Pedestal
3/2/35 03:19 I glorify men Placing them high on a pedestal Where my father fell short The bar is in hell And the bare minimum are the crumbs I live off Satiated from nothing and empty promises An illusion of fullness As I see myself in half As I saw myself in half As I stand here with a...

The Bear Minimum
Early morning, in the country, Walking solo on the road, I was texting with my husband In his slow strained-muscle mode When I heard the bushes rustling So I glanced off to the right And the head of a black bear popped up, An unexpected sight. It was only for a moment, But our gazes did connect; Then the bear turned ‘round and vanished, Which...

Minimum Wage
Minimum wage The olive trees in the landscape near the village, Have working-class trunks and no illusion Of becoming middle-class trees. They refuse to grow in a plant- nursery and be tampered with by botanists. They do not envy tall palm trees. Good luck to those who see the world through an elevated height. Good soil and water the plebian olive tree wants it has deep...

Premium Member The Fat End
We are the workers, call us an hour before an absent fill shift The pyramid sprouts atop of The heavy depths of broad ordinary, Breadth mopped and swept Silent cogs push motion Everywhere, rarely heralded Carpet of field mice scrambling Part of the pattern, crucial Expectations remain ingrained Pith of the fruit, flavour generic Bolster of bricks protects Lighthouse of blinding brains Scratching...

Premium Member Minimum Wage and Sand King
two old poems from the book 2000-2001 Minimum Wage Pigeons coo as Seagulls fly in spiraling swarms above (universal?) Birds in anticipation of an unknown purchase practice aerial acrobatics **** spattered on fresh Windex streaks Squeegee stopped mid stroke and swaying as I scream skyward Formations unaltered unlike the boss’ face Windex bottle shattered blue liquid down the drain Sand King Atop the dunes of time spent some hours tracking circles in the sky and diggings...

Premium Member A Minimum of Baggage
For a good part of my life I have been trapped, my mind and heart elsewhere, absent, in a box- After the deaths and sadness I just stopped, stopped caring and my emotions became frozen, and I was a ghost of me, full of gloom and unhappiness. It was all dismal and gloomy in my dark small box, my mind was...
