to the young woman who surreptitiously read
her aunt's very private diary,
filled with vulnerable statements

and transparently lusty spirit,

Yet, though secretive,
then took a bold black marker
and...

Hey There

Giving so much 
I can't see you
There
with your husband4
That should be me
We tested the waters and the great sea
found a sailor.
Nearby I fixed the dog: he'll never love again
Lusting beast, he'll never love again.
I...

Parody of
"Californication"

Songwriters: Anthony Kiedis / Michael Balzary / John Anthony Frusciante / Chad Smith

Brigitte my love
Our Country suffers of many debts
The people are restless
Whatever shall we do love?

Ah Macron, we must think past the cookies
The solutions are complex, answers evasive
Let me speak with Marie Antoinette, she shall know!

She Goes Back
By Lillian J. Jeffrey


Whispers flow like a river
she will be sold
sold or rented like a cash crop

Born on a Maryland plantation
her mother works the big house
Harriet runs barefoot in the woods

On her wheelchair. No writing from a limited body
The sand waiting from her what in life is more salient
After she saw the old man,...

(A lone voice whispers)

Are there many quiet times
When you look above

And are there are many crazy raucous times

When you’re also forced to
Look below

Can you still feel tendrils of
Old memories from your
Hidden archives

That cathedral you may...

HOLDING BACK TEARS

Being a single mother is rarely appreciated,
when it is a very demanding, challenging, complex
responsibility to take on and carry on for years.

A DUSTY OLD HURT ROAD

I was steering my car in an un-alert mode
While driving down an old dirt road
My auto was making clouds out of dust
While I was doing that which I must

My hands grasped...

a one against all iconoclast
eat my shorts was his hello
after being driven from the village
by the Iceberg Clan physical therapists
and their dictatorship of deduction
a mere fascination with the grotesque
boasting an indignant moral high ground

The additions and multiplications;
Divisions equal to unknown formulas,
Those numbers ranging...

I'm not Deranged just Derailed,
Deraptured with the Devolution of Angels,
The Devilization of a Nation,
Decorum Demands that I Devalue individualism,
Some Decadent, Dilenquent, Despot shouts 
"Our hair must be black!" 
"Our hair must be pink!"
Displaying our inner...

Citizen, consider choices nurtured,

In a time of tumultuous world upheaval,

stagnant words on the mind and tongue.
Nuclear proliferation grows in hateful...

Hanging with the OM monks

I’ve been given a reprieve
