Like antiwords, the absent
truth, walks with you.
It had indented the push.
Profanities are on rise.
Marginal dare has a
bracing truism.
I am working on a thesis.
The candles are out.
Light will come from burning
doors. Smashed windows will harbor
the grudge.

laying down
having a hard
time getting up
not sleeping
mind racing
with the noise
of cars chasing
each other around
an oval track
backtracking
fond memories
finding found
dream footage
photos took at
take a look at
perfect timing
in our lives
leaving me
to sigh
to laugh
and smile

UNEXPECTED
AS IF NOT SAID
BUT THE WORDS
HOW THEY WERE SAID
SO LOUD AND CLEAR
STILL, A REPEAT HAD TO BE HEARD
ONCE AGAIN
JUST TO ENSURE THAT THE WORDS WERE BOTH HEARD
AND UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY….
BACKTRACKING,
TURNING THE CORNERGOING BACK TO THE VOICE OF THESE WORDS
LOOKING EYE TO EYE
THEN RESPONDING SIMPLY BY SAYING..
“HOW COULD HE NOT”!
A goose hydroplanes
on a strip of wet air.
Comic honk,
wings backtracking frantically.
It blunders about directionless
as if bananas
were attached to its feet.
It’s the slick chill
making this happen.
The funny thing is,
it’s not even funny,
because a goose that can skid
on an ordinary blacktop
probably won’t make it
into Spring.
I was waiting,
the moon dance will start now.
Night was softly purring
near the damp thighs of hills
in happy valley.
Day was wasted
in prowling for silver spoons.
The hushed memories of hot summer
will criss-cross my thoughts,
food of soul, for hungry.
The life finally accepts the defeat
before passions, interned forever.
You keep holding the truth till last breath
and walk away from glory of songs,
reaching nowhere.
I don’t belong to me.
