I know you’re happy,
Guess I’m stuck bein’ me,
Guess I stay missin’ out on chances that I couldn’t see.

Its midnight,
And it’s settling in.
I’ve been home
Just a few hours.
Comfortable in my home,
At ease with my hobbies.
But then I feel it.
It starts with a tingling,
All over; inescapable.
But then its gone.
Like it was never even there.
And...

Things move indistinctly: a pine palette floats
momentarily from semi truck’s bed, crosses
its body with windshield; ovidian shift from a
Forest to an...

somber thoughts in disarray
broken moments of a jaded day
under siege of firing brigades
the bed you lay in is the bed you made
tattered talons from battles fought
a mind full of colorful forgetmenots
fragmented pieces of what...

Ah Consuela! Invoking vast vistas for visions of green Spanish eyes,
I discern them again where she left me back then,
as we kissed when she parted, my friend.

Rule of Threes
Health of a nation
See the old and young station

Breeze moves the tree leaves
But turned to gusts the tree heaves
The wise man perceives

If you could lie to me,
And tell me one last promise we both know you...

he saw...
