his miscreant philosophy was easily seen that day
he held his wormwood tea in an irritating way
diffident cousins were totally intimidated by Jim
his duende charm sort of knocked them on their chin
I held great grandma’s zither in my non-musical lap
Jim’s sister trivial complaint about this was a bit of crap
the timbre of this instrument will amaze you, I said.
I said this without hesitation, feeling confident as Ned.
Ned is my gay cousin, who came dressed in red and teal.
He always says the funniest things, at every single meal.
It would be seismic if we relatives could all get along each time.
my grandpa, an erudite writer asked me if I know how to rhyme.
I am unsure why I put myself here, but they are my kin I guess.
Today I am here to honor, my recently deceased cousin Tess.
Aunt Cherie is cavil, complaining about straws that are yellow.
I roll my eyes and smile at my new date, a tolerant good fellow.

Seismic—
Shock wave of energy
swelling ocean waves,
Powerfully driven
like a freight train
rolling fast as a jet,
Open ocean ninja stealthily
racing toward landfall’s
most evil betrayal,
Rip-tide on steroids
sweeping away
unsuspecting souls

My hands, she now holds
Pertness amidst my fingers
Internally he
Seismic we are, rejoicing
Two hearts, beating as one, voiced

when I sleep I cling
to the satin of your skin.
I breath your pheromones
and store your essence in my mind
to take out periodically
and weave you through my soul,
inhaling the need into my core
the addiction of my soul.
The basis of my world has shifted
like the plates of the continent
your shakes become my quake
and I fall crumbled at your need.
I could no longer define myself
as anything less than your half.
Whether it is better or worse
I leave to your discernment.
Daily I endeavor to better
the parts of me you need,
for if you are complete and strong
my happiness is complete.

The girl in my dreams,
Earthquakes and trembles,
Be humbles before her nude front,
Sexuality kitten cost,
You still haven't lost.

If ever Everafter seems
Inscrutable to you,
Remember, visionary dreams
At times come all too true.
The city by the bay will fall,
It’s Golden Gate to lie
Submerged, with skyscrapers once tall—
Metropolis must die!
The angel-city farther down
The shifting shore will be
Another, underwater town,
Punished presently.
So heed the bardic omens no
Mere scientist dare read—
Pacific coastal millions will go
Help the fishes feed…
