Death May Be Your Santa ClausAnother morning gone. The warp and weft
of kids and errands seems a sort of theft.
I love to listen to the phone-in show,
Peoria Euphoria K Seven, Illinois,
the kind of thing that housewives can enjoy -
Andrea Doria, Eva Longoria -
but parents don’t have rights. I’ve got to go.
Another morning spent. The spare room painted.
I poured the soup...

May my heart remain silent, like a stone in a riverMay my heart remain silent, like a stone in a river,
No longer beating in rhythm with your memory, no longer feeling
Neither longing, nor love, nor time passing over
The shadows that stretch, long and cold, over
The past that secretly envelops me, like a veil
Of mist under which the soul gets lost, deepening
In the melancholy of an...

appreciating a may dayI cannot stand to be inside today
the air opens up my lungs
refreshing breeze makes me want to sing
I give thanks to God
for making me so sick, I was forced to retire
I have missed so many gorgeous May days
wasted years of my time
walking on cement floors
breathing stale inside work air
spending my evenings in front of a...

Emil CioranI've been fed a prune of life,
Spooned it silver, everlasting.
I spat it out to seek a knife,
To chop and cease it of forecasting.
The birth is reason as much itself:
Not 'yond the self conceived.
Wrote for book on busy shelf,
Whose tales unread aren't grieved....

A Statement May Be a QuestionHe slipped away? Or did they take him?
Stranger things have happened, have they not?
Why do I ask so many questions of myself?
Or am I asking questions of him?
I could make statements.
He went off of his own accord.
This is one of his stranger happenings.
I have to ask so many questions.
So, this could be a question.
Or is...

When tears don’t say – because you pray
It will be okay, when you see the light of day
Time will reveal, the story of His will
Whatever comes, whatever sorrow – so still
I know the music of His grace in each glimpse of His face
Glimpses of hope, portrayed on the sunrise, in the stars
Glimpses of...

May Hope and Faith set you free
By Michelle Morris

You read a poem about the Good Bones
And I could feel your sadness
Those words about unkind people
How the World was filled with madness
But even if there's just one
One little Light in the Dark
It can create a ripple
Ignite...

How may we know Godsmall baby steps, one at a time
take us to our destination
ladder of life let’s slowly climb
at peace in tranquil cessation
we dwell in form by night and day
and therefore we are hypnotised
but in the void of cessation
truth of God can be realised
let us celebrate the stages
of our spiritual ascent
inspired by counsel of sages
to accord love...

MayThere are towel-drying winds.
parks grow soggy with small dogs.
May is an old man riding a bike backwards.
It is oil for the broken engine in the barn.
Wetness folds this way and that
the sky unzips a larkish sunshine.
We hear nestlings in their reservoirs of dew.
New life bubbles in puddles,
the green and tufted arrive out of nowhere,
boys' fish...
