she claimed their lies and vicious tales,
she pled not guilty and moaned...

Reticence‘tap, tap, tap’
your petite knuckles
gently attacking my door -
I envision their French-painted nails
dancing in the shine of
the hallway light
like a row of bishops bowing to the Pope
(your sensual sacrilege)
I don’t make a sound
though my eye...

There was an exquisite car in the driveway
I walked up to the grand entryway
Rang his doorbell
The chimes sounded like cathedral bells
He greeted me with a practiced smile
Welcomed me to...

Failed Garden of GodThe first cut
of roses
are in bloom
and I will
see them soon,
very soon.
They float
in a bowl
of Arctic ice-flow;
regarded highly
by the local Wal-Mart
feng shui
masters.
Made to...

Diner CultureI step from my car and I see ahead
the shiny glint of smooth, polished chrome,
the place is shaped like an oversized rail car,
but never on the tracks has it roamed.
I walk on into the small...

Section OchoSection Ocho
Sylvia loved her 2 bedroom apartment.
She finally found a decent place
Well besides the rodents
And the 4 flights she treks
That dim hallway
Smelling of mold
And tattered souls
Knock, Knock, Knock
She opens the steel door
Resembling a...

Boundless DevotionFrom water to soil, we continued.
All that I've at any spot known has been rottenness.

Kaufman FactoryThe old Kaufman footwear factory
with it's grand entryway
Marble floors
Granite counters
Important people use to walk it's halls
Pictures of the founders had lined the walls
Intimidating, dressed in three piece suits
holding somber expressions
masters of a previous time
I walk...

Compensatory IllusionsA hierarchy of antecedents
an inverted pyramid or
joy that precedes heart break
and well wishes
tears that cascade after facts
and unchecked plane tickets
sentiments divulged, rearranged, displayed
like an Muslim at inquisition
Scientist's solution burning
on a Bunson burn
making sense of what...

A Mother's JobShe built her nest of straw and mud,
anchored to the rocks on our entryway.
Through the glass in the front door,
we watched her as she sat up there
on her eggs, allowing babies to grow.
After they hatched,...

The Nazi and the Aristocrat - 1930's London Pt. 1One day I heard a knock
Or more a rapid tap upon my door.
It brought me not acute alarm,
For it was noonday by the clock
And noontime rarely brings one harm,
So with...

Happy Labor DayWhether the work-load is manual or high-tech exercises;
Whether it taxes our brain, leaving us without answers;
Or dirties our entire body with dirt, dust, and grease;
Whether the tasks stress our emotions to the max:
Or compel...

Nobody's HomeSlender, whispering and flaming fireweed surrounds
the gray-weathered clapboards of the deserted
homestead whose torn gingham curtains blow among
the paneless windows with the gentle breeze of
summer morning.
Silence is challenged by harmonizing birds
who serenade the observer of the...

Exploration In Our DreamsDreams, an entryway to celestial exploration
Out of body we penetrate through meditation
The subconscious rises to visit lost loved ones
With star smiles that through seams of heaven run
Ladies squander lifetimes hoping for a ring

A Walk In the ForestIt is amazing what I see
On a walk in the forest near the end of spring.
I saw two big trees joined together in the

Philodendrons that were sitting on an eave

To the Kindest SoulWhen early rose the sun,
came first steps and a smile.

to give and never tire.

we're building on their dreams,
not just a door of wood,
an entryway to...

Thirteen Cracks In the MirrorTHIRTEEN CRACKS IN THE MIRROR

crushed velvet hides the splintered wood, that stabs thirteen times.

Front DoorVisit a place where you’ve not been before
And the first thing you face is the sturdy front door.
