Protruding from new fallen rock, where fossil hunters play
And casting long its shadow, as the night gives way to day

Perhaps an isolated find… most likely...

Versatile Vapourisation
Mountains mourn a mildew. Such a deity of prowess. What a cumbersome lot those pickles. And oh look there, a pretty formation of moths in a tree. Thunderbeds are ghosts. And who would count the...

Nightmare Disposal
There are skeletons in the wardrobe but they’re home and dry
Looked after properly moth balled and yet unkindly falling apart
Conscience is layered just as are subconscious wishes and fears
Sometimes I play with the bones and...

Pain Doesn'T Determine Who You Are
When I was a little girl,
I went through the most traumatic experience of my life.

Remembering Vlad
I first glanced at you
Quietly looking away
I'll never hold you
My selfish declaration
I'm not that strong
Weaker than I perceived you were
Seeing you behind those tiny bars
Unable to lift your head from
That stained mattress
They said...

Mind's Chaos
I'm scared and riddled with insecurities being thrown at me by an unknown hand above.
I cut you open and instinctively say I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but I'm scared because I did.
I knew exactly...

Hunter/Gatherer
driving through streets of angst and apathy
driving to the place where I can actualize my desire
to eat a 12 piece bucket of chicken hunks
smiling at the coo-koo bird with tits exposed
the paper words speaking in...

Theory In Crisis: Ii
If function is king, then there aren’t any Types,
but the living show us that’s simply not true.
The class tree is ordered according to forms
and not by the functions a critter can do.
So here’s a conundrum...

Memories
I used to pass an empty house
On my way home from school
I was only ten years old then
I heard that older people lived
There
But I never saw them.
Found old photos
Showed them to Dad

Kevo
depression in the other pillow is deep
your head

i wish you’d be there when my hamster dies
my heart

your eye
invisible from fold line
i lay out my...

A Body of Work
"Be very still", the voice said
"I'll get the nails from between your toes".
"He still breathes", another voice.
A gentle move,
a hand laid at my back,
another at my neck.
"We are your...

But here are a few for your edification
In case you missed ‘em in your education
Tibia, fibia, femur, and sternum
Are four of the...

The House Eaters
1.
My grapefruit tanned
toothpicks
bow above
the five-day flattened
spot
in an olive shag carpet
tracing grandpa Leo's
blueprint,
with one encapsulated
toe –
this is the femur, this is
the head,
this is the fist, the ring
finger, the soul.
I search for any blunt
white quivering slivers

("Eye of Storm", original encaustic, 2017)
Epiphany
I’ve had two major epiphanies in my life,

His Right Leg
A ticket pinned to the thigh reserves it,
the whole cadaver is parceled off - of course.
Legs are a late harvest, these often-indigent parts
carry a visual poverty long after the body is plucked.
Under watchful eyes the...

Holding Back Tears
It's nine years in a row of continuous crisis
lost in the wilderness of a dry Oasis
on all long bones is the constant emphasis
for a condition which began as Tuberculosis.

The Skeletal Poem
The human skeleton,
is made up of 206 bones
By jove, they are hard,
as if made of stones!
The brain you think with
is in the Skull or Cranium,
the Maxilla and the Mandible
are for chewing bubble gum.
It's atop the...

Angels
by digital light
they hovered and poured pure hate
down over my bed
hung the advisors
selling sammy’s letter to
a christian nation
of gods and portals
opened when I closed the book
and peeked into worlds
a hair’s width away
from my face...

One Tired Torso
One Tired Torso
One tired torso stands and sits,
reeling from its aching hips.
The lumbar vertebrae are all but gone,
with femur bones that are old and worn.
A pelvis full that bore two baby girls,
is now a barren...

Mass Graves
There isn't a mass grave in my neighborhood
a creek has never flooded
(there is no creek, after all)
and bones have not surfaced.
A bulldozer never grinds to a halt
stayed by a smiling white skull.
The driver doesn’t jump...

Joey Contemplates a Skeleton
Joey Contemplating a Skeleton

The teacher told Joey to learn each bone by name
And that there were only about 206 of the same
The parietal, temporal and occipital are in the head
At least that’s what...
