Long Tows Poems

Let me ride upon the crest of an aquatic wave, to spin and
Twist within the rippling tides, of the water spheres deepest
Ocean, allow this land creature to become as one, a liquid
Creature of complete fluidity,...

it’s my life and I don’t need a guard
I’m taking the sign down

He spotted a another sign, ‘no boating’
He had...

"THE BUTTERFLY CATCHER."


Chicano face.
California.
closer to death.
he just pulled up to a house where the car he's about to tow sits.
he tows a lot of cars, 
talks to people every day. 
he's loaded his truck.

Afternoon of Goodbye to His Time

A picture of my father,
When he was my age now. 
He sits in his office, 
and I am somewhere far away.
He writes in his cramped handwriting,
scours the books where he...

Inside the water 
where they float or sway in their rusting roots
are horse tackle,
buggies, 
unhinged parts of eighteen wheelers,
a girl on a tricycle, her bones still cycling in the drifting meld
circle squirrel and possum pelts,
The...

I know there is a God
Because He is the only one who
Counts the tears my soul cries
When my body and mind are numb
From the barbs of enemies and swords of friends.

I know there is a...

With bent torso, fenced horse Corso,
Tows corpulent gent Morse into a Kent forest.

This portly source torments tense Corso to such a contentious extent
That he sends them off course with vehement force to show his discontent.

“Whoa”,...

Blackberries start as white dots in a sea of thorns
The flower will fade, and a green berry will join
Protected, it will grow and be pink
Safe from even a massacring mink
Larger, it will swell until it...

Creating avatars in political and law reality,
contracts and controlling stability.
Modus vivendi where the money flows,
oceans of spirit fears in tows.
Irresponsible silence of motions,
honored sheep’s and their devotions.
Munchausen’s syndrome via comic book,
kindly bulling with every look.
Home...

Feelings of despair dredged from the murky dephths of my past
Hoisted through my corroded conscience's porthole
Reconnoitering barge of restitution pushes despondent thoughts through my inner being
Then tows the shame and guilt of my depraved condition...

Her eyes scream silver carnage,
The glitter of white death,
The glare of shining ice
In the gloom of coffee shop forenoon.
Clouds obscure the sun
As pain destroys his lungs,
Searing orb light
Scrapes his face,
Freezing rips his flesh.

Her glance,
The flash...

The essential constituents of captivating charisma
align with the fabric of consuming sincerity,
find the adornment of internal beauty 
spread invisible film on deceptive external ugliness,
remove the distressing doubt that it can’t be irresistible.

An overwhelming humane faith...

Sea of Chaos

Salt the fish
Salt the sea
Sea pea green
Sea like moss
Moss takes over
Moss ground cover
Cover your butt
Cover mine
Mine big diamonds
Mine huge hearts
Hearts of passion
Hearts on fire
Fire the boss
Fire up taters
Taters with eyes
Taters and corn
Corn so...

A new beginning opening up.  The buttercup,
The daffodil, the song bird's trill.  Like being

Without a thought  of rembmebering.  Recalling

Leaves of gold and bronze,
Fill the palace in half,
And flowers with alluring scents,
Fill the other half.

Ruled by a Queen with an iron fist,
Her eyes alight with a playful glint,
She likes to play with people’s souls,
And...

Towering cathedrals and blistering feet
Walking past shops gelato in hand

Candles and holy water with a...

Oh, how weary the lost must be;
Misguided by their history—
Searching a god particle theory.

Where were they when the word sang
Let there be light?  Herein was the big bang!
But they couldn’t rise to the height--

Zipping through New Hampshire’s White Mountains
Suspended by a rope through trees
Autumn colors accompany a brisk breeze
Turning your face bright, scarlet red
Don’t look down, just peer ahead
Live joyfully in each challenging activity

“What,” you say, “no engine?”
Sail...

At midnight, I walk along the shore,
Hear the lurching of the creaky barges
Plowing through the dim-reflected light,
Hear the mates calling to each other
From the tows before settling down
For the long, slow drift down the Ohio--
They...

ARROWS & TOMORROW

We sow
It grow
With hoe?
God knows
It shows
We pose
Hell rose
So low
Shooting arrows
Bleeding rose
Bloody nose
Oh no!
My marrow
Ahhhw!!!
Pain, slow,
This arrow
Body hollow
Drill holes
Full bowls
Bleeding holes
Eyes close
Arms froze
To toes
Death ooze
Overdose
Like booze
Too close
Need coals.
Its cold.
Don't go!
SAY NO!!
NEVER SORROW
HOPE TOMORROW
Float solo
Like...
