Three Turtle Songs
Turtle by the Door
The bears and wolves are few;
one threadbare widow mourning,
two grays as consumptive as smoke.
The large dwindle,
their bodies grow more awkward,
more at odds.
The heavier beast's sway
like drunks in the scant woods.
Under a pelting...

Why Programmers As Single As Told By the Programs Themselves
In the cages at the zoo they crowded around each other
A million milling from father to brother
All speaking in a babel a million languages
From clicks and keyboard clacks to switches and bandages
A group is...

Lost Lake Odessa
My world spins round
too fast most times
from Greek deep roots
on Black Sea ports
crossing Jordan's River
on Catherine's Great
trains meet sailboats
greeting sea planes
flying off to sports unknown
throughout Lake Odessa Highway.
Where Ottomans
blend Spanish matadors,
heroes for Earth's day
and night...

This Game
Heavenly bodies, heavenly beings;
living entities unfettered by gravity.
Spinning marbles in a universal box.
God’s favorite game,
knuckle busters are smacking planets,
right and left and the debris reforms…
new…marbles…pee-wee dust.
Cat-eyes glow as they sail apart; agate...

Her Wonderful Mother Nature
HER WONDERFUL MOTHER NATURE
Once upon her entering and exiting
Her comings and goings
Groceries, gym or mall
Mother Nature made the mirrors love her
All-knowing reflection,
No adjustments needed...
Please...not one correction
Causing confusion, she's unflawed
Everywhere, in...

On the Streets of Kamora
On the streets of Kamora,
a man sits at the Fountain of Angels,
eying the days offerings
which lie at the bottom
of the tepid water.
The man remembers when he was
one of the click clacking masses,
on their way...

On the Train
Clickety clack, it's alright to say,
time doesn't stand still,
as the train clickety clacks away.
Time never stands still,
no, no, it can't and never will
rolling on these beaten tracks;
the train keeps...

Scenes From Home
** SCENES FROM HOME **
The curtain wafts on an open-window’s breezing air, like liquid
Blue in the room, bringing beauty with magic’s tracing
The woman with her still raining, trickling water-streams
Over her calf as she lifts...

Normal People
Normal people come in packs of six
Some are born in cardboard boxes
In suburbs, in summer, in campers
In the middle of the middle night
In middle class somewhere on a train
Between clicks and clacks on railroad...

We Break the Past To Build the Future
the chimney stacks
of the old power station
claws at the belly of the clouds
and with its sulfurous billowing
it bellows its stench
tinting the clouds, yellowing nicotine stains
as its cadaverous fingers clench
and releases, as it pleases
the painted nails...

The Tall Girl With Skinned Knees - (From My Chap Book "from Childhood"
The tall girl with skinned knees hair of straw
Shirley ‘the hag’
Her voice cracks when she talks
Skinny torn knees knock when she walks
She will flavor all Shirleys to come
Her face...

The Object of My Dreams
In her eyes rises the flames of love,
The passion of care and cherish;
She sings with such a beautiful voice
That the clicks and clacks of her rhythms makes me dance to her tune;
The words she airs...

Not Him Who Wears My Face
Woman! darkly gleam is your work I esteem…love it!
From mountainous mountain top to valley‘s belly
I hear you pluck…on eagle‘s wings…onward pluck
How nice, your device visits and forces in their smelly
Glamorous cells, a glad evening‘s grief...

An Abandoned Rural Station
A former place this, a patch where roots rattle,
where stubble has a ferrous frizzle.
A long-truncated railroad stop
humming still with a faded reality.
As dry voices on the wind, they return
- the homesteaders and journeymen,
the harnessed horses.
Pants'...

where stubble has a ferrous frizzle.
A long truncated railroad stop
humming still within a surrogate reality.

Dancing With Angels
Dancing with the angels
Whirling around in space
Taking so much comfort from
Each serene unfeatured face,
Spinning like a Dervish,
Grasping the chance
To evolve and develop this
Ever more complex dance.
Higher and higher
Floating away from it all
Until the...

Cliff Notes For a Corpse
This eulogy is just ragged cliff notes
to sum up his eighty two years
but only the happy tones are used..
not a word about
the drinking rages
the black and blue children
that affair with the babysitter

Crimson
Silently she sheds her tears,
whispered voices no one hears,
watching days turn into years,
petrified by all her fears.
Waging war with words of wrath,
startled by her lurid laugh,
tripping blindly down the path,
clicking beads compute the math.
In darkness...
