Engaging the Family Laundry
Perhaps infertile
incomplete
unwashed memories
of elder v younger,
Goliath v David,
crusades v communion
critical, yet part of chronic, events

to powerful dirty laundry engagement failures.
That disclaimer said,
I have two incomplete conversations
in mind and heart
and what I...

Dearest sister-in law,

Checkmate
Clever queen, I maneuvered my way through all of the subtle and most obvious plays
Masterfully
Sensual aestheticism, sexual teetotalism, romanticism, sadism, masochism, hedonism
Calculating many moves in advance, I played the game mercilessly
Surrounding...

Those Lowly Entelechies
Impeccant,
of non-textual matters
one’s covered flesh,
and hidden embrasure’
as diffusate primer
slips life’s veil, and
in agitated pontlevis,
cleaves the universe’ reason…
“Egads! What sorcery is this?”
Holy heart failure, Batman!
“Beavis and...

The hardest times leave echoes in my mind
And try as I might to push them aside,
The hardest times are a part of my life.
I cannot let them go without losing my light.

Bold New Globe's Kaleidoscope
Shapes, colors, and surfaces have long nature shone.
Anthocyanin in plant sap gives blossoms their tone.
All tones in the universe bear upon humankind.
Waves and waterfalls etched them and mixed their shade.

Creep

where solace binds and reason is there
for I hear inner voices in my head with choices

a noble church goer bows there head to...

A Piece of Mind
My explanation for my insecurity,
in a secure society might still not be clear to me.
Even though I’m status quo,
my mirror still lies to me
I’m not who I see,
its what I portray,
its what...

Social Media Princess
We first met coasting the blurred lines
of the information superhighway. We
exchanged polite words and respectful
kindness, though we seldom saw or heard
each other.
I am the old man of touch and eye contact,
you are the princess...

(A linguistic experience)

Never went to university
But popularised universally

I Can'T Forget
I wake
cold and uneasy .
Fitful, next to
fate’s anonymity.
The savannah interior
frees me,
from local textual thoughts,
and the worlds addiction.
Refused
the inheritance
of earlier memory.
The girl, a dream of trains and weight returns.
We had histories
You know!
Rain washed lives,
late...

Tired Babylon
poor tattered remnants of great babylon

Structures
structures of our existence
rankle like fire spewed by a volcano
figurative patterns form by natures way
elements of destruction thought beautiful

“fixed” doesn’t matter where...up close
and personal through barriers of sight

The End of Herstory
The End of Herstories
It used to be called senility
now Alzheimer’s, or dementia
but in Agatha’s case I’d choose
primary progressive aphasia
in which her language capabilities
slowly and progressively became
impaired as the author of more
than eighty novels lost the...
