If Only For Monte

If only tears could wash away the pain
       or fill the empty pit that sudden loss creates
If that were true then this old heart
                 would numb with overflowing

This hole which resonates inside

3 Card Monte

Gather your false prophets
and sycophants
 Bury your heads
in the deepest sand

Tell the same lies
 as you sing to the choir
 Slave to the mirror
—and sleight of hand

(Dreamsleep: May, 2023)

Monte Carlo

Hush!
Discreetly they be. Clandestine
Journeying a void voyage,
Made for each other
Madly in love.

Might be
A pin drops silently
Mind is a culprit.

Yesterday slumbers on a bed of thorns.

Hush!
Sweaters in making
Knits a sock, as well.

Footwear and footprints in love

La Maree Monte

BENEATH A BLANKET
OF SADNESS
SHE WAITS
FOR THE TIME TO STILL
FOR THE WARM WIND
TO CARESS THE TIDE
AND CARRY HER OUT
IN WAVES OF BLISS
IN THE UNDERTOW 
LOVE
THAT POWERFUL ELIXIR
THE POISON
AND THE CURE.

Yule and Monte Carlo 

While I sit and watch circus Monte Carlo
and get annoyed by the undignified use of wild animals,
perhaps except horses, they are beautiful and dumb and get oats to eat after 
the performance,
There is no peace for the Palestinians and their struggle to win
back their country and bullets sing through the night.

Breakfast Cristo Monte Sandwich

Make a jelly sandwich.
Dip it in egg, vanilla,
and sugar that you've beaten.
Cover it with Swiss
cheese sauce
and put it under a broiler
until bubbly.
Eat with a fork and knife.
Serve with coffee,
and sliced tomatoes.
Cooking is what I like to do,
especially, sandwiches.
I love to pile them high
with lots of stuff, and try to
make them a beautiful
presentation.
We don't just eat
