Premium Member Backhand
"Backhand"

inside out, cut open
like a tennis ball
I used to beat backhand
along with the racket
hard against the garage wall

To make sense of it all
as a child, the grief stolen
all too swiftly and replaced...

They say...

Still waters run deep...
Then why are there so many shallow people?

When it rains it pours...
Usually the day after I wash my truck.

Walk softly and carry a big stick...
Or walk hard and carry a small...

2015
Starched tears stream, crust
over like a spoiled sweet on 
pink cheeks, flushed,
from suffocated time,
gasping for air,
I shatter at his words like brittle rust,
crushed to dust, 
mind meek.

Fifth time this week.
Shallow breaths to Karma Police,
struggle to...

“Spilt Milk”



Warm milk 
before bedtime
spilt before sleep

The salty tear
in a body of work 
along the dark line kissed

lovers and their conspiracies

pulses felt 
quills dipped...

The world’s problem can be solved in a day
If everybody would just kneel down and pray
The world’s problem can be solved in a day
If you listen carefully to what I have to say
You twist and...

Premium Member Kids' Table
Laying my head back, eyes closing,
reminiscing, the years falling away into decades ago
to the 1950s at my grandparents' grand home
for Christmas.

It was a gracious dining room.
Noontime sun streaming in.
Chair rail with deep red wallpaper, white...

Friends used to say like an elephant I never forget
these days I have the memory of a goldish or amoeba

Singed
I move my life to marching drums,
carving paths into my bare palms.
You showed me how to play apathy

I've never begged to a silent god more than
when I dreamed of empty tables
and riots in my wardrobe

Vacant
For the girl who went. 

Emptiness stares in blank pages, 
another dirge written in torment.
Your face I never know how pretty
it was but you came with a shaped cry.
What eyes will watch my large mouth...

Milk Spill
Under inexorable gravity’s pull,
galaxies often move toward one another.
Closer and closer they come to each other,
till astronomic smashups happen in full.

For no less than two of them, possibly three,
such a scenario has been predicted,
as computer...

Defined By Idioms

Naked truth, bent nails
dead men tell no tales
bad Apple, broken mirrors
burnt out light bulbs, crocodile tears
spilt milk, goose chase
two cents worth, rat race
rotten egg, bad to the bone
eagle eye, no place like home.

You guys never laughed at me for spoiling you rotten in glee

With spilt milk over nothing as if I created exquisite novel cuisine

Of course your applause was quite muted because of the padding
