A Whisper Into the Kitchen Floor

...He tastes the salt before he knows he's shed a tear
He'd always been a staggering man
Since his Army days known by most simply as Big Roy
Now he's a staggered man
This night, curved and hunched

I Recall Curtains

...Curtains, at Grandma’s house,
hide the inner sanctum -
memories remodeled.
—Quote by Poet

I Recall Curtains

Loveliness is lace; I recall curtains.
Village without curtains; ...

sharing

...pounding 
grinding 
drilling
sawdust
plumbing scraps
empty boxes 
strewn from 
bedroom to bathroom
and everywhere in between ...
a miner's shanty once
propped up 
on timbers with 
no firm...

The Enchanted Forest

...
Glass illusions forestry of butterflies in flight 
swiveling and turning wing, aiming for sun 
hovering over lulling waters of purple hues  
Breathing like flowers, frilling up the air 
inside ...

Sky Ghosts

...The drifts move their white weight
as if the heaps themselves
were snowplows.

Again the sky dumps afterthoughts,
the packed mounds are remodeled
under new wind-plantings.

When the land is a...

The New House

...It’s wanting from a few years of neglect,
relentless weeds crowding out the flowers.
But like they say, her bones are pretty good,
with some hard work and time we’ll make it ours.

Replace a few...

Unpardoned

...Years of grace
Moments of stamina
The GATE was finally in place
The lock wielded
The key in hand
Finally, choice had a face

Ready for guests to come
The garden grew wild
As she awaited her ...

Am I Dreaming

...Beguiled by her delicate beauty
Mesmerized by her charm.
Her soft flowing hair like spun gold,
as she danced in the summer sun,
As graceful as a floating feather.
Brighter than a diamond...

Little Adobe House

...Little adobe house on 160 acres
She grows flowers. I grow corn
Tomatoes, watermelon, etc.
Peace, love, hope, and joy
Grow themselves

Porch faces orange blazes
Draped over the rugged Mules

The Hollywood Realtor

...She keeps a loaded *****
in her shoulder bag.
She once found an unused finger
and has been thrusting it
at hapless men ever since.

She loves TMZ and Nancy Grace.
She sells space to celebritie...

The Gravity of Snow

...Drifts slide over
                            their white-weight,
the heaps are their own snow-plows.
Mounds are erased and remodeled
          by a laboring wind.

When the world is a white-ou...

Ice In the Veins

...It was no longer easy like Sunday morning. I was cold inside.
I was perplexed, confused, and did not have a clue of what to do.
I asked my closest friends, "What shall I do?" As time slowly
elapse...

Way Signs

...There’s a street map in a fisherman’s pocket
a splashing sea has soaked its print,
signs and roads melt
it could be Atlantis, or maybe
a bus route of north London.

There's an Atlas globe bobbi...

Old Gold

...I had for long been impoverished, as is often the case with writers,
Though I worked most diligently, at times even pulling all-nighters.

Rosy dreams kept me going, although times were frequently...

Broken Crayons

...All of these broken half eaten crayons 
walls decorated with mindless nibbles;

recall a time of free spirited scribbles;  

Trash,  treasure that was ...
