Looking-Back Smile
We were chasing each other through the woods,
behind the old neighborhood
where your parents still live.

trying to catch up to your looking-back smile,
and then you disappeared into that opening

Eastern Front Anger
The tiled oven exploded smoke and debris was strewn

or desire.
Just for the voice of the humble Sunday rain;
watching every exquisite drop bubble and scatter across the sun-chiseled paint
of the window seal.
A vision as comfortable as...

The Vampire Monk, Part Iii

though I...

Rivalry's Children

Of artists whose praises we all sing.
Great minds there were in the Renaissance,
Through eons , unsurpassed, with little advance.
Greatness was embodied in the works of art,

Brainstorm
a diabolical grace ...
dark, deep, warm-black arms of
an endless night wrap me ...

forehead.

PALEO PAIR
PALEO PAIR
Hands rapturously

Bang !
Light released filter down
bats brushed skin to

the cave was nowhere
yet everywhere

Train of Thought
Am I dreaming
or have I dreamt myself awake
I can’t seem to discern
between real and fake
What’s right
What’s wrong
which direction

Am I reasonably responsible
for the many mistakes I might make
Backward bouncy...
