which lights beyond dark hills might stall, advance,
then lurch into strange headbeams tilted up
like searchlights seeking contact in the distance . . .

Quiescent unions...

Her pastor - reverend Bishop - and a “tacky looking woman” we’re spotted leaving...

Once again I tip the scale
And mutter, whoever invented it was a man from hell.
It was not a woman who created weights for size
For women can look past the outer shell
And search deep for what...

I'm named Delysia (sic) Patricia. This poem was 
inspired by Chris De Burgh's "Stripper" song.

without dispute
had a penchant her wares to lay bare

Not since I was ten years old, as far as I remember, 
has any woman turned my head ‘cause most the ones I’d meet 
Were down...

...McClors rode up, and smiled quite thin,
He said,”Woman, get away from him!
You come with me now, and it will suffice.

Dearly Beloved; and you too Earl,
We have all gathered here together,
In everyone’s favorite bingo church,
To hitch these young-uns up forever!

Let me hear you all say yea-ya!
Luke here has finally gotten wise;

mother, and buried within the origin pit, dark

Oh you know the type—
the orchid woman

a cosmopolitan who cosmo sips
between snips of gist
her charisma a starship —collides

supernova for Casanova
her pouty lips knit a magazine smile
rows of sugar-white pearls
strung shiny straight
behind wet-red...

Miriam O’Flynn worked as a fancy lady,
That was not what she had once planned to be.
Orphaned in a crash, at the young age of nine
She learned to do what she must to survive.

She plied her...

“If no one will help, I soon will be dead.

With no toilet seats carelessly left propped up
Oh, now I can be such a comfortable pup
Please take your Playboys straight out that open door

WHO SPEAK TO ME AS FREIND BEHIND THE BUSHES

Freddy was a man in love with his wife,
she’d been his six years to the day,
when word came that his firm was downsizing
and Fred’s sweet lawyer-job went away.

At first she smiled, and comforted him,
saying she’d...

canned love with a cadaver expiration date

I'M THE BEST THING GOING
TAKE TIME TO LOVE ME
THEN YOU'LL BE IN...

On a runup to the past,
lightning lies are striking fast
Speak a little Fuhrer con,
Dollar sanction appease a wannabe Stalin
In the Big Ivory House,

But the Constitution’s first wife ain’t:

big bloomer free...

In the form of a Christmas Letter stating that all is hunky-dory.
I received one the other day in which they told the honest truth,
And I'll...
