Farewell
still my chin is shining with
the remnants of those smiles you
fed me till they flooded the
embankments of my undefended mouth
yet my hair already shows
the moths that having met the light
are folding now their wings like
spiders organize their legs for death...

Drivel
we balanced along
The embankments edge,
And past the Dead Dog Tree.
The view from the eyes that
Flew above aerials hum
Left us down in the gravelled
Crawl. Scratch and tap among
The ash heaps and the concrete
Cracks. Left to lie in the
Heart of the seldom sun....

The Flower Within
Hear not the silence in the new fallen snow
embankments high of drifted wonder hide
all that winter buries underneath its surface
and cocoons itself in an invisible whisper
when temperatures rise, sounds of rustling begin
from the depths of a volitional quietus
small lives will break beyond their shells
as they ascend toward the sunlit heavens
and discover how to unleash their power
by finding the flower within....

Eminent Domain
The numerous dirty-white mounds
Of snow that lined the narrow street
Stood like fortified embankments;
Each varying in height and width
Depending on the autos size.
Each space of eminent domain
Was illegally claimed either
By dozens of plastic lawn chairs,
Trash cans, anything to obstruct
Entry into this reserved spot.
I wonder if the yellow snow
I see dotting a few places
Is from a neighborhood canine
Or from a property owner?...

Measuring Dreams
The streams deluge is a sweet impromptu
Of entranced embankments deflecting the mass,
Infinite depths are the enquiries, ‘where to’
Jagged, tempestuous perpendiculars, alas
Quantify clandestine with volume I’d muster,
Then rapid becomes and is powerless to stop
Disturbing my sleep and awakening lack lustre,
Gently it beckons to an inevitable drop.
Just as my thoughts ask, ‘where do my dreams go?
How long have I slept here, and how far the flow....
