An elderly television speaks to her
in a deaf duplex.
Her garden is a cluster of cobwebs,
it rattles and spins its gossamer skeletons
by the shade of a spidery light.
Tale of Two Citizens
The pair of bi-sexual two-timing women left the duplex, too drunk to board the Twin Cities 2:22 .
Double crossed on the two way street, the duo fled New York, clutching the Tale of Two Cities.

double midterm
a sinner complex
you hear train whistles
say to yourself
he’s nervous
cat corked up
in my window
a caboose in my house
boose if you need it
double voyage duplex
many moons ago bad luck
whole bunch of holloween years
to boot
Paper Skin
I touched
my skin
and winced
in pain.
Stinging
Throbbing
Bruising
Aching
You tore
my soul
to shreds
again.
Slashing
Ripping
Splitting
Clawing
Scratching
A wild
creature
would do
far less
damage.

Villain
Caged in
boxed-in
in love
with a
villain
Handcuff
to evil
nowhere
to run
away
Turned light
to dim
fond of
stealing
peace; joy
Closed hand
bruised face
regret
repeat
please stop
Thoughts of
slaying

escape
bondage
Strangers staring, father frowning
as the crickets chirp in the deluged duplex,
Sydney swims towards the stairs,
looks like no water wets here, she said,
father follows further,
where's little Linda? , he heard,
a barking bulldog runs down the slippery stairs.
She thought
"ugly"
was her
first name
the girls
hated
her guts
the boys
would tease
her too
Then one
summer
she bloomed
into
a rose,
the boys
desired
her touch
the girls
hated
her more
she walks
with grace.
Not Me
Some mourned
His death
Today -
Not me
Someone
Killed him
They say -
Not me
He stole
My wife
And laughed -
Not me
I fear
Prison
That's why
Not me
His death
Improved
This Earth
Say I
He'll rot
in Hell
Godspeed -
Not me

Up above the light of heaven.
The shining sea below so clear.
Awaiting to the sun to duplex.
The moon the opposite side.
Up above the light of heaven.
The sky so clear, at the night.
Stay focus on the creation made.
The bright, beauty of the everlasting light.

An Honest Man
Christmas
Eve and
he is
rushing
home with
gifts for
his wife
in bad
traffic.
He texts
“Dying
to get
home.” Then
nothing.
His wife,
not far
away,
and some
minutes
later,
can hear
sirens.
He was
always
true to
his word.

Dex and Rex were two crazy insects
they lived in Delaware’s favorite duplex
Dex’s nine-foot pet was a large T-Rex
Whom Rex did not hesitate to hex and vex
T-rex named Zex had lots of purple flecks
Cousins argued they looked more like specks
he liked to lean his giant neck over their outside decks
drivers who saw him often had car wrecks
Trojan Flower
Demon
Seeds that
Grow with
Your vine
Only

Bitter
Blush wine
Nectar
Of love
Gift from
You a
Trojan
Flower
Only
To be
Revealed
As a
Poisoned
Shower.

Christmas
Every
Christmas,
our close
kinfolk
arrive.
We share
our love,
great gifts,
good food.
Round the
table,
we all
hold hands
and pray;
give thanks
and praise
that now
one more
Christmas
was shared
jointly
with love.

Witch cousins crammed into the tiny duplex.
Packed in so tightly, that no one could flex.
Warlocks were mad now, couldn’t work on their pecs.
Party spilled over onto noisy neighbor’s upper deck.
Neighbor strained to take pix, injuring her neck.
Gawkers I cars had a horrible three-pile-wreck.
Landlord made witch cousins write him a big check.
They painted his car with psychedelic paint fleck.

'nam age

(7th December 2016 - entry to "duplex" contest)
Note: The 'nam reference was a bit obscure. There was a song in the eighties by Paul Hardcastle called "19" referring to the average age of a US soldier in Vietnam.
The Serial Killer (Duplex)
Daily
he waits
for night
to come
and then,
shrouded
in pitch
darkness
or pale
moonlight,
he goes
in search
of prey
striking
swiftly
without
mercy.
His needs
appeased,
the great
horned owl
puts his
conscience
to rest.
Remorse?
He does
not give
a hoot.

First Place
doe dolphin
bud dew-bedecked dawn
things all these
past and gone
grow wall,grow wall
not the corn
flats- villa- duplex earth adorn
Veiling wardrobe vying with roar
sumtuous sex to seventh heaven soar
frigidity flirts with feverish flair
relishing euphoric ****** rare
poems popcorns petty prudish puff
licentious thoughts and roads all rough
hi hello friends vile vagrant words
as if unruly shepherds'herds
write not,write not,tell I myself
business brings this power nor pelf
