Slumming it in adverse poverty
In Victorian London’s  
Limehouse White Chapel and Bethnal Green

Your feathered words arrive tickling my ears
The tip of your nose brushes
The back of my neck

Around me in a seamless stream, leaves cartwheel in the wind

I still feel you in the summer meadows 
we walked
and in thoughts that shape 
prayers without words.

staggering, panting, 
exulting. 
You shone like a cartwheel of light 
in my soul. 
And, oh,...

I’m one hundred!

And what do I...

Promises made to self were broken repeatedly
But still I will smile I’ve made it another year

Do you feel the chaotic concerto?
The cloaked and clandestine composer
Plucking at the ivory keys, exactly eighty eight
With even more ways to tangle those
Countless red strings of taut linear fate.
To be a being, we first must...

Wearing dinosaur boots
blundering through the city lights
of a brain high on low energy.

Being a concrete Tarzan
bending only to crumble
at the waist
while within me
a jungly place rains ripples.

Riding a speeding bullet train,
watching a fizzy sky crap...

Watching leaves cartwheel down
we meet at the bench
tucked under the trees, in the park

Unable to speak
I am feeling a squeeze in my breast
My emotions are clenched
with years of unrest

when yesterday rolling, rolling are the tears...
Jagged nerves and pulse congest in colliding repair,
