Like a dark water wave,
a flock of geese splashed
across the collaged, Virginia sky.

Teeming tall trees
stood rooted in juxtaposition.
Some stood poised
with outstretched naked arms;
while others stood with arms clothed
in beautiful blossoms—
Sneezing yellow mist chilling winds.

Awaiting spring’s emancipation,
confused allergies seem to hibernate....

Behold, across, the window scene, 
     The falling sky, a low, aging gray; 
The pregnant clouds appear to burst, 
     Heavy with the rains of May.

Looking out the window 
     At the prelude to a storm, 
A man awaits the torrent, 
     Hums a sullen dirge alone.

Growls of thunder, bolts of light, 
     Storm’s above, storm’s his mind, 
Clouded with collaged memoirs
     From sadder than sad times....

Please strike
the piñata
i have made for you
out of the  stripes of paper
and the glue,

In  the midnight hour
i have labored long
on this plump pig
of collaged letters.
with  corrugated metaphors
Sightless Find the weakest point.

let that guide 
your hand
the transparent rose
cellophane
wrapped candy
shall flow
in libation of sound
pour down
like a quirky rainstorm
bouncing 
like silver
coins
on the sidewalk
of your mind....

forays
  with the 
            commonplace
collaged
     spatial
            merzed

assimulated fragments
of the
      immaterial
         by chance
made
material

    indescribable
without purpose
yet
enduring
       memorials
displaced
in time
         
three dimensions
monuments
    as
     reflections
       of the uncertainty
                       of life
an
   essence
       of the absolute...

In the purple smoky collaged sky 

The birds swam home 

on flaky water colours,

carrying his rainy perfume.

I prayed for this one night

He would evenly spray my garden,

Without the rumbling accompaniment

Of his hurly burly friend flashing

nightmarish psychedelic lights, but let

Little Sue dream with her angels in peace.
