Writing With Weeping WordsWRITING WITH WEEPING WORDS
Lucinda runs through the forest,
runs past the barren fields, runs
past the lucid waterfall, runs
with her tears, leaving seeds of despair.
Roses with thorns grow most beautiful -
red, pink, yellow, white, as she grieves,
running,...

The Toe Jam JamboreeWas it his head tilt that stumped me—
Was it his keen variations of hilarity,
Was it his words—wild, strange, free,
Like a bird straight out of captivity?
He had a frisky, playful tongue
That sounded like a friend

At the House of BougainvilleasIn the yard next to my house,
I often spy a small strange pretty woman
watering her bougainvilleas.
Trails of rosy pink and white intermingle
along one side of her ancient house,
where they drift down to the...

Rose RhapsodyMy rose bushes are lusher than ever this year.
For soaking rain and warm days abound,
Though with too little sun I fear.
Still, they give me many blooms that astound.
Their gentle glow lightens any despair,
On return...

The AftermathDo you ever take the time
To just stop
And listen?
If you listen closely enough
You can hear your eye lids
Click.
You can hear your ears
Pop
And your brain
Shift.
You can hear the liquids
Sway in your head.
If you listen closely enough.

Education At Gino Vento'sSun-faded cardboard photographs
of 1970’s hairstyles
were tacked to
the brown paneled walls.
His counter was cluttered with
the shiny tools of his trade,
a chipped glass bowl
laden with lollypops,
and a jar of combs
in blue liquid.

She Gathered Roses~
She gathered roses,
one at a time,
choosing carefully,
for you see, they were her healing
A light breeze tickled her hair
as a brief smile curved upon her soft lips
The sun, bright on this day was a welcome diversion
from...

The Guest Room SymphonyI was never afraid to
Tell the story of the panic doors.
It once began while I shimmied my
Way up a lattice and
Into the guest room.
I felt like a child on the
Verge of an egocentric breakdown.

A More Beautiful ShellSome way from the Firth of Forth

A humpback whale
Juddering its leathery jaws together

Promises Broken, Forsaken, SunkenBroken hearted, I hand in my resignation
From seas of disappointments I’ve suffered
At your hands in stagnation
You nurtured, progress snuffed, your ego puffed
In your Ivory Tower where power
Looms strong on the agenda
You pursue every second, every...

The Crucible of Legends
Children of possibilities navigate the classable realms,
settling upon the measurable.
Amorous piglets, their peachy snouts delve,
rooting through the trash heap of desire.
"In a time beyond now," wheatenly speaks the tale-spinner,
plucking a clover, pale and crowned with...

Here She Comes AgainHere she comes again,
That clip-happy, snippy crone who fancies herself a gardener.
What?
She is doing such a horrible job of it.
She clipped two of us unmercifully yesterday,
And we both had potential, talent, and gloriousness
These other buds...

Mrs Hechtman's RosesMrs. Hechtman lived next door
And when her roses bloomed,
She always brought us a bouquet
To keep our house perfumed.
The blossoms, of the palest pink,
Were dangerously thorned
Yet in my mother’s crystal vase,
They kept our house adorned.
I sometimes...

S I N AThe zoo’s a peep show for kids —

Bare chested is fine

I'Ll Be BackI'm no good at trimming trees,
Cut right through them like a breeze.
Snipping here and snipping there,
Like someone without a care.

For I've already begun.
I always start way-down low,
Fast and fiery as...
