Old Mr. Nicholson
totters across the town square
to the barbershop where
Clive has cut his hair
for the last forty years or so

Not hardly needing
even a trim
but pretending
he has a reason besides
the gossip waiting within

Inside, the shop smells...

Reuniting after Break
Not too long after New Years

With high school friends today
His fraternity's party
Before school gets underway

Sh!
Don’t tell anyone; it’s a secret.
Suddenly the hidden Poetry Market became desirable to share.
Only real poets are invited, I confide. 
 I wrote a poem once, she whispers, when I was eight.

A fox at the altar.
Bee nests to seek before light.
A rabbit where the fox’d trot.
(Foxes have only ever trot. Perhaps fast, or nimbly, or slow - they do not walk.

He sidles up next to you,
so stealthily
It’s like he appeared out of thin air
Then breathlessly,
he gives you a Jimmy Stewart howdy do,
and starts air guitaring in his chair
Just when you were on the verge of
hitting...

apologies to E. H.

"Blow, blow, ye western wind...  Christ, that my love were
in my arms and in my bed again"

Once she hated it, like Hemingway's Catherine 
hated rain, (I see myself dead in it)....

Her face may show a rosy blush
Peering through a favorite bush.
Perhaps you'll greet with great delight
This newcomer dressed in purest white 
Miss Morning Glory, sweet and lush.

Well known as bind-weed, Nature's thug.
She sidles up with...

It's in the gloaming
in lingering twilight
that beside me the disquiet sidles 
clouds idle, the violet of a bruised eyelid
and shape of fingers broken
and long healed
permanently wrong.
Inside me the violence is silent
but wants me pried open

When sin hits the half-eaten soldier,
inertia bane sidles below 
as time talks behind your back,
where the softness of an embrace
dips away, fades away,
a way 
one-way 
that has us say:

"I have shoes, but need not feet."

Wriggling...

Her hair's so black, the blue is breaking through.  
Centre-parted with furrow crown to fore, 
perfectly placed and kept in position 
as pretty red ribbons bind the bunches.

Her face is crazed and tanned to...

A young woman sits alone
silently weeping on the bus
like a flower
prettily wilted
against the windowpane

So he sidles over
in that funny way he has
so British and proper
buttoned up tight
sits next to her, leaning over
and confidingly says

“I’m sittin’...

Is there a lonely starfish somewhere out there

She slithers up to me 
but I take a step back, carefully, gingerly
It’s not that she is not affectionate,
because you would think that if you saw 
The way she wants to get close.

==================================
The widow, dressed in glossy black,	
glides from the shadows at the back.	
A veil lies slack across her face	
to mask the grief her features lack.	

Possessed of an insectile grace,	
she sidles to the open case	
and like the...

A desert flower shrouded in black,
she exudes the sweetness of a rose.
And sidles away from my approach,
her emotions hidden by a veil.

Dazzling eyes of cerulean hue
stare out at me from subtle shadows. 
For it's her...

Creation

women of age
sit in the sun and dream.  
they knit up our world 
on five flashing needles 
click, click, click

His own voice
talks over his head,
as if he were not there.

The load car radio
plays distant music.
Without thinking,
he changes channels,
hears only
the drumming road.

His eyes are low lit,
they see only feet
beyond his gripped hands.

Sunlight glares past thoughts,
he...
