The Payload
"The Payload"
The payload

from the fat belly
of a ruinous pregnant cloud
bilious with buxom promise
it came crashing down
like school fish released
from the tight confines
of a course rope...

Blinks Through Bloodshot WalksWhen at five-thirty
In the rubbed-eye haziness
Of ferreting lonesome night walks
The camera-eye refugee
Asleep in the half wakefulness
Of the hour
Peers out of his high turbanned sockets:
Hyde Park's through road links
London's diurnally estranged couple -
The Arch and Gate.

The Giving Trees 1I
went
about
to pray
one day
to Jesus,
and as I
looked around
I gazed in my way
upon a place a ways,
afar, and so I could see
the generous gapes of
the giving trees, as so they
are. Nestled down between the
broken valley (of...

Girl At the CreekExciting walk; barefoot on warm rock while cold spring water
burbles past me. “Hey! over here.” she calls.
A puppet, my instinct guides me there again;
Creek ends in dark green pond. “Hi” I answer.
My body tingles...

Lost Love Deliria - Part 2 Part 2
4th Delirium: Lost Souls

squinting eyeballs, blazing sun
Janus facing, shepherds chasing.. stalking,

Broken stones unanchored, quaking.. rocking,

Master IllusionistThe world flaunts her stunning self,
gorgeous curves and all,
and the wide-eyed onlooker gapes at her,
drooling, intoxicated with love,
nose upturned slightly, drinking in
the fragrant smells emanating from
her direction,
roses and flowers, a blend,
sweet, with a slight...

And So It EndsShe’s crying
With indignant eyes
And a tumultuous heart
He’s sighing
With restrained thighs
And a perplexed start
It slams
With a thunderous noise
And a conspiring choice
Do I end this mess? –
Or give it a Holy redress?
She seems not to...

The Wind Is Isolde - Part 1The warden’s bewildered, the keeper’s amazed
as the gate gapes behind us, a hole in the haze.
Our steps seem uncertain, the cobblestones crazed,
pearly stars burn above us like pinwheels ablaze.
Though lanterns hang vacant in streets staring...

Sylvan Summer Part IiiThe cracker crisp Maine air
rang with the rooster’s revel.
Moving day, time to clean the hens shed.
Monstrous three story hatchery,
thousands of burnt umber; beauties a laying.
Lace edged bobby socks, red Keds, barrettes, T-shirt and short;

The Society We Live InCatcalls and rapes
Molesting all sizes and shapes
Broadcasted on TV, the recorded tapes
But blame is on the victim howsoever she drapes
Cause that’s how this society gapes
A man lies on the street, blood spilled all over
They...

sweeping the light away from every human...

Veins of a Bonfireand for our fifth anniversary, wood;
at that age love’s roots are hopeful, flexible,
damp: feeling fresh earth with fingers

My memories are rings of bark in rotation,
aging and looping nostalgic...

The Black SheepIt's a cold dark objective fear.
His face loose folds of jowls,
a sagging half squinted eyelid
and a lopsided woeful expression,
that hides cunning manipulation and brutality.
It's a rancid stench of flies
and faecal matter and musty mothballs,
that...

A Tomb of An Ancient BloomYou look at me and see a northeast highway after winter
Cracked, worn, roughened by conditions not meant to be endured.
