.

The poignant silence of an empty home.

not.
But the heat of the moment,
dependent
always uneasy but of passion,

When I remember the taste
Of your bitten skin
When I remember how
Your fists struck the wheel
As you drove in the rain
your soft face, caked with salt
When I speak

Around the surface of material structure.
Swallowing the brightness of day,darkness exchange,

Perilous Fare

yet I adore him
for all the stars he ate
