The human brain
has an organelle
.
that stacks heartbeats
end to end
and synthesizes time.

We are conscious
because we
make moments.

The Accountant

She works in accounting at the factory,
loves counting numbers and her salary,
she has it made,
till she got weighed,
obviously hates counting calories.

A Question

A paedophile 
Surrounded by elves
No women 
Work in Santa`s

His interests in children
Is suspect
Grooming them
To become gift giving
Adults
Keeping his business going

Trunk 2

Off ramp ahead
Small town lights
Flicker; the false promise 
Something more than
A closing down factory floor
Old Churches for sale
Dressed in flags of white and red 
Night sky above
Blind curve ahead

Lowell 2

Ambling and ankling on red brick and cobblestone
gone are your cottons and calicoes.
Factory skeletons repurposed, 
phantom workers operate 
Ghost looms in condo kitchens.

The sun sets like a watermelon dashed
off the Moody Street Bridge.

Premium Member when the clay is scorched

so little is enough for me 
on the loggia in the summer
through half-closed eyes...
the regular ping of a tennis ball
the scissor-like flights of swallows
the shunting of factory wagons
cheerful chatter from the café...
I hope it never ends

Black Roses

(First published in The Ravi 2015)
I flee the jaws of Time's story
As they snip me apart twig by twig
Black Roses nesting
In the flesh that was broken
Sand sweeps in, questing
Eternity's whittling me down to a sprig
An Enting lost in a paper factory
