with Little Rosey in my grasp

There's palm fronds like a giant clock,
twenty hands instead of two
And there's the honeysuckle bush
that suddenly broke through
the gap in my neighbor's greenhouse

"Bonnie!" she insists
"Bonnie...

“Strange Ways, Here We Come”




the devil’s advocate
came waltzing 
through my doors

“I had no choice”

nor usurping interloper
and their profound lies

People woke up
Expecting to see
The usual suspects

Talking heads
Talking drivel
Talking trash

He had a salt and pepper beard
And long,...

My naive heart found a place to stay

To ponder upon the journey till then
Beneath...
