Ghost of Tsali Comes
Ghost Of Tsali Comes
Lost in mist and maze
Ghost of Tsali in the corn
River water runs
Colors of fall alive
“Til moon replaces sun
That’s when Tsali comes
Corn roots cling to bone
As he tends the empty weirs
This spot...

The Evolution of a Broken Heart
“The Evolution of a Broken Heart”
In thy hands,
I gently placed it
lacking hesitation’s pleas and virtues
‘twas ne’er a time to be uncourageous
plucked somewhere from deep within
my honorable, clean gilded home where
pure intention sat regally spartan
upon...

Revenge Kisses and Afternoon Shams
Have I failed you as a man?
Our only communication was what washed up on shore
But there's so much space between the ocean floor and the sand
One cascades and the other crystalizes
But you...

Smuggler's Boat
Migrants on the move from violence
their only possession
breath-space on a smuggler’s boat
secured with back-bent harvests
in pretzel-bent systems
weight of crates of strawberries
hoisted on hell-bent backs
just trying to reach Spanish-shores’-east
from Moroccan beach with a...

Where do these tears come from? My makeup
is melting in the spotlight. She has gone.

The Chilean Episode
Two thousand feet in the belly of the earth
So near the opulence of golden ore
And so far the poor man's dream of worth
From the falling sweat of toil
Around the Chilean house
The wringing hands toll in...

Flying Solo
She struggles to provide the essentials
Everyday
Every waking moment is like a cast iron weight around her neck
But this was her flower
And if her only option had been wringing a damp rag
This little flower would surely...

Echoes of His Master's Voice
Pray,
If you should tell
All that you have bottled up
Who will you tell?
Who will believe you?
Stories of swollen head, slit lips
Blood, brimstone and bonfires
Laboriously ignited to silence
Rats, rabbits, dogs, roaches and mosquitoes
Stories of brazen...

The Hungry Stones XII
Heavy and eerie silence reigned therein,
The dark rooms looking as sullen as mean,
As if they had taken serious offence
Against me who had failed in their esteem,
My heart feeling contrite was heaving...

Syrian Refugees
SYRIAN REFUGEES
I'm watching a programme on telly
About the Syrian refugees
Men and women and children
Humanity brought to its knees
I'm watching the desperate faces
The terror and hunger and fear
They're facing their ultimate nightmare
And me? Well I'm just...

Those Lowly Entelechies
Impeccant,
of non-textual matters
one’s covered flesh,
and hidden embrasure’
as diffusate primer
slips life’s veil, and
in agitated pontlevis,
cleaves the universe’ reason…
“Egads! What sorcery is this?”
Holy heart failure, Batman!

My Orion
Last night I awoke to the sign of Orion, and the big dipper pouring beauty into her

Though the stars say she is a Capricorn, a meager goat, I see Orion’s majesty every time I

To bring philosophy to a women's monthly
And call it quits

With Tears That Fall
“You may say that I’m a dreamer”,
With such presumption in my youth
Beyond school age, yet hardly saged
I hoped to use my wits to change the world…
I dreamed I would…I dreamed I could…
I declared to fight,...

Mother's Day
Almost four years now since you left us, wringing our hearts.
Beginning your new chapter, you slipped away in the night,
Connecting with an expanse of new and perhaps, old, companions.
Doing everything we could, we struggled with...
