Why Life
Why does dawn dress robust morning,
while dusk undresses sight?
Each dawn incarnates another Earth Day
a lifetime of Easter mornings
redeeming nocturnal sight's revolution,
another therapeutic day of gift-it-forward light,
some longer,
some shorter
before naked covered night.
Why life?
To uncover...

The Silver Axe
He wondered with horror how so many memories, so many forms to be branded on his skin and engrave there.
Then the wet rattle of a twisted throat, and he beats his last breath to his...

Inevitable Death Defines Afterlife - Deux
Inevitable death defines afterlife - deux
Flinty stones figuratively rolling inside
whooping out that primal
binaural beat of your drum
ma mind haphazardly
ricocheting axon to neuron
inducing inxs of chaos
wreaking entropy beheld
by beauty and the beast

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots I
Cluttering above huddled rooftops
Of sprawling villages
And shy provincial towns;
Rising sharply amidst swooping
Declinations;
Hesitating when gathering at the
Tangled woodland perimeters of
Outlying greenland bounds,
Jostled apex ridges detach among
Themselves...
When habitually roused from early
Mornings
Newly awakened sounds.
Electrical milk floats whir...

Short Breaths, Long Breaths
I sit breathing, feel the breaths in and out,
know the breaths long and short, wish the peace
for heaven and earth, wish for soothing seasons
of rain and wind, and wish for all to have...

Death Undignified, Fort Laramie 1860
The summer sun was high. The heat was oppressive.
The whalebone corset dug into the body's tender parts.
Peering from the shop, my hand touching the pane
of dearly brought glass, I feel the vibration of the incoming...

Death Undignified
The summer sun was high. The heat was oppressive.
A whalebone corset dug into my body's tender parts.
Peering from the shop, my hand touches the pane
of dearly brought glass it vibrates with the hoof-beat of riders.

High noon in Fort Laramie, the summer sun is oppressive.

Sabbath Schooner
A perfect Sunday, as only god can make
The skies the barometer, tend to set the mood
This day clouds…oh, so wooly white
Like sheep grazing… among the blossom blue
Sunshine’s accents must be added too
Dad, magnificent in his...

Another Love Poem
I'm not writing another
All the words have since been said
Besides, it's dark and it's cosy
As I lie alone in bed
I'll magic up a subject..
Let the words just tumble out
Be proactively cathartic
A poetic layabout
Not...

Day's End In Enniedorp
A day in June.
Tuesday.
Week’s worst day!
Twenty to five.
A wintry sun,
Low in the sky,
Casts long shadows,
Emits no warmth.
I’m in a dorp
With tired shops,
Bank and church,
GPO and a Court.
Tucked together
Along a street,
With bumpy tar
And dusty holes.
Now and...

The Mysterious Tankards of Dunkirk Hill
For Didds
Four tankards found at the foot of the hill
Bet someone got w*nkered, and now they feel ill
Bet it went down so easy that no one resisted
And now they’ve forgotten the tankards existed
But down at...

Memorial
Dark clouds scuttle heavy and full
cold wind biting at the exposed flesh
brown grass crusted with rotten snow
abandoned Park ignored by those passing by
often passing fleeing quickly by
thoughts of the meaning rotting deep inside
feelings long festered...

Dawn Arrives At Riverside Park
Independence Day has come and gone....
All magic has been trucked away to come again another day
Sweltering, yet, in the dewy lawn,
is the fragrance of burnt offerings....
hovering low like a old gray ghost,

I Wish I Had Died Too
I wish I had died too
I wish I had died on a mystery plane from Malaysia
Carrying over 200 souls yet to live
Their last beautiful moments
I wish I had sat on my first class section
Sipping ice...

Enduring a Monsoon
I was awakened by the sounds of clatters and thumps
as a whoosh of breeze made my window blinds thud.
I rose with a groan and felt the rise of goose bumps
on my skin. Frigid morning air...

A London Stage For Chuck
There is always a way, the optimist says,
Yet the creak of life’s tensions groan low,
They shadow the quake that the floor he walks makes,
And the air as it travels says so.
See the mist pale...

Pandora
Without meaning to, you tore me to shreds,
I now listen to sporadic rain outside as it pitter-patters,
And I think, land sakes alive, land sakes alive,
It’s the thought of you alone that matters.
And then there are...

Peace and Happiness At Last
The tumultuous whirlwinds had now ceased
The roaring, nettlesome sounds have dried away
The tide is now silent
The clatters and jangles,
now dead, they are.
Far and wide, the drumming sounds, ululations...
For the happiness, peace and calamity, found again
All...

I Married Myself
I married myself,
The female version,
With quirks and misgivings,
Sacred cows and aversions,
And yet, we are different,
Not completely consistent,
And our familiar bad habits,
Are way too persistent,
She brings to me honor,
A dignified shake-up,
Amidst scattered and voluminous,
Containers of make-up,
Her...

Wabi-Sabi
Cars are the wind on the streets
semi-truck wheels shriek thunder,
rain shatters against stone and brick walls
on dusty roads, oak trees fence with twigs—
wushu wooden clatters.
Dreadful arrays of dryads
azure and amethyst gossamer haze,
sleek, silken strikes gist...

Lester and I
Get out the vote?
I can't I'm on a boat.
Mixing paints, red and blue.
My political flag is purple,
That's right,
Go 'head and sue.
Once I pull into harbor,
Sure I'll consider Obamer...
Sorry it's been awhile
Is my pronunciation vile?
Do we...

Each Passing Clouds
The sailing ships above my head,
unimageable shapes navigating through,
as I walk the lonely stretch of the beach.
Memories stir chapters of the past.
I always wondered what my life would have been
if I took a different course,...
