A Mom, Three Girls, Two Cigarettes, and a Sparrow

Harvest time was winding down, 
I was taking lunch in town, 
After spending six long hours plowing stubble.
Washing up I met a man, 
Guessed he was a harvest hand, 
His combine crew, he said,...

Magnificent Love In the Air

As I entered in unto my momma's house
Upon to which she dwelt
There's Such Magnificent Love within the air
So Enormous Peace... and Sweetness ever

Hunting the Nephilim, Part Iv

he just e-mailed them a resignation,
they gave their regrets, but they understood,
fifteen years was tough in this occupation.
He bought a small place outside Rapid City,
out in the broad prairie, for...

Desire, a hurtling horse on hire

Man, seldom a straightforward animal, 
Long lost in the deserts of weariness,
Wants to flee from a life of denial, 
Wallows no less still in piles of warm ash,
 
And feeling hurt, he nurses hidden strife,...

Lived a young man, Elliot McKay.

To the miners heading Klondike-way,
They made some good coin in a day.

Had an eye...

I've Got the Best

See them…
in the street light,
done up…
for a hot night,
made up….
like a French whore,
skin tight…
on a dance floor.

Their men keep coming,
the richest in town,
end up laying all
their money down.
Got no pity
for all of these clowns,
’cause I...

~ (~) ~ Heroin, Took My Mother ~ (~) ~ For This and All Our Christmases Missed ~ (~) ~

Time spells 
out a harsh 
reflection, 
sometimes.


Lifeless, pale... 
holes under your-
knees... on your ankles, 
up and down your arms.


Hate fills him now, oh, his-
rage, my Brother Ronnie, 
says, 

"It isn't so!"


Dad, He knows.


I have no...

The Moon and Her

a young girl, 
hair done up in braids.
I see a smile that could stop traffic on the streets.
I see her as the sun that shines 
behind the grey clouds on the horizion
of poverty and sorrow....

Airing It Out

Today’s winds acting tough 
Arguing with the ocean waves getting rough 
“What is this stuff?
Enough Enough!!” 
Man commented on the land 
About the natural fan 
“Would you chill? 
Doing this at will?” 
But the whirling...

Which is located in a beautiful velveteen square pink box.

Unattainable Forgotten Heart

When you felt yourself get close
You slammed your door shut
You didn't wanna take that chance - 'cause you thought you'd get cut
What I had done up until that point seemed never to be enough

Roar

Always young at heart and old in soul
never at ease in the linked up, stuck-up clichés
of childhood or the bizarre unfriendly world of adulthood,
I always roared…at five my boyfriend Dave was four.
He was a good...

Not Like That Surely

I watch women leave with assorted bodies, bulky purses, proudly displaying their newly-done up rainbow hair, blue streak hair, purple yarn hair, six braid in a bush hair, beaded, feathered and flowered hair.

A Little Girl I Did Not Know, For Whom I Mourned

Seven years old-
I learned about her Easter Sunday Night-
on the Channel 9 news.
It was to have been a very special Easter-
not that all Easters aren’t special-
to most children.
But this one was different-
not in the normal...
