Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather

The regressive Supreme Court decision
hustled, proclaimed, and voiced
June 24th, 2022

The mat that once read 'welcome'...now gone. 
Am I lost in the night, or had I forgotten some slight..

in your valley
made of three warm words from starry dark,

Brimming with youth,
with lips full,
eyes in bashful droop,
she was tall,
and eyes stared,
open and wide,
as she walked in an open hall,
she gyrated maddeningly,

I dream of myself with dark,
ribboned braids, being just seven.
And swinging my tanned legs as

cheek in heaven.

Oh to be seven again!

as I sit amongst the blue,
with the hours turning slowly
and the only thought is you..

Darling, your little lamb dressed naughtily in lace
lies here languishing endlessly on satin sheets,
with loosened locks spread upon a silken pillow case.

I sail into a day-dream land where I think of what I miss:

At that moment,
My soul fractured,
Recognizing my broken self seared my senses,

Healing will come not from wishing away the cracks,
But accepting the pieces with the cracks as my new...

Time laughs as she looks luminously red
In my longish love-pot looking gorgeous
Rich nature has so fondly invested
Her with marine beauty so infectious

At morning she beautified my garden
With her softly reassuring pink grace 
At noon my...
