Watching her board bathed in fog at the station
Spectacles slide down the bridge of his nose
Usually a blur, not in this situation
Smudges can’t hide every beauty she shows

Lugging a satchel in high heels and cotton

Ever present
Is the feeling of isolation
In this midnight city of mass millions
You admit, you have pride
You can stand independently
With confidence
Dancing in the light
But you have to admit
You detest it as well
Who ever wants to be...

As Miss Luby watches from her window
a moving van backs up
the driveway across the street

BEEP!  BEEP!  BEEP!  BEEP!

its warning cry has a beacon-like effect
on the neighborhood
arousing interest from all corners
everything suddenly shaken...

whereby his eloquence usually finds me agog.

Past psychological development
describes zigzagging mama's yoyo
casually, aye publicize, (asper

unpleasant memories indelibly
etched, jagged, scar outlined like ticktacktoe
solitary games invariable resultant

Today, it is a sunny Thursday morning in April, and my body

bitter about it because in this very moment in time,
I am still...

In a hunt I the werewolf stalk this vampire,
Pre-dawn obscurity with severe mist and cold,
Just in time to observe this nimble stealthy vampire;
Moving from the human graveyard fully exposed.

Dark feline shadow figure watchful eyes sparkling,...

The heat built up on our walkabout, 
And ol’ sol put me into distress. 
With no chance of seeing anyone on this route

From lugging heavy boxes in a distribution place,
To taking pinewood coffins to a so called place of grace.

To eating currant buns and drinking nice hot...

Yesterday I found myself slumped
into the saddest of trenches,
for no particular reason
other than a new moon cycle.
Instead of flopping myself
in my studio’s armchair to write,
I drove to the mall for an outing 
probably more expensive...

Have you ever noticed how
Christmas never completely fades
there are reminders with us
through out all of the year

Just enough of a sense of spirit

Busy little bees buzzing,
Circling round
Dandelions, daisies, and
Early meadow rue, wild-

Juices of fragrance
Keeping us busy
Lugging it all back to
Mommy in the beehive.
Nice that the wildflowers...
