And looked out for folk that he knew were uncouth
His years on the run had made him aloof

Green Spanish Eyes - Part 2
Continued from Part 1

while the drumbeat pounds, droning, the rhythm sounds, moaning,
of jungles Jamaican entwined
in the valleys concealing the vineyards revealing
the vaults in...

I shall take Dreams as an objective.

as it was his custom,

I Forgive You
I forgive you my dear country
And her ignoramuses
To my televangelists who prophesy
earthquakes
And hellfire
Instead of love and forgiveness
So they steal from the poor
To buy miracles from God;
To my shopkeeper who doubles the
price
Of flour at...

10 From Pre97
Working Long Hours
Glasses long since full
Relaxed mist evokes wooing words
Yet conversation and atmosphere still are dull.
The four on stools-not vagrants and not lords
The common face of easing pain
They sit and smoke, smiles shown
As if to...

The Slight Distance Beyond
He lost her that night.
Before-
Weeks after school and weekends,
weather or not,
they had built the fort-
strong, Indian proof.
Father had provided a tarp.
and his father’s High Standard Sport 22 pistol
for wild animals.
The woods behind the fort
were...

What Else Could I Be
I walk inside to get a bite,
truck stop diner, late at night,
eyes all red, I’m quite a sight
to see.
Take off my old trucker’s hate,
think of the girls waiting out back,
have no interest in getting that
disease.

The Amorphous Wanderers
The circumscribed blue, yet painted limitless,
espied familiar trespassers, no... aghast! Invaders,

The heavenly arbitrator of the eternal vogue
implored the vagrants to...
