Illness is
a lonely place.
It's nothing to do with that person
who asked how are you? this morning.
It's to do with staring through
fear-frosted windows
as snow sugar-sifts the street,
watching through dark windows
as firework flowers burst to bloom in a...

Is gather all your stuff and pack your bags,

Imagine
Imagine all the people
who trade in human life,
imagine all the reasons
given to this particular vice.
I visualize the rivers
that run with coagulated blood,
I visualize the tyrant
that stir the waters good!
Imagine all the evil
where nightmares are conceived,

The Boy the World Forgot
He came into the world without a sound.
No hands reached out to hold his fragile head.
The nurse just wrote his name and walked away-
A child born to silence, not to songs.
His mother stared through windows...

Emotional Siege
My emotions tease me at their will,
Plunder my hapless intellectual world
And declare a bloodless coup d’état.
This undeclared war shocks my core,
Grips me with a freakish fear
And forces me to plunge deep within,
To rein in my...

Examination
"I'm going to examine you today,"
he said.
He had no stethoscope, notebook,
or pen on his hands. He wore a long,
white robe. Sandals took the place
of shoes.
"I'll examine your brain, a few moments
from now....."
I wondered how he...

Gotta Go
Books to the library
photos to family.
Paint cans and lumber
from renovations years ago.
Most of the furniture
including the piano.
Fastest way to do this
is rent a dumpster.
On the internet
nothing’s permanent.
I like that.
Photosynthesis, evaporation
as if your spirit disappears
when the...

breathes in, when the customer struggling to
get their discount card to read on the scanner
becomes more frustrated with each passing
moment,
he has extraordinary patience,
because this one is representative of the

A Book For Jude - 2003
The making of a book,
with love within it's pages;
should be a piece of cake,
and not take her ages!
Where's Denise? asked Molly,

making a book.
Oh! that makes...

No Doubt
people fail to deliver a job with honesty and industrious nature.
when they died, they carried pain and raised worrying rankles,
children never face them, they find the practice has no true feature.

Contrary Intrusions
A social worker bashed in my door,
seizing my kids on rumors
of bath time photographs.
On my trek to court
to rescue my children,
they forced me through
a biometric scanner
recording every detail
of my naked flesh.
I was lambasted by a...
