Why does the Moon think she is obligated to hide her body from the Earth?
Does she not know her revolving mass entrances our eyeballs to her blueish, gray hue?
Doesn't she know that when she shows...

Let me jump into your river run rich as Euphrates.
  Let me lay in your tall grass valleys nestled between two hard black mountain peaks,
where I 
  Can drink up the sunrays.

In the desert of my mind
Are nomadic dunes of ineptitude.
I traverse these dunes
Seeking words
Like a thirsting man after water.
My search is slow and ponderous
As my feet sink deeply
Into sands of frustration.
Drops of imagination
Fall from my...

Where's Your Poetic Voice? 

How to render it contemporary, unique, one in the whole wide world? 

Be elusive, a multi-headed, myriad-brained grandchild of Loch Ness? 

Or be happy?  The flow of dreamy happiness

when painting...

Let’s play.
Tigers have eyelashes.
Crocodiles smile.
The moon is made of cheese.
Shall we pull it down and see?

No? You want to keep it there?
You paint stories on its face?
Share your secrets in its ear?
Without the moon, there...

Cutting stones for building blocks doesn't
bring the whole food at the table. Playing
betting games force them to sell their
clothes and shoes. Saving money becomes
harder than collecting drops of rain during
drought.

Their children toil in the farms...

He had seen chicken necks 
twisted and broken in Chinese markets, 
the plucked dismemberment 
of flapping wings. 

With help, 
he could have strung his carcass up 
like a hog on a hook. 
He would have...

When I was a child, outside of Christmas,
Halloween was my favorite time of year.
I loved to make homemade costumes from old rags,
to wear trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.
And yet, for me, the most fun was carving

Up in the sky a great big spoon
Took a scoop out of the moon
It took one more and pretty soon
The moon went pop like a balloon

The spoon reached down close to the ground
And started stirring...

Home from a chemo session, uncle lights up
a cigarette and collapses
to the slick plastic that covers your chaise
lounge, auntie. He thumps the upholstery
with his legs and elbows for blood
to circulate again. A flake

drifts. Dehydrated lips,...

When picking a pumpkin, I want one that’s round,
The fattest, most corpulent one to be found.
It needn’t be heavy or massive in size,
But shape is a place where I won’t compromise.

The color, of course, is...

Over the chain bridge
shadow overlays the light
Danube is lazing underneath
silence is drifting in fright
You are standing on your tiring feet
An eerie feeling hovers over your skin
pathos pales the face
pain mists the eyes
The eyes, watery deep...

Pumpkin Pulp a hunger real.
Toothless meal a vomit fill.
Rumpy flesh to hold the meal.
Tasty strands of flavour seal.

Pits of seeds for spitting out.
White tidbits all hard and stout.
Strands of web to reach the heart.
Spirits strong...

A corpse in a coffin
Like a turtle in a shell
A torched arm breaks
Like a slice in a bell

A cough in the wind
A mouth draining dread
Sea running free
Grass tinted red

Moon cuts the morning
Stars dance today
Rain whipping...

The asylum doesn't
seem to work
for him. They
have tried all they could,

but have come up with nothing.

one of the men in white
say. "We can't get
them out of him!"

He spent most of his...
