Hear my boy rapping the words to his headphones
Every bleep comes another bleep
As he keeps dancing to the beat
Come upstairs and barge through the door
Say to him,...

South America or Africa (on location).
In a diamond mind.
The protagonists (lovers), the diamonds, the miners and the minders.

As all art must:...

Prosperity’s flush, hues a rainbow dispenses
beyond (ultraviolet), less (infrared’s heat): (1)
from gamma rays down to low-frequency photons.
Both snakes’ and mosquitos’ eyes love infrared light.

I am the writer that you think I am

Sad words written on a lonely page sporadically through a sleepless night
Alike to
Tasty words poored out like savored wine that was aged for the same occasion

Last night your ghost passed by me
Riding a bicycle with a basket
And oh, how badly I wanted to be in that basket
Like E.T,
Finger lit and pointed
Guiding us to my home
Where I was a little girl

It shall be a day,
Grand as a full moon night itself,
Imbibed...

Here’s a starry poem one might call ekphrastic
about an exploding fireball fantastic
from a ‘nova’, imaged with time-lapse clarity,
all the more remarkable for the rarity
of tracking its expansion– which researchers say
engulfs a place in outer space...

all admirers whom are confused

In Our passion, in love, We are satisfied
And in Our love We embody confirmation
Where are We traveling...

Next to my son's anger
plate tectonics are nothing
to me. His unhappiness
was caused by me.
His purpose and mine
is to catch photons and
store them in our bones.
Time measures change
which continues without self-doubt.
There is no self there.
Therefore, why...

I sobbed I cried at news you'd died
Was more a launch exploding, heart
Somehow disaster on my part!
Though capsule's ashes stain the ground,
The goals you dreamt of, live, profound.
They blast off, fly beyond the moon,
Such wonders,...

Hello my Pluto, so distant and small,
Some questioned if you were out there at all, so
Passing by planets of far greater size, I

A story inscribed in the constellations
of the punctate canopy of night
Perseus astride the winged Pegasus
Hurtling to save his fair maid Andromeda

While her folks, Cepheus and Cassiopeia
