walking over the crimson red dead.

standing on soil blood soaked in red!
My heart...

He plays throughout the house at night
a braille touch for his lack of sight
and dreams of all the crippled things
with broken legs and shattered wings.

Dramatic Monologue
As Clean as a Whistle
As Clean as a Whistle
The park is a dance of colour
as leaves pirouette and waltz
around brazen, undressed trees.
November, and the sun sits weakly
even rather streakily in the sky
while I fold myself quietly
into this soothing, autumnal...

Polly
A nobody
Scared by the sound of his own voice
Following the girl home from school
In his mind this is normal
Stalking girls
He grabs her jacket
Pulling her backwards unto the ground
Placing a cloth around her nose and...

Grace Harbour
Grace Harbour
First into Grace Harbour
Me in classic sailboat
At anchor alone
In Desolation Sound
Where silence reveals the place
And the world is bigger
Because I can hear its’ vastness
It’s Bioacoustic diversity
Seals surface, gulls dive, water ripples.
A breeze in a...

Longer Chains
They said that they were building
a great society,
that poverty would be vanquished,
brought down onto its knees.
So they gave lots of hand-outs
to the destitute and poor,
and every year they cried ‘compassion,’
we must always give more.
But almost...

Freedom From Pain
As the clear light rises higher
Illuminating fog
Humidity from Friday's rain.
Thicker down in the bog

He yelps for hours today

Even a squirrel at play

Spring Break Vi - Spectacular Miami Dinner
By day six I was antsy
Stayed in my room all morning
I knew this would happen
While the glass-shatter of the ocean waves
And yelps of surprise from scores of little kids
Drifted in
Through my opened balcony doors

The Small Hours

Memory Rides the Rails
Forest fairies changing colors,
autumn's patchwork pattern weaving
in the foggy morning stillness
before winter's barren grieving,
up the river on the damp air,
up hollows through the shadowed vales

My Aunt, Samantha
This the truth will always be –
amity between Sam and Abdalla;
finding Bigfoot,
gathering the ocean’s blue; a perfect wedlock;
Hollywood; Fox News; Joel Osteen.
There is no place where freedom is not
sacrificed for...

Cat Purrs To Haiku
You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.

elevator butt.

Tail of black dog keeps good time.
Pounce! good dog! good dog!

In the forms of yelps of pain,
people from the hospital, along with their loved ones -
who care for and wish them well,

Their share of sufferings and pains,

Once again the battle mind field commences
Bombarded with thoughts, surrounding with fences

But overpowered by an incident from the past
Waves of emotions roar over the field
