Collisions between yours truly and the missus

Space at a premium
in our apartment
lettered and numbered b44
at Highland Manor,
cuz the spouse
heavily trends toward disorderliness.

getting down to...

Just to talk
...with man

And possibilities began to arise
Everything permissible
Except that one, where man dies
...alone

Well, it happened
And really, not that bad, it seemed
Man lived and...

Villanelle: Wander not into a land where the indigene’s indolent

Amend them errant, wavy ways,
put a cease crease in those idol traditions
Don’t give servile salutes to the droopy god

What price will be paid

Wonderland magic waiting in awe to thaw

Pink blossoms ready to surpass hibernation

	Spring in their timeless steps

				Candle wax waned

The Little Drummer boy back in his box

Wrapped in kind tinsel for resurrection

	Illumination darkened

				Nutcrackers remain

Winter of revelations
Rationed sunlight
Daylight savings and economic depressions
Lost jobs, welfare schemes, divided families
Drugged teens, abusive deans, suicidal dreams


Mortgages, republicans, Obamanomics
Global villages, borrowed monies, bailout packages
School dropouts, Outsourced to India, Made in China
Yes you can, yes...

A shepherding consortium
Had shattered Mary’s’ dreams
The company contracted
