Long Crossing(a) Poems

I’m in distress
I can’t express
How I feel deep down inside
This feeling is a terrible tide
How do I impress
Everyone here in excess?
I’m just here to simply abide
By God’s Law, I don’t subside

My tears are diamonds in...

Every second, every minute, every single thought about you
Wonders of this still could be too good to be true
Fluttering in my heart, palpitations go amiss
I yearn for the touch of your skin, and I constantly...

Obstinate defiance from an indignant child 
Consummate reliance on the spirit of the Wild

A syndicate of derision that is waiting to depart 

The honorary commemoration...

That was just twenty miles south of the Canadian border
As a boy I enjoyed going to school and was doing really well

walking over the crimson red dead.

standing on soil blood soaked in red!

My heart...

Asphalt

Cars swerving, horns honking, I’m struggling to cross the road.
I’m not a chicken if that’s what you’re thinking.
But it would be easier to be able to honk my own horn.
Save my life, maybe.

All I see...

I've always loved lizards, which explains a lot, 
My youth spent exploring what others would not. 
Our days at the park would find me in pursuit
Of speedy blue bellies (in long dry swim suit.)	
A butterfly...

LINES

We LINE up in traffic, or clear out the door, 
And there are BEELINES we make, to the seashore.

Down a runway skybound
to cross a continent, 
see from a window
a city fall away
with bright beads 
strung along a coast,
then turning inland, 
clumped townships 
shrinking to solitary lights
sunk far apart
into hours
of featureless dark. 

Disconnected
from the...

In the house of atom,

Reaches us through humans 
Or through things around us 
Created by souls on earth with God’s grace. 

While on a study adventure 
One such act of kindness...
