Grandfathers Clock Revisited
The wrinkled gent woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. Staring into the 
darkness he saw nothing. Gloom and fear ganged up against his mind. Had he

The Badass Yodeler
I was in a bar in Texas,
in the eastern back-country,
with three beers already inside
and another draining quickly.
It was a perfect redneck bar,
the kind of place I love,
with sawdust on the floors below
and taxidermy up above.

A...

Selection From My New Novel
Apostrophe in time. Mixes twenty foot differences between mice and men. They all fail. But the failure is only a thought a big lie. The fun now is the brow of the valley under Universal,...

Scarred Streets
the streets are scarred for good and we know it
after the hits of untamed hearts
after this abstract damage of cyclic returnings

there's a window in my chest
a sight of iron garden and crystal steam
where colour of...

Museum
This is a monument.

It was born from us a town illegitimate; we never married.
 A great hall of artifacts, plucked still-gunked from our livers,
Others clean-picked from our birdy bones.
 Over there you had loved me,...

Drive Through Nursing Home
Hey man, let's stop by the drive through nursing home. 

'Okay.' 

I pulled up to the menu 

'Uh, I'll have a septuagenarian widower whose hobbies include 
pottery (specializing in lawn ornaments) and taxidermy.' 

You want...

Flounderings
Mid-November skids into a white-boned sky
Frozen fish dream of warm tape water.
Every step is a cliff-top for the weakening.

Meanwhile, beautiful people wash-up on sandy beaches
create more buttery lobster commercials,
evening gowns drip like sequined icebergs.

The young...

Beneath the shades
of velvet shadows
swarms of amber
luminance of daylight
and elusive flits
of faerie embers.
Veiled in jeweled which
rhymed with 
Calyx elixir tints
of moonlit hues,
wings of light fractals
of burnished baubles.

Serendipitous breeze
scribbling rimes 
of a runic serenade
in glints...

Coal hearted caretaker
never could accept or give love
has a collection of wounded women
placed them in his half dead heart museum..
he painted over one with an oil colored tongue
stuffed her into a silent taxidermy bird
He turned...

Vegan Taxidermy
a hardly morbid paper mache crane full 
of jolly rancher candies.

 blindfolded children wildly
 swinging bats on the backporch.

the wise sit back and drink
 diet shasta grapefruit soda.

few understood the sky to be sheathed

But for those who forced darkness to take flight,
And could never by grounded thoughts abide,
But for those who fought the accustomed fright
At the new thunders rebel minds confide,
Fossil dreams we all would still inhabit,

A Large House At a Bargain Price
A Large House at a Bargain Price

By Elton Camp

It’s off from the busy highway
Making it a quiet place to stay

With two stories and a basement
It’s right for furniture placement

Elegant stairs, the banister too
The house is...

Professor Ingram's Collection
At the top of the stairs there's a musty room
Full of curiosities weird and rare:

Seashells,
Hummingbird nest,
A globe of all the world,
A two-headed snake kept in a jar,
Newspapers from near and far,
Pinecones,
Octopus,
Drawers and drawers of butterflies,
A...
