The Hen House
Cooped within ancient bodies, this inhabitant
dwells amongst an elder net
of crabby, crotchety, curmudgeonly claque
of old folks, only a portion of population I met
which achey, flaky, kooky motley crue
disgruntlement fed as peevish...

The Nuances of Daily Life
I miss the nuances of daily life
while weeks are frozen in this quarantine.
I miss the lost normalcy of my days
in all aspects, obvious and unseen.
I miss turning my head to read the spines
of the novels...

Feeling very trapped
Dungeon canary getting ready to be zapped

Building a winning case
In a better place
Riding in a vehicle to transfer

Defining Truth Defies Das Democratic Thinker In the Age of Trump
"FAKE" assertions unstoppably
bandied with beef,
(sans doughty deeds done dirt cheap)
courtesy of commander in chief
trumpeted as a way to backout,
embarrassment analogous to the thief
of Baghdad, when culpable faux pas
woe philly pops thought balloon of mine
reckons with...

Sharing Dad
Dad was puttering around today
Playing with me
God we haven’t played in years
You know, Dad’s eighty now

I remember the twinkle in his eyes
at my sons two year...

Lies
Bring all of humanity to it's knees
begging on your whim, your mercy;
Then judge it.
Your cold, quivering, cracking lips
quipping tips to the
wicked; to the rich.
Whilst knock-kneed choking
broken backed masses
lay on the floor:
These are...

Mister Stanley
Mr. Stanley died today.
His nurse had been puttering around
in his room,
straightening his bed clothes,
taking his vital signs.
He decided to let her have one more go at it.
“Mr. Stanley,” she would say,
“Your blood pressure is a...

Curled In Grandmother's Arms
As I lay curled in grandmother’s arms;
dreaming intently of butterflies fluttering.
Scented fields bestowing pungent charms;
where I envision honey bee wings a puttering.
Dreaming intently of butterflies fluttering;
weaving amid long blades of green grass.
Where I envision...

My Hopeful Heart From My Deathbed
I lay in this bed, puttering close to death
Wonder when I shall draw my last breath
A long and great life it certainly has been

Grinning at memories...

Puttering In the Mind
Today I thought of thought itself,
of all its joys and failings
to be sure, but mostly of the
wonder that they take me to,
the countless things that open
to my sight in ways that I had
never seen before.

Seraphina
Whatever happened to Seraphina?—
precious doll of Caroline,
a present for her seventh birthday
in April, eighteen-eighty-nine.
Her body was of softest cotten,
her hands and face from china made
her lips were painted pink and smiling,
her golden hair a twisting...

Scoundrels Living Loud
Two birds like mischievous teens
skipping, giggling as they cross
the pumps, dodging car scenes
through the oily and Oldsmobile dross.
Scoundrels living loud in their little world
chirping along, rippling through grime,
gabbling as they kick the can, twirling
and uttering...

Recordings
The house and barn have surrendered,
burrowing under the loose dirt of the sun.
Echoes run from house to barn, from barn to house,
a ritornello hurried along on the skirts of the wind.
Dust muffles yet imprints step...
