and then on to the ultimate prize.
I never once...

Dirge of the Last Lap
I
The loud, cruel laughter of dirge
besieges us so greatly in the face of
wanton humiliation.
It comes mightily, crashing our aged
city walls, unearthing the foundations of
churches,
tolling bells in pulsated grief . . .
Dirge comes with thunder,
like the...

Fairytale Endings
A rainbow stallion
hailed, as if a cab.
I laid a hundred bucks
under his leather saddle.
I stepped into the stirrups,
then whipped onto
his primeval back.
I’d been expecting him.
An adventure I’d been told…
I knew nothing of how to ride
and...

Sell You Lure
He always knew

The deal was done,
the negotiation was won
Sometimes winning meant a compromise
