to seduce you with her ankles' nakedness!

ReturnA fine mist of rain falls silent
on his thin, sharp-angled face.
He picks up the pace and tilts
his head to the wind. He walks
through the plundered slumber
of crumbled poverty, abandoned,...

Chiaroscuro ChoreographyA light mist of ethereous rain falls
silent on his thin, sharp-angled
face. He lengthens his stride and
leans toward the wind. He walks
through plundered poverty; crumbled
by the weight of exodus. Abandoned
to the blood-rough nails...

Feather In the SkyYesterday as the sun was rising on our walk…what should catch our eye….but one humongous…elongated white feather…stretching across the sky.
Our weatherman is quick to inform us…that it’s a cirrus cloud and in it we will...

I Stand Amidst
To dwell among the ruins;
littered with broken bottles and flattened plastic cups,
stamped out cigarette butts
Cast off lottery binges,
crushed ghetto dreams and empty syringes
Poisoned by so many stings of inequality
Flickering opportunities ...
shed your skin, and perhaps...

168 Empty Chairs
On the morning of April 19, 1995,
Terror was heard through the Oklahoma sky.
At 9:02 A.M. the explosion did occur,
And the blue common day turned into a blur.
A memorial was built to...

Robbing the NestI had survived how many summers? Five?
Six? 'til, self-taught, I learned at last
of terror that lurks in situations
which those I trust (myself included)
would swear offer only perfect safety...
My ball rolled under my Grandma's house

A Spoonful of SnowWe scratched and scrapped and piled it together,
thin as cobwebs, like molted bird feathers,
spread out on the frozen lawn,
a gossamer frosting in early dawn,
a meager, stingy December snow,
hardly enough to foster a glow
from the Christmas...

Raw Data
Waxy fear melting in the dark
drips red
Candlelight vigils in the night
mournfully grow,
as more guns control
empty barrel trigger fingers
Making it hard to keep count
of the dotted map splatter
Crimson tears shed on the ground
leaves a trail...

Vignettes In Snowsublime quilt
of dormant shimmers
in lethargic winter sunshine
stretched on shivering earth
as finger caresses of peace.
turning variegated world
into a room filled
with feathers floating from
bursting womb
of sailing pillows on azure.
pouring wisps of manna
from chalices in heavens,
falling through...

this bird no longer sings.
forgotten are the days of intoxicating flight,
replaced with fears of another fight.

Neap TideNow, life has almost passed us by,
and peaceful resignation reigns;
the beach, a spawning ground of old,
shrieks mournfully in sea gull tones.
The neap tide’s come to lull the shore;
crab moltings own the water’s edge.
Forewarned, am I,...

Autumn Leavestangerine splashes
scrolls in scarlet,
on shriveled bosoms
of muted flutters
rustling in whispers
of arid harmonies.
molted dreams
of boughs denuded
of verdant skin,
heaped in versicolor
as confetti for
whimsical draught.
jaundiced wasps,
crickets in rapture
lost in sonorous tirade
drown symphonies
from spring's meads,
and silence of fall
echoes in...

Reflective SpringLet clocks unlock unbroken birds they bind:
Too quick in May they peek Azalea’s bloom;
Wide eyes enlightened bound by darkness blind,
And spring reflected bares a thinning plume:
Like pearls of April nestled smooth and deep,
Those dizzy doves...

has changed our nations history
and why they shot him in his head
became a shrouded mystery

no suspects were exposed
and every answer that was spoke
more questions they arose

Spring's In the AirWinter's winking wearily in the sun
gracefully giving ground
knowing Spring will never run
Muted, molted, monochromatic colors turn
vibrant, vivacious, victoriously
welcoming the return
Soft, subtle scents in the air
lilacs lovingly linger
in the tresses of my hair
Pink petals purling to...

Seventh: the Dalliance Is EphemeralThe dust stand in devoted pair
with stare towards the brush and it's fare
devotion despairs
the dust sighs
the brush forfeits
they surrender
Alas all but in an instant
so is no victory reaped
so is earning molted from the tears...

AflameTonight, the horizon burns like metal
Molted and shot from a mouth of fire
The trees stand scorched, coal-chalked pictures
In the sky hangs a fleeting smile
Molted and shot, from a mouth of fire...
