Facing Poverty
If I went barefoot for a lifetime,
shoes would be pointless.
Toes ate board, concrete, grassland, shoreline.
Me, Tarzan to pedicurist!

Think Spring
Now, unlike my usually trenchant literary librettos, i regale the unknown (tum me) reader for savoir faire articulation, elocution, and indomitable tour de force proffered by spectrum of bounteous expropriated hegemony rightful to Mother Nature....

The Sinking Ship of Negativity
It's disappearing like buffalo across the vast plains...
familiarity has become distorted, both sour and rank.
There's an abandoning of the ship of negativity,
bringing grief far worse than nine months of labor.
It's given cause for an...

The Farmer's Boy and the Purple Egg
A farmer's son was once tending to his mother's hens,
Collecting their eggs to sell,
At his family's road-side market stand when,
He found a purple egg with a rotten smell.
The boy looked around at all the...

Moonstruck
Moonstruck
Many moons and seasons ago my five children
inquired where I was heading to on my journey
I replied ‘to the moon’ and to how to get there
‘with a ladder’ to astonished faithful suspense
Turned downsize up and...

Faraway Footsteps
Faraway Footsteps
How present
This past
Called memory
Hollow sole dragging
Hobnail boots
Caked with crud
Mud
And oil
Atop the landing
"Drop them greasy clothes"
Came the sometimes loving voice
The sometimes malevolent voice
But always his wife's warning
My mother's caring way
So many years past
When linoleum's impoverished...

The Soup Kitchen
The Soup Kitchen
She made soup that kept the whole town warm
One by one they’d line up and request their usual
The soup experience was mid-way
Between pleasure and torture
As the limits of the taste-buds and...

Last Laugh
Last Laugh

Petrified slaves
Worshiping stars
Nobles and knaves
Uncaged in the dark
Gallantly fought
Gamely defended
Quietly wrought
Uproaringly rendered
Hearken to clues
Enriddled in rhyme
Ladled from pews
Instinctively mimed
Fault the accursed
Who spun the foul thread
When empty the purse
Faith's soothsayers fled
Displaying naught
But...

Dulcis Poetas
the headiness of now
swirl of keystroke and ideal
new pages
new thoughts
flying on ether
buoyed by excited neutrons
flared by the plasma
of a thousand faceless pens
type it
spill it
splash it on out with a careless eye
falling slow on burning diodes
bundled...

Love Letter From the Soul Xlviii
P,
A little wine and a curious mind
go a long long way
the words can take you only so far
dig deep, deep, deep, deep
into the wishing wells
and the reflections in the bathroom mirrors
in the kindling next...

Fair Land Lost
Are you the one that blocked the sun?
That fired the bullet from the gun
That laughed aloud at what you’d done
To this fair land that cash built
That sat on high upon your throne
Surveying what you bought...

Drifting Aimlessly
Drifting aimlessly
I have sipped the ladled blades
in this cold chicken soup
Set upon a table of just deserts
on the far end of the horizon
Spoon fed disappointments
staining a multi-colored tie,
hated for what it’s...

The Irony of Fate
In a moment of juvenile jealousy
he envies his red rival
with its intimate and greedy embrace of her angels’ share
of honey and vanilla spice
as wet stretchy hands of fervent fabric
possessively cup
her brandied beauty

Celebrating 50:Xxi
It was two ways to go
And two ways we went
The tears they wrung from us
Until gape the cracked faith wide
The blood we surrenderd to the dust
War is a battle between opposing sides
A contention of beliefs

youth, where imperfections trip upon each other
and opportunistic peers joyfully celebrate the folly

and - a spun bottle breaks blood brotherhoods
where fragile crevices expose truths and
welcome untested kinships to fill...

Resettled
Jostled from slumber
in delicate mind
forces my padding
to probe and inquire
until startled smiles
appear behind clouds
busy in duty
to nourish with play
while I ample up
the perilous chair
to teeter clumsy
without studied grace.
Eggs split vital gel
on cushions of paste
gilded in...

The Evening Visitor
I’m glad that you did not forget the date,
My friend. Pull shut the wooden garden gate
And walk along the pathway paved with slate
Up to the house now, it is getting late.
I lit a crackling fire...

The Old Ship-Wright
The Old Ship-Wright
I’ve held the stars in the palm of my hand
And ladled the sunrise where no man has been
I’ve forged my anchors from hellish fires
And planed fine teakwood that served the Queen’s tea
But now...
