You’re the ouija board to my spirits of the past,
You keep...

How usurping, how intact
the problem rising from my lack
the power line cord's react
chewed or lightning hit, blew stack!

Installed in '70's, contract

with lightning striking, breaker blew
the meter gauging it snapped too!

My simple...

Success smells like pastures with cows...

Not spoken directly to you until now.
I do apologize because I owe you a few  ...

Do the work then reflect it in actions
then sit in peace and dissect the fractions
to make them...

Promise me your hands will reach out
Resilient attachment starts in childhood
When the brain has colic outside the womb
A mother’s unconditional love soothes worries
When a birthday missed slices the cord
Like two neurons missing a connection

A HUNGER UNFED

I now demand retribution, at least recompense
It’s like a pain in my stomach, a hunger unfed
Get the fullest apology for all that’s been said
When first shared online, it made me see red
Those nasty...

A year filled with loneliness passed,
Another began the same way unsurpassed,
Then a spark sparked at long last,
But the wind kept gnawing at the ships’ mast. 

The sailing resumed terrible for this heart of mine,
Proud forlorn...

A songbird dances on a power line;?
a man in white at a market square
sings, swings, ears to a distant drum—?
a tuneful hum from a frenetic world.

Peace beams out of a warm face—
?beauty of a world...

I travel through the mind of those
But, especially, that mind.
That head of desperate wonder is swaying from side to side like neighborhood, 
power-line shoes.
A heart breaking harder than elementary-school rules.
Excited depression is what my nostrils...

Vivid imagination spins,
when one creates
a fine literary work...
life would never be happier.


When one creates,
ideas keep on flowing...
life would never be happier
with thoughts swifter than light.

Ideas keep on flowing
like water from a waterfall
with thoughts swifter than...

Birds roosting on the power line,
Squirrel can’t cross but he’s trying.

That’s his regular run across this road,
Back to his home with his acorn load.

Squirrel’s always in a hurry it’s seeming,
No time for their gabbing and...

Nature makes its own decisions
It decides who lives or dies
Like the hunger of a common bluebird
Who's driven by her baby's cries

Now even the housefly will do the same
Driven by its hunger, they seek
Trying its best...

Just to see what I might run into
I will ride the trail to the end
Then turn around and ride back again
It is a pleasant ride around the place

All around me
Cars driving forms entranced
Their glazed eyes suited for the waiting day
My own sequined senses, faithfully harnessed
Travel
Inside my car
35 miles to empty, 53 degrees
 
Press seek and jump from mindless chatter
To scars singing familiar...

It 's springtime in the air
Flowers are popping up everywhere
Nature is waking
From winter's hibernation
Rivers are flowing

Is going
This knowing, I rejoice!
Birds are returning
What a welcome sign
They sing a chorus
On the...
