Something strange that hangs heavy in the air.
In her repeated prayers, a name came to light,

She awakens in a cold room,
Letting her eyes adjust,
To the swaying bulb above her,
Shivering as she lifts herself upright,
Climbing to her feet,
Feeling her knees bow,
As she steadies them.

She slowly walks,

into my severance of free days.
Safe in winter with my kids and Blue’s Clues,

nurtured those long talks into...

Dawn Forever Rising

It starts

Street lights fade
their tiny soft-winged tenants flee
checkerboard facades change
last night's illumined squares now dark
become but yesterday's portals
some polished
some weather streaked
all reaching to reflect first breath

Steam ascends from the city's vacuum
gratings rattle with...

I'm ready to connect with an...

We sat in the fallout 
of last year’s gift exchange—
smashed angel centerpiece 
taped back together 
as good as a rogue bomb 
if someone mentioned it.

low, cold, summoning something
older than...

Hi Skool Massakre
Goth boy dressed all in black. 
With a moody stare. 
Not giving a frig. 
As long as his subgun is loaded. 

Safety off. 

Both his and his gun's. 
Hear his New Rock boots...

A Second Please

Aesthete equip upkeep spade, trowel, and watering pail,
Balters out freely, gagging unwantable, grit travail,
Chrysalism advents the righteous eyes and elaborates,
Dulcet forgivings a moment's lapse and recuperates,
Euphoria occasions...

Your face contorts in a twisted effort
Plaintive in non-decorous reverberation
A terrain around a pair of distant orbs 
Lost in extemporaneous consternation
To ward off the fear of unwanted evanescence
Upon the wanton revelation

On the road and you’re flirting with disaster,
 A liar, a creep, a thief you will master.
