Short Abetting Poems

She is a girl, learning law,
Hiding and avoiding love,
Aiding and abetting guilty in law,
But the beauty of love!...

A clumsy encounter

Where words fail

Keeping a distance

With those present

Abetting a slow

Riveting

Demise of dignity...

The sounds of a summer night ring out;
a firefly air ballet performs,
as young eyes embrace the tale;
played out by blinking lights.
summer’s magical;
churning waters
abetting 
nighttime
choir.

In the end, we were there-not there,
two present absentees 
sharing an apartment vacated by a relationship 
and the worst kind of loneliness -- feeling solitary next to someone --
partners in the crime of abetting mutual misery,
though neither of us can really be linked 
to the crime scene, can we?

A woman in travail, to give birth, 
above her head a crown of twelve stars. 
Clothed with the Sun,

Time to fill or time to waste.
Minutes spent can’t be replaced;

With weeks appearing closer-spaced
For age makes time seem faster-paced,
Technology abetting....

A pristine smoke was pointing
the where of pawns
abetting the glacial runaway.

Emblemic,
he was the last man on the stairs
ready to jump in the lake –

where the tongue was wasting away,
The death staged a drama
of a feel up of young buds

in a virgin garden.
The key breaks the lock
and darkness prevails.
