A Neighborhood Child
One Christmas eve my ceiling hung
With thready webs a glow behind
Cast lace patterns on my bed
That Yule eight reindeer ran the covers
Then through every midnight room
I...

The Haunting
I walked through the haunted
house on the hill,
through the untended garden first,
a tangle of foxgloves and weeds,
claws of bracken the hands of the dead.
Trees, stripped bare branches scratching
bulging underbelly of...

A Private Fishing Hole
My uncle took me fishing.
He’d smoke his favorite briar
Stuffing the cherry blend in with stubby
Welsh fingers more suitable for digging coal,
Than compacting mulched tobacco leaves.
A line taut between his index finger and his thumb,
He took...

Christmas Eve
CHRISTMAS EVE
He lay abed
That most tranquil of nights
Aghast at moon and stars
Dad had painted for his delight
In one charmed corner

From his thready design
Outside strolling carolers singing
Then he rubbed his eyes

Night falls upon the ocean deep
When all that is weary and fast asleep
Silvery sage colored moon
Hanging over a blue black ocean in June
Mixing up a bowl of vast sea mystery
Your bountiful glory...

Portugese Lady
Part of the masses, another blue-bottle blip
ocean-sweeping ~ sailing blue-massive
oscillo-roaming-wind
spinning a dizzy-spherical war ~

Sitting Quietly in May
Some might say,

Random Dream

Golfing across the state.
T-shirts with a picture...

His limbs become to loose and cold..
His pulse...
