Tears of Time
T i m e stops for no one,

thawing frost that sleeps upon
the necks of onyx roses,
where pain is etched in skeletal sins~
across pruned plumes,
fleeting through amethyst air,
merged in changing...

Life Has Purpose
Standing among the evergreens, hardwoods grow pale
Signaling the change—like a snakeskin shed in near perfect form,
On the forest floor, shadows and leaves, in infinite degrees of repose.
And for a season, before new sprouts, these giants...

Strip Before the Styx
Charon demands us to disrobe
Sell your layers for coins
Some with less have more to trade
Better than becoming chained ghosts
Our suits and dresses tie us down
Being nude again will be sobering
After a year of stripping down...

FUTILITY FOCUSED
On unimportance
Perfection is put off

these shelves
have been emptied out
memories of a love
incinerated
all past tenses
blank name tag,
blank face serves
as testimonial
loneliness

Billy Bo Bob, woodsman his job
Was a hunter of faded flannel flair
He whittled wood with two left feet
And used Quaker State in his hair
He picked his teeth with a straw of hay

Remember Yourself
I have stood on every shoreline Earth could grow—
watched civilizations peel off like snakeskin,
hands red and raw, throwing words into the wind.
What was it, they asked, what was the answer?

We Have Our Own Nickname For Her
He calls me names, the teacher said.
Her arms were crossed; her mouth was tight,
She was mean-face-angry. Furious maybe.
What names? The boss asked her.
Does it matter? I wondered but later I was glad she had.

Orange Peels and Baby Stars
As I was peeling this orange it whispered an epiphany
"You must first be taken apart to gain strength..
seek out the purist of storms
dive into the cyclone,
be cleansed be reborn."

My Heart
I am a glass half full
Sometimes sloshing over the edge
A temple for fireflies, sand dunes
Water by nature, that cuts deeply
Beneath the reeds, flowing fast
Rapids, sometimes violent
Rushing past...

Shame On You
Don’t listen to the whisper.
Don’t encourage the lying Siren:
That your brain is a trash island, refuse washed and scattered upon the shore.
Your mind a broken cobweb dangling,

as opposed to a bus the difference is studied
sick between Australia and China.

rotten avocado with boar bristles.

Ode to Texas
There’s not much to love in the land of

Air-conditioned grace droning over

Children can have new names
If they pick them up with...
