I do from time to time

She took some care making her choice
A Valentine's Day card
It is a silly little thing
"It shouldn't be this hard"

Her skin is textured fabric
and a lovely pair of…odd eyes of ink
 black and sheen green.
Cherry cheeks, heavy-handed
 for his amusement.

Lips sewn to silence
just the way he likes her.
Living only through him

Icicles hang on the edges
Silence creeping into the conversation
Revealing the boredom of this skirt

Ebony haven of owl and coyote

When "oppressive"
becomes synonymous with "government"
and when "government"
becomes synonymous with "bureaucracy"

Then "oppressive government bureaucracy"
sounds like a redundant bad-boy platitude,
ungrateful anthro-
elitist attitude,
absence of relationships

peace mindfull 
gratitude.

Silence swells the whispers
Snow, breathless… caressing the earth
Gentling the scene in echoes 
Serenity dancing in flurries, a blizzard
Whirling and twirling, delicious
Praises, psalms, prayers
Winter’s faded march through

Promising hope...

The woman lying on the hospital bed
Silent, intuition discerning
The last breath, last sigh, goodbye

Her fingers were running smoothly through the sand

A GIFT

You've given me
a piece of your soul
inside a sunken brown envelope
written handle with care
as if I was born heavy-handed.

You've telescoped
my soul once more
in its caravan
on a mountain slope
stooped by a bulky backpack.

It's good you've...

He’s a broken leg performer with a crooked second act.
Went from Brooklyn to Las Vegas with his sarcasm intact.

I scream, at the top of my lungs
No sound, comes out
Silent, curdling screams

All the ring girls looking sweet.

astronomical anatomical atoms
buying brilliant blubbery bimbo blobs
collecting claustrophobic colorized clandescently clams
depicting deplorable dependable depraved dendrites
enticing and enlisting energetic enthusiastic enigmas
finally fueling fussy frisky flatulence, forming fleece finders
giving gluttonous glorious gargoyles grinning grace
holding heavy-handed hospital heathens
Ignoring...

When things out of your control
