winter's solstice,
healthy green life's time

These are expansive gadfly questions,
problems,
issues of complexly dipolar reason,
leftbrain dominant
either-or thinking
we are either thinking or...

You feel left alone with your own vices
Yet, you don’t think there is a problem

Remembering Mother On Mother's DayRemembering Mother on Mother's Day

I remembered
The time my parents
Bought me a brand-new pair
Of rubber-soled, hi-top, black
Canvas running shoes.
To say I was as proud as a peacock
When I donned the footwear,
Was an...

She Sleeps In DreamsShe is
sallow-skinned, salacious, seductive beauty,
secure, safely sequestered in seclusion;
sinking, shaking, shattered, submerged
self-contained, self-centered in selfless solitude
she sleeps,
a slip of a slenderized, spindly silhouette

Upon my shoulders I seemed to be carrying a cloud of doom
There I fell crumpled and spiritually shattered
Coddling a heart beaten and battered
Lonely pleas of mercy...

Don'T Buy ItDon't buy it,
Scatter the wishes,
However (desperate and maligned),
For all of them,
The (murmur) and the (mesmerized),
Youth-paid homage,
Ill-afforded, unattended and
Graciously subversive,
By aged animals nodding
Approval against the (backdrop)
Of their worst intentions,
Hope that eloquence, depth,
Perceived connection and
Immersions of familiarities

Taking you through bushels and thorns
You endured the pain of the splinter and shrubs
Swerving through highways and by ways
U-turning to where disaster resides

Pigeon ManPigeon Man Frank,
buried underneath the
morning fog coddling the
fractured arteries of
urban sprawl
which mill humanity
against civilization's grindstone
Pigeon Man Frank,
bears wounds of scorn
as a foul wraith that
dredges along the
peripheries of civil society,
Lo! the herpes sore
squatting on the
public's...

Thresh's HalloweenThey're polishing their broomsticks
and sharpening their hats
Catching little spiders
and feeding them to bats
Howling at their cauldrons
and cackling to cats
Cradling wooden stir sticks
and babbling for spats
Mixing up their potions
and yelling out their spells
Rebelling that they're no...

Who We AreWho we are begins at birth,
Our DNA a start,
But every soul upon the earth
From others stands apart.
Our personalities are there
From when we take a breath,
Remaining with us everywhere
'Til we succumb to death.
The quiet, shy, rambunctious,...

Crossing the LinesParents get caught up in the politics of crossing the lines,
feeling too apprehensive to discipline their children,

La Dame De FerBuilt somewhere between 1887 and 1889
she became a spot
for lovers
who overlook the city
in amazement at the Seine
as it flows lazily through the bustling city
of narrow roadways
and glimmering lights
She rises from the ground
this immense metal...

Forsaking external pleasures for internal time

Tall, erect, flaunts pure white petals around a golden center; resists hungry
insects.
