...Sneezing again,
Somewhat lost control over me.
Again.
And now the seasons changed,
Summer’s walking out on me.
Again.
The nicotine chain,
Forcing down another twenty.
Again.
Wheezing refra...

Capsizing the Costa Concordia
...Capsizing the Costa Concordia
Divers wreathe silently through
the submerged corridors of a
140,000-ton wreck. Little fish

Sky Hooks Hang Themselves
...Will the sky topple inward
or the hills heap upwards
it I do not make these symbols
upon a snow-white field?
Will a poet turn to stone

Flowing Downstream Without Levees Or Windbreaks
...some poems ask to be naked
they have no use at all
for punctuation

A Foregone Conclusion
...Life has surely broken me.
I’ve flunked out at Everything.

A single reason surfacing,
Hiding Places changing,

The Local
...Stupid Penny toys with her button
Biting her bottom lip, Frowning her brow

A Dog Got Into My Brain
...The moon was big and lit-up,
so of course, some local dog
was barking like crazy.
I got up, it was half past the tic of time
and way deeper than any sunken face.
I was a little wasted;

At the End of the Day
...The final score
always left wanting, regretting
much metaphorical bed-wetting.

Seeing a Painful Future
...It feels as if I am living in the aftermath.
When I have not even started on a path.
Because the statistics tell a truth that makes me go numb.

while she washed away her bloody pain.
Now all day long she sings that song,
