Long Regrouped Poems

The trail was long and very dusty
great clouds churned up by hooves
of the vast herd being wrangled on
300 more miles of eating their dust

Bandana's tightly wrapped round faces
cries of "get up there" ringing out
bawling calves...

Not really knowing what the future holds.

She’d say

you used to
pen little notes
to me
used to text
me
all the time

used to
make a nice
dinner on
some nights
and talk to
me for awhile.

you used to
tune into
me
when I talked
used to smile
at me always

used to
throw me
anywhere
and show
me why I
mattered

I should...

He only saw a speech bubble from the

paper's cartoon section.

The facial expressions and gestures

The empty freezer hummed void of cookies and tarts,

at a ceremony graced by men of great stature
be officially declared victors in academics

We will take a well-rehearsed parade
towards the podium where we will shake hands
with professors...

The tenderness of my feet 
Transformed in to a hard Foot Step
With the passing time and life's heat
Through the sirens and blacked out evenings
Through the bare footed run down...

The Fermi Paradox: Where is everyone?
The Universe is nearly 14 billion years old say those in the know.
Enough time to populate our galaxy they say!
But is this really so?
The elements in our bodies were created...

You’ve held me in your hands to pliably mold
And I held on to you in just the same way

As we made choices...
