And seek more adventures as those wings unfurled
Within my long travels I happened to meet
Two...

Of Ghosts and Fiends in Twilight
The sun sank low on the darkening horizon
Grey mist hung adrift over the land thickening
A cold, brisk autumn wind held and embraced me
With my horse’s pace and that of...

The Woods of Four dimensions
Washed ashore on the lost island
Skin already peeling on the beach
Burning from the hot green summer sun
Meat melting off to become bone
Jumping back into the water
Cooling off with the clams and fish
Washing the sand...

Stricken With Anguished Nausea
Stricken with anguished nausea
Written three years ago tomorrow,
yet superimposed (likened to
emotional palimpsest) upon
mental state of yore
recent post traumatic stress
triggered courtesy war
torn legally tendered greenbacks,
where enemy bonded, heisted, and netted

No One Counts the Bodies Jesus Walked Past
Kensington spreads its legs—
lets the city crawl in,
dripping Xylazine / fentanyl / tranq,
open sore veins
moaning dirty dirges.
False prophets—
all piss and panic—
bark half-lies
through decaying molars,
fingering apathy
for spare change.
You smell it
five blocks before you enter.
The stench tests...

Until I was eight years old, she sent me to my room on summer afternoons.

Over the Edge
Jack and Sam
were two inseparable souls
Best friends tend to be like that,
especially if both were born on the same day
They were two good looking kids,
who liked to play rough and tumble
Didn't mind scraping their knees...

I Am Not My Fear
I feel I am drowning
In open air,
Clawing at dirt that isn’t there
No one sees my distress—
No one really cares
Clacking, scraping sounds
Of glasses and plates
Echoes of breathing and voices
Assault my senses,
And still I cannot breathe…
Even as...

I Implore You
I’m drenched in farewells…
I don’t know why
You’re on my mind tonight…
Forever,
I feel that my mind is giving in to
Grief’s gravity
I saw the sun,
Ascending from its resting haven,
Hoping that it will...

The Rites of Business

How far can this go
The thrill in success is habit forming
Success becoming currency of the day’s blo'
Materialism playing a heavy hand as judgment
With minions waiting to join in
Groping for a share... a...

The Difference In the Stories We Want To Tell

capturing only the quiet current lapping

Gift To Myself
I spin, faster and faster…
losing control, I am a propeller rising.
Once, you were my mystery to solve,
my gift to unwrap -
my challenge, my highest vista to climb.
You lifted me to your...

hinges rusted shut
She was not guest
She was garnish
