Visit To Antietam
Alone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.
Before me I see countless writhing rows
of indiscernible shapes gathered
in terrible rituals mid fire and smoke
darkening the sun.
From distant...

The Death of Marriage
It looked so right on paper to everyone; but when the night embraced her she was alone, still wanting to believe in love.
Her footsteps echoed through her cathedral of a house which offered her...

No Cure For Adhd
Interwoven in my DNA
Disjointing chain links
Always lopsided
Never any balance
Overreacting
Overly emotional
Distracted by everything
One day somewhat normal
The next day absolutely abnormal
Super friendly one moment
As reclusive as a funnel web spider the next
No way to truly explain
It's like...

Tears Of A Clown
Against a willowy wailing backdrop of inner chaos,
an indignant incendiary mask stifles the simmering cauldrons,
of a stoic stage clown post lachrymose performance wearily stunning yet stung,
or the surreptitious posture of the laugh it off as...

Almost Home
I believed in fitness and healthy living, including obtaining sufficient sleep,
To revel for years in buttery sunshine, which makes emerald willows weep.
I consumed only healthier foods, including plenty of fruits and vegetables,
As the glassy, black...

A Come Down World View From On High

Doppleganger
I missed you today.
With an suddenness, a bereft slap across my skin.
When that familiar hair ahead of me on the sidewalk
turned.
And it wasn't you.
I missed you in the hollow of the moment of the...

A Mind Confound
This place is a prison surrounded by thousands
of seemingly endless ruptures of light
Glittering like bees armed with non-permitting swords
That shine in the graceful glow of the moonlight,
Constantly drinking the colors of the night
in the unfamiliar...

A Quiet Conversation In Church
A Quiet Conversation In Church
Someone behind me stifled a cough
Turning around, the stranger nodded back
In the dim light
I made out a determined jaw
Felt thick fingers holding on to the back of my pew
I’ve been coming...

Hey…psst…wake up! I know it's still dark but will you come with me? Come on…
We tiptoe quietly through the sleeping house and slip our feet into flip-flops, and go out the back door.

The Waiting
She was just a regular girl
Not different or unlike any other
But lived in a fairytale world
And dreamed like no other.
She set herself faithfully apart
Unavailable for anyone else
And waited from the start
For her prince nonetheless.
Though...

the hour late, I hesitate
to lift the shield of isolation
the walls lean in, as if to hear
they make believe, by breathing hard,
as if they sleep,
but I am wise to them, I am...

Why am I hurt so sore, my folks
Why does my heart bleed
Why do I take it so personally
Why do I need to worry at all
Yesterday my General, his men
And the family were here...

The Greatest Sting
I never saw the coiling snake,
The suddenness of its striking,
But I quickly felt my mistake,
Stung with terror while hiking.
That quickly turned to burning rage,
A response uncalculated-
A sudden and angry rampage,
And the snake was annihilated.
Then...

Untitled
I'm paralyzed by the suddenness of my awakening,
Frozen with uncertainty as my heart pounds within my chest;
And my eyes and ears struggle to make sense of the darkness surrounding me.
My body frozen, not a...

Hit Me With Your Best Shot
I was just walking down the street
when it hit me
a quick jab….followed
by a crushing right cross.
I staggered….stunned
by the suddenness of
a seemingly unprovoked attack.
Life, fate, Karma…WHAT!!!
I covered up, rolled, bobbed left,
feinted right, slid along the ropes

Raising Skeleton Woman
She arose from within me,
in the quiet contentment of a day, filled with dogs and digging,
white fluff falling from the trees and blowing in the wind.
I did not see her coming,
had no intention of calling...

Variations On a Theme
An underlying theme
breathing sleepy, ice clear and blue
to stop you in your tracks
on a warm summer night,
after having pulled into the driveway
under the honey suckle awning
and hummingbird flutters-
To wait.
To plug up the windows with glass
and...

Trap Door
You hoped there’d be another
but it’s another night alone
the empty vines of memories
is a wine you call your own
It’s the ritual in a cigarette
unshaved, unwashed
and couldn’t care less
a single seat
a solo time
the prediction of it’s...

White Light
WHITE LIGHT
daylight
coming in
intrusive
caught sight
of
the
minimal
after-images
hanging
in the air
time
become
often
a
beginning
unstretched
uneven
or
discarded
curls
in
layered
texture
a consistent
touch
of
traces
of
actions a
come together
a residue
of
the
unfinished
thoughts
petered out
dwindled to
an excerpt
&
a
sigh
a
faltered
interruption
barely begun
delectable
yet
truncated&
improvised
suddenness
a feeling
of arrival
a
reassembled
happening
a
boundary
overrun
&unfocused
throughout

Deep Sorrow--
Oh, let’s us not forget,
Deep sorrow,
Especially that caused by another
Overcome with grief
Tears and suddenness of quick relief, release
Sorrows misery
Sadness, anguish,
Pain’s, distress, agony
All so real…
All I see…
Torments, affliction,
suffering, heartache, heartbreak;
Grief broken-heartlessness, heart of heaviness...
