On one night, 
is it because of a bewitched full moon?
while driving my rusty shaking junk car
I became Don Quixote de la Mancha 
mounted on Rozinante holding a lance under the arm aslant,
and with a...

You want to know its merits? 
Very well, then. Daylight slants 
deliciously across the boy's 
inclined, thoughtful face. 
His lace collar, crumpled,

As I fought the battle inside, 
A fine clothe matty was on board, 
Most expensive colors lay all spread, 
Other brushes and pencils cluttered the floor, 
I had already...

yet prints went aslant, surrendered none to our
unbroken hearts in bottled notes cast adrift

Flat pack Wobbler

Procured from mega shop, a straight-lined box amid a cardboard wall 
Where jig saw chattels rise above the queues of flatbed wheelies
And underarm catalogues patterned with an iconic list of what they are

Particles of ice dust, high in the atmosphere
Surrounded by vapor, condensing on it’s skin
More and more, they coalesce together 
Forming rain clouds, of tiny droplets within. 

Growing heavier, reaching saturation point,
Impossible to defy, gravity’s taking...

Ya’ know

It seems I’ve been here before
Else how could I know
How many steps up… to the door?

Just which plank would squeak
Beneath my feet…The porch swing
That hangs there no more

The bell push dark tarnished
The door stripped...

Clouds, the clouds diffuse a sad and somewhat somber hue;
Wind, the wind bemoans her loss of reins and calm control;
Crows, the crows flee men of straw, sleeves slapping at the wind;

Grass, the grass defends with...

My memory is obsolete in fashion:
the short blue skirt I saw you in that day
is out of date eons ago. My passion
has cicatrized from when you went away,
but thrifty memory still stores your grey
T-shirt with...

There is a need for quietness today,
time drapes itself in velvet curtains.
I must move aslant if anywhere needs
to be somewhere.

I listen to my neighbors toilet flush,
It takes a long time for the sound
to drain away...

as he goes
his shadow falls
ahead of him

to the side
and back as
if his will

commands its place
near then aslant
forward side to

the couple glides

arm in arm
embracing rhythms woven

around and around
returning again as

January.
I now perform the annual alchemy,
my purpose :
to capture Spanish sunshine in a jar.

Seville :
white fragrant flower to bitter orange sphere.
Childrey :

I am haunted in the dimming by a thought.

Why did virtues supernal nag me for naught?
