Dragonflies and Damselflies

...I’ve seen them many times before
just outside my back porch door,
dancing ‘round from high to low
‘round and ‘round and “Doe-See-Doe.”

On glittering, gossamer, ghost like wings
flickering like...

i’d forgotten she’s blind
peripherally

Bipolarity

...BiPolarity
has been largely ignored
polarization,

Linear and stagnant hierarchies
peaking in well-capitalized severance
and sterile self-satiation

Use you
then leave you
win/lose planning...

Peripheral Beauty

...The train was zooming by,
When I saw her like a veil 
A mystical angel
In the heavenly sky…

She was strolling in the street;
She was immaculately neat.
It was like a dream;
I wanted to screa...

Never Not

...I couldn’t see at first
And for that I am regret
I couldn’t see when it was worst 
And I shouldn’t have left yet. 
And to you…I’ll never not be sorry. 

It was fast friendship when I moved to t...

Tentativeness

...Times get spent in eternal search,
Betwixt life and death life perch;
Holding here; holding there,
Hanging like monkey; not fully aware;
Temptations of growing higher creep in,
Like other unfulf...

Feminine Foes

...Discrimination? Never - 
Like charlatans, we claim,
Aren’t guys and girls, here,
Like fantasy, peripherally, same?
Nourishing the boys,
And starving the girls, yet, dear,
Is, in real life, like...

Creeping Beauty

...Beauty stealthily creeps; peripherally drifting, sight unseen.
We’re caught at times within her gaze so clean.

Our eyeballs turning inside out rusted with mistrust,
find beauty sometimes gigglin...

Heavens

...It has been low, dim, and heavy,
heavens part, light swoops onto open waters,
the overflow of recent torrents
glittering sky-fish skim. 

Keep on driving as if the road were silver rails.

The Madness of 2020

...I fold between blankets like a broken accordion.
No more music in this darkened room– my own 
cacophony pierces this throbbing skull. I imagine my life 
becoming more like the acid trip my dad onc...

Monarchy

...last year's unplanted
milkweed pods are 
weighing happily 
not on my chest
of drawers but
my bedside

beginning
to open on
their own even
oddly because the
only something that

An Early Morning Walk On the Beach

...I awoke after hearing a noise on the roof of the cottage, it sounded like a couple of seagulls, probably fighting over a piece of bread.
I was wide awake now and looked over at the clock, it said 04...

Of Winks and Wings - Part 1

...I have a little story to tell you ... it's absolutely true, of course, at least as far as I'm concerned, but you can take it as you wish - as a tale, a fact, or just the musings of a hack writer - no...

Eyes Down, I Clash Averted

...Eyes down, I do the test.
Eyes down, it's you I detest.
Avert your vicious stare, 
    your blazing eyes, frying me.
I won't look up, until you look away.
I can see what your eyes are doing

Crystallized reflections peripherally surpass imaginations advent.

Crackling blisters intern vivid arbitration, as if to teach spi...
