A Music Box and Memories
On a cobblestone street,
cracked and ill-repaired,
I rifle antique shops
for a jeweled music box
to cradle my empty locket.
I wish to drop it

Introduction To a Goddess of Old Soho
She slipped into the single’s club,
where an assortment
of horny guys and lonely hearts had assembled.

and some had come to chase away the blues,

rising over a slender neck to greet the curve of her jaw..

Choose Life
Call me ignorant
but just let the light shimmer above my head,
let those whispers softly dance in my ears
and leave me alone
because I don’t care !
Because I know
how ended those who gave a damn !
Names, you...

Waiting For the Wash
I was slumped
in the plastic lawn chair
and was fixated
upon the spinning cycle
of the washing machine.
I stared at the psychedelic trip
of prismatic swirl and listened
to the innate hum of the...

Naked
I’ve tried to hide
But you find me
You find my psyche
Dressed in a turtleneck
With a refined scarf
And you disrobe each layer
Pulling at that dangling string
The hint that may unravel me
Playing hide n seek
Like a toddler
If I...

Very handsome in crisp turtleneck
He tells a sad story about a shipwreck

Mapping the Imagination
It sounded so cool,
coming from the master
wordsmith there on the cover
of "Poets and Writers".
didn't he look like he knew?
White hair and beard,
impeccable, black turtleneck,
coarse cloth overcoat,
turned out, casual and
desciplined.
More like mapping the magi or
apping the...

I Love You
thought I'd always love you
couldn't see another way
Please don't hit me
I love you
I would say
Didn’t know that love was not supposed to hurt
that crying through the night just wasn't going to work
Please, I didn't mean...

Checklist
Here’s a little checklist
If you think you’re getting old.

The Polar Vortex
I check the weather on my phone
Before I head outside.
My jacket choices such a glance
Does helpfully provide.
For weeks, my trusty fleece it’s been,
With turtleneck below,
A sweatshirt sometimes added
If the wind’s supposed to blow.
Today, though, temps...

Between Time
We’re now in between time;
The closet’s in flux.
Dressing’s a problem
And clothing’s the crux.
Turtleneck? T-shirt?
Long pants or Capris?
Boots worn with tights
Or just socks to the knees?
Temp’s one day 80,
The next 52;
Sift through my dresser –
Don’t...

A Scarf
I always thought a scarf was simply
Meant to warm your neck
And wore one only when I set out
On a winter trek.
But one day, having left mine home,
Just walking several blocks
I shivered from my turtleneck
