She now has no possessions, neither home,
But travels to a distant, unknown land:
Once so secure, yet now compelled to roam;
Once...

Grazing the Garden
I retired a couple years ago
and decided to take a gardening class
because otherwise I probably would starve
even with food stamps,
given my retirement plan
was mainly to live off my still-freeloading adult perpetual-children.
This gardening class cost more...

March fell against you
Like a cockatoo.
Leaned and ignited,
A burning chorus

As before it began,
In silence.
Vast and internal.
The night stretches
Abandoned arms of
Battered silence
Across your great light.
I remember your light
Under the...

of not-so-rusted lust
sixty-something-shapely...

Breathe in, breathe out, start typing
Back straight, shoulders down. Straighten the computer. Stop staring at the purple walls.

Ideals across heads like grains of sand
Sprinkle little rays of brightness
Into cups full of vanilla ice-cream
If the sun doesn’t sparkle
Then there is no one to blame
But one’s own...

I'd take handfuls of all these silly bits of
