Long Wrapt Poems

All things that glow and move,
all things that change and pass,
I gather their delight
as in a burning-glass;

aside from countless
(approximately seven) other
prescription medications kept
stashed in a plastic tray
until one or...

The huge, white sun was my companion, and unobstructed views of stars.

I was enjoying the continuous, pleasant journey, like the driving vacation,
As you...

As black, diamond nights come in sequence, with the glittery enlightenments.

"Romance in the Time of Crawling"


We wait in hibernation
for the great release

“Kafka Disordered”



Kafka disordered 
never complete
in himself 
burning stories 
fuel for Nero
dreams of you
reading him 
wrapt under 
the covers
of his last pages 
tattooing his voice

lips pass keys
legs entwined
love notes 
never run

Metamorphosis
the trial

Which Doctrine or what Teaching did he buy?

In twilight's hush, where shadows play,
Amidst the trees, a whisper'd sway,
The wind, a zephyr, soft and low,
That stirs the leaves, and rustles slow.

The moon, a...

A child of beauty.
Such a joy to behold,
So full of mischief
And yet good as gold.
A rare precious gem
In a world gone awry.
A laughing imp
With a sparkling eye.
Sweet innocence wrapt
In a bundle of fun,
Full of wonder...

What, No Butterflies?

Come walk with me in morning
When life is fresh and new,
When sunlight gilds the waking trees,
And grass brings forth the dew.

Accompany me at noontide
When the world is plainest seen,
And colors catch and hold...

The man she lies next to 
Is a good man; her champion,
Defender, and faithful one,

Yet she hardly noticed when the flame
Began to cool and love’s passion 
Became an obligation.

The stillness awakens in her

Impossible to miss him in a crowd, 
jet black moving chimney, one head 
above the rest as though he walks on stilts. 
In the sun his head of hair, 
coiffured, defies brand new enamel.

O ye dead Poets, who are living still
Within the circuit of this plodding life
For truly this game is well begun
Above the smoke and stir of this dim spot
My foolish, broken, blemished Muse so sings
HARK! hark!...
