you are so far away

moving between these fussy wise cracks,

The Court Is My Witness
The court was a refuge for my thoughts and aspirations
An explosion of apprehensive sensations
Breathing in the moment which I couldn’t fathom
My own doubts being my one and only phantom
Told by the media that I didn’t...

Sylvan Summer Part I
The escape commenced.
The endless drive from middleclass suburbia
ala Levittown; across hill and dale,
packed in a 1947 black beauty
of a Lincoln Continental; to the land of Peyton Place
and Steven King; Maine.
Lemon up and tangerine down,...

Phantom feelings...

that missing attachments
were parts of real healing.
Painful loss replays
trauma bond tricks and treats.
Days of death danced a two-step
with hot held hope
Two faced masking for supply.
Divine love's inculcation
Came from a different...

At Three O'Clock In the Morning
AT THREE O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING

Neon (9/11)
When dulled down shock painfully became
a pickaxe ache behind shimmering eyes,
the bludgeoning screen hammered memory cells
repeatedly, over and over.
Tears exploded, soft rain dampened flame,
the grumbling dust cloud debris disguised
broken hearts bursting in agonised swells
searching for...

And in every moving cell working for the other
That preaches and presses in a padded jail

where hands of Seth
Thomas no longer clock
freed at last from cataclysmic aftershock
reverberating thru every baited cell
after quaking mine flinty bedrock
well nigh since birth zapping bloodstock,

You had us doing hard labor

Cramp in my muscles
You saw me as cheap....

Cold Night -Teddy's Journey Iii-
Hark! Hear the bells ringing out,
On this chilly night of liveliness.

As if I do not matter, I am worthless.

Children and couples glance.
Shops have their doors...
