The Careful Dissemination of Funds
I hear their idle chatter and wish that sound was optional.
A box checked in a menu, a simple click and forget.
The rapid dilation of my pupils brings me back.
Back to hypnotic aisles of temptation and...

To the Lifegiver
You’ve given me another year
365 blank pages
To fill up
I know that your ultimate desire
Is for me to fill them in ways
That are according to your will
And that bring you joy
And that make your divine face
Break...

Bigfoot's Ancient Great Granddaddy
Who is Bigfoot’s Great-grand Daddy?
Whether living in a city or on the mountain side,
People from the world around astound us with their views.
He’s nine-feet tall, a hairy thing, uprightly he flees astride.
Only tracks are left...

Red, 1965
He entered the dark house
through the unlocked kitchen door,
his house until the separation,
found his way
down the dark hallway
to the bedroom,

the door slightly open to

Assassination of a Dream
One in many tens,
She reaches the Moon,
The Moon is conspicuous,
It palpates the Sun.
An unwritten thaumaturgy,
You wonder her crime
She quivers in melancholy,
Crimson puddle of dreams & reality,
Why some colors never mix?
Pressed against the wall,
Beneath the invisible...

My Landlady
Among a stone-wreathed, sun-fried declivity
On earth’s raised stomach, a shack. Common
With the nervousness of heat, such shack-up
Points bury their heads in shame forever...
School hours brought me to such beginnings,
Such introductions, transient and loosely
Translated into vulgar...

Frustration of An Exhausted Poet
I've tried to make words rhyme at the end of their stanzas,

so rhyme didn't agree with Iambic...
