The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes
I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles
ghostwriting...

Populist PoliticsWhen I was sixteen
I wanted Robert Kennedy's life,
although I didn't know about his time squandered
in staffing McCarthyism's
Make America as Grotesque as Possible campaign,
Which would have given me pause
in that comparatively naive age
of green longing for...

so I simply stood there observing his silence.

Sometimes People ShareSometimes pandemic people share
pieces of our unspeakable personal story
That no health care worker,
sex therapist player,
or green resonant systems organizer

much less smell,
or touch,
or deeply feel...

dissociation,
to protect myself
from suicide

and dabs his face removing the blood that

Blue blood bleeds Red

Fear of LaddersOne time, when I was about
eight or nine,
Poppa climbed up onto the roof.
He was fixing something
(I don't remember what)
but he called me up.
He wanted me to see
the sunset
uninterrupted by the houses
and trees of...

The Boy WithinThe small boy falls and hurts his elbow and knees,
and cries quietly on the inside,
because there is no one there to feel his pain,
or give him comfort,
for the small boy is 86 years old.

How did I get here(writing for the voice of my son who has terminal illness)
Reality is searingly intimate. But they say anguish,
woes and sadness are emotions best shared.

What's behind the sparkle in your eyes
Is it tears?
Fears?
The laughter
The craziness and banter
The fun weirdness
The mere queerness
A wall you put up to the worlds eyes
