Death May Be Your Santa Claus
Another 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...

Premium Member May my heart remain silent, like a stone in a river
May 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...

I'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 Question
He 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...

May
There 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...
