nice guy, to a fault I

Slinger
Waiting on the day
for the Swallow to transmute the air
between this ether and yours 
patterned after an annual bedsheet 
and full of a chest
swelling with blood
and a face 
as forgotten as chests 
buried beneath sea...

west
to our
nearest 
grocery 
store or
convenient 
store
with our
common
human
thirst
coming 
from the
daily 
grind, yet
our own
exertion
here is 
absolutely
nothing 
like that of
the people
in the lands
far far away,
whose 
resources we
have become
experts
at squeezing
every last drop
into...

In our backyard five apple trees abide - harvest of red, yellow, green fruit our pride
Bushels of fruit overflow from their baskets - looks like nature this year blew a gasket.

Way too many apples for...

If I were the only person left in the world
Besides you, of course, I am wondering,
Do you think we would be able to get along?
Or would you insist I adopt your way of thinking?
Could we...

My husband and I have a perfect routine
In the stay-at-home days caused by Covid-19.
Our apartment’s not big – bedroom, kitchen and bath
And a living room – 3 and ½. (Do the math.)

We alternate times in...

Call girl of Thulhu? 
I smiled at the voice at the end of the phone.
Not been in action for many years, but had a keenness for a kill.
Sure is, I said in my youngest voice....

If you pull on her leg slightly lifting her skirt;
She’ll consistently remind you that you could get hurt.

Such a good thought
genuine smile
counterfeit, I know
solid inward being
loaded up with expectations
envisions another world

my sought motions came true
astonishing and unnerving event

and a peaceful...

Milk-em twice a day and feed the hungry sows
Make your mother butter in...
