The sky has dug a hole in the cloud
it's fuc**** triangle's fault  I can't see the pigs

staring at fragmented people 
seeing them as dispensed particles

Fragrance of Life  ©

Cool rain drums on blistering 
asphalt, the scent streams into 
the nostrils--hot, grassy smell of

cedar lingers on the air 

Fresh popcorn drenched in 
butter, I sit in...

I stood and cried in The Magazine Bus,
Deep in New Orleans, in the city rush,

wheezing through the swampy ways, 
rattling electric wires in a maze
of strangling...

I can remember passing through
this town as a child,
stopping for a pie
on our way north.
Now it’s bypassed – barely more
than a clot lodged 
in the spidery veins of a map.
Most of the houses are empty,

Overcoat soaked right through to...

The carcass hung suspended
in a numbed shadow of the mind,
no more an animal, a form

more than meat. Headless,
hoofless, quartered and stripped 
of hide, what...

The wind blows through the curtains 
Whiter lace embracing the shape of the wind. 
The last snowflake melts. 
The flame burns on. 
Butterfly wings behind the glass 
Something left behind at the jewelery store 
forgotten,...

At a nearby butcher shop
hens cramped up in a small cage
with barely space to move
I felt like shouting "If I do this to you?"
Husband stopped me. He has job to do
He can't build a farm...

And he lifted out the mines where lead fell like bloody rain,
Driven sort of crazy, with death buzzing all around,
And the butcher...

‘I remember boyfriends,’ she liked to acknowledge
‘By naming them all after all kinds of sausage.’

The first time she made a...

Puppies roll on chocolate heavens floor
Covered in flour, powdered sugar for sure

Aluminum is chewed with cinnamon buns

Hungry playful hounds prefer raw meat
The butcher shop is right next door

they butcher those with sound

Voices against their Kingdom
they fear and do not like
Raping their women with modern views
while butchering a protesting man

Both Prince, King...

for those who seek meaning or reasons
and although some says no,
the pain clock covers all seasons.
