A Former Great Nations Squandered Wealth I
Swept up into piles; everywhere
Abouts; in collected heaps all
Around.
It is almost as if the drab
Streets were strewn...

Covid Walk
thermometer reads zero, a chilly breeze blows
apple cores thrown, the blackbirds feed
my multi-layered partner dons her wooly hat
impatiently, she waits for me
securing covid masks amidst my overcoat

These Are My Words Of Death
I never could live without leaving something behind—
a trail of words, a bottle of bourbon,
and now these reflections,
because we can’t escape the truth forever.
The world smells like a battlefield,
and though I was never afraid to...

The Ballad of Circumlocution
In realms where thought and tempests meet
where shifting sands outpace the feet
a creature stirs with cunning guise
Circumlocution cloaked in darkened skies
its words like desert viper’s sting
they strike the heart then coil and cling.
Through jungles thick...

All Is Well At the Pond
Twilight, the frolicking hour of the nocturnal animals.
A curtain of gray melancholy slowly shuts out the sun.
There are two gentle remembering streaks across the sky,
Then all is dark. The master artist knew what He...

The Town
I can remember passing through
this town as a child,
stopping for a pie
on our way north.
Now it’s bypassed – barely more
than a clot lodged
in the spidery veins of a map.
Most of the houses are empty,
the...

The Beast
Dawns light slithers in, and it scratches your soul
The days eviceration about to unfold
Your mind all a jumble, your flesh all a quake
And you wonder inside " How much more can I take"
Will you hide...

Migdal Eder
Muscles locked in agony
Every ligament burning
Pain flooding nerve endings
Labor
Heavy panting of breath
Heart pumping trying to keep up
Behind the canopy of human perception
Life and Death dance
On her knees pushing
Two women holding her

Shards of Whiteness
I stand where silence is thicker than bread.
He,
not a man anymore,
but a bruise walking upright,
a shadow that still pays rent to the body.
Loneliness is not beside him.
It is the room itself,
the ceiling sweating plaster,
the window...

Please Pass the Entrails
You stand at your front door. Looking down, you see horror. You freeze in that spot
as from under the door, comes the bloody seepage of carnage.
It pools around you. As you...

It's a Snail's Life
There is everything ugly about the little creepy snail
he delivers the slime scraping his foot. Maybe it’s his small,
pea size shrunken brain or those tiny eyes, or the way
he slinks on his flat foot...

Mother's Day Parade
You can feel them move through streets
Emblazoned with sirens' primary colors,
A swatch of fjord's colonial flagship hues
Left to slap in the wind of reorderd forms
Until sheared into confetti strips. Scripts
Writ into a code are...

My Muse Is a Boy
He slinks to his place under the tree,
carrying his bag of art that swings
against his slender legs, and
he sits on a leaf-littered patch of grass
that’s surely brown beneath the
dull oranges and yellows of the leaves.
And...

My Words
Let my words bring on the darkness
May my words wrap you in shadow and scrape the inside of your skull
Scarring my beautifully sadistic scenarios on the inside of your braincase
Let my words coat you in...

Shearing Shed
The yards behind the shearing shed are overgrown with grass
And the fence posts look a little worse for wear
There’s cobwebs on the tractors that are sitting all forlorn
And a farm cat snoozes gently on a...

Shaking Shadows
Shadows detach at dusk, and like bats
roost together in sinister rookeries at night,
wrapped in black mantles
hanging upside down, gossiping.
Peter Pan lost his shadow,
"do you know where they put my shadow?" he cried.
He found it in...

Shadows of Terror - Lion Kill
As the light dims and dances on the horizon
A menace stirs from its slumber, slinks from the shadows.
The game move to and fro, staying sit means certain death.
The eyes of death blink with certain deadly...

Wildman
The Wildman
Left the mountains
In search of love and wonder,
Not in any particular order.
Now, he patrols the borders of a gas station, hooked on fuel.
Shadows act like Mother,
stretching out protection from judgemental eyes.
The attendants berate...

To tell me what is going on, and how he spent his day
He smiles at me and shows his teeth, it goes against the grain
He knows...

A Mystical Moon
Mystical Moon
______________________________________________________________
Mist floats in shawls over the dawn smile.
In July darkness with platinum gauze,
A shroud of mystery, a mystical aisle,
Where nature's beauty takes a pause.
Glistens on rows of sweet corn,
Dewdrops dance upon each leaf.
A whispered...
