Of old conversation left hanging in the window
Of an empty house

You laughing from stern to bow
Your wine glass amazing pirouettes

“Dreams Coercing Memory” 

You want cherries jubilee
with a little Krug champagne
but soft custard is just the same
when reality plays its game
by the spoonful
morphine comes 
to save the day

the light changes 
subtle refractions 
of dreams coercing
memory

Perhaps Different 

Better are the days spent with desire
The Worst are days spent to be sad.
Blessed are the days of victory,
Cursed are the times of anger.
Chasing whatever gain behind sweat,
I feel like sitting down.

Lady,
Your empire is turning gray
The sun is about to set
Your children are falling away
Around us creep a new death
Of familiar beliefs, and truth
The worm suckles at your root

Leaves fall like...

All alone again

Memories flood my mind

Whose reality? She asked. Wondering if there had been a consensus.
Feeling left out by the cousins. 
No one could answer this.
Ah, she thought. 
Instantly figuring the instigator.

Not my reality, she said. The room was silent.
Boy...

Beyond life's span how might we be?
Where would eternal life be found?

WICKED DEATH

Death summons people 
to his house everyday.
The house of no return.
As we gnash our teeth 
in pain,
The wicked palace
