Fall Into the Void

came toppling down from the launch pad
of inert indecisions
Malfunction of a dilithium crystal heart ...

doomed to never takeoff from the start
Second stage of salvage effort

The Lost Flight of Hope
A spaceship called Hope... made from future's grand mist,
is perched upon a launch pad of manic chemicals, and loss.
With stun gun emotion, mother earth regurgitates.

Her metal finger meets the button...
she releases her...

Paradigm Thoughts
Difficult to parallel paradigms when
Their shifts are juxtaposed, but with
Gravitational references giving respect
To weightlessness and the weighted
Historical baggage of American racism,
Cosmic and terrestrial revelations
Become as enlightening as the stars.
The anti-gravitational pull
Of weightlessness in outer...

The Glass Basilisk
Denying the change,
Your lipstick clutched tightly,
But beware my dear those empty promises may leave you broken and deranged,
An erratic arousal from images of the high and mighty,
Worshiping an ivory tower existence complete with hollow halls...

Man On the Moon
If I could close my eyes and click my heels
and travel back in time,
I'd be at Apollo 11 Launch Pad,
on July 16 of 1969.
The original crew was only three,
but now there'll be one more.
We're...

The Herd
Waves pushed a torrent of power and might.
Against the tiny creature seemingly lost in the night.
With only the moon to navigate her path,
Little seahorse galloped—
Giddy up—giddy up—
Hungry suitors let her pass, tonight peace without wrath.
Hippocampus—was...

Blown Kisses Are Better: For Lindsey Buckingham, September 2003
Under the scorching spotlight sun,
this fan stands
fearing losing sight of a star.
Behind, watchers arm
themselves with binoculars.
Our eyes lock.
Lips prepare for
salty launch pad palms
depositing
lover's rockets.
Arms rise carefully.
Wrist rotate positioning
invisible spacecrafts
parallel to the earth.
Hot breath blasts
kisses flying,
floating...

Counting

As she plunked them in the pot.
When I exercise, I count each rep

And, of course, to count the change.
Counting sheep to...
