Time and Time again
 Uncle Poppy sat on Brutus's back
 Brutus stood still never to move a jot
 So in order to offer an inducement
 In the lead was Molly sent
 Uncle Poppy mounted Brutus,

So today, amongst the peppermint tongue of wisdom,
we languidly swim laps around the world.
We absorb the atmosphere and lick the sky off our fingertips
with greedy grins.
We dive to caverns hard pressed by the sea
and swim...

Happy Endings 


A long day in the office is just a prelude
to the kaleidoscopic formations
gathered beneath store front close out sales
and pigeon feathers as I head for the station,
the five o’clock hopefully on time

Strolling down...

she sits on a toilet seat
slitting her stomach
making small lines
that sent mental messages
to her head
bleeding out the anger
that dilates her perspective
of this world
In the dark 
she wrote mantras
on her ankles and sat
in a tub of...

Should i worry for her
if She holds a knife
but with crimson intent?
if She spreads velvet
of thick consistency
unto her loaf of bread,
but pauses with a shaking hand
tightening gripe around the butter
“harmless” silver?

DON'T MAKE ME TRASH


In your parched arid life you would like to drink
From chilled cans all kinds of enchanting liquid
With the pleasure of satiation you want to sink

Mates at loggerheads to blow the intensity
a spirited fight from determined hearts quite quarrelsome

“UNDERWATER CONTOURS”

Curves and contours testify
The mirror never tells a lie
Bathroom scale the confirmation
Body toning contemplation

Sub-aqua training fitness enhances
Submerged serenity with sparkling nuances
Gliding fulfilment and dissociation
Flooding the senses-- underwater salvation

Upward blue curves denting the side

wild wind whipping
trees bend and thrash
leaves rudely torn off
gardens trashed

blackening skies

dark cloud funnel
from the northwest,
veers as it wanders
at its...
