Joy and Ride went for a spin
Round each bend, a wicked grin
Those seatbelts they weren't fastened in
The ones that stank of rum and gind

a fender bender
a cell phone quickly hidden

The rickety bridge holds steady
underneath his bare dusky feet.
Un-sturdy but still fastened,
the darkling waters do waver.
He prays, then crosses over.

to hear the rustlings of your loving thoughts
Draw me to your bosom and hold me dear

Teeth fastened in his throat,
Claws buried in his side,
Blood gushes out of your mouth.
As he falls to the floor,
You pray he understands
You had no other choice.
This was always how this story was going to end.

"Dance! Dance!"
he constantly told his dancers.
They danced morning,
afternoon, and evening.
So exhausted they were,
they died.
Now he keeps their bones
in his closet, fastened with strings
like marionettes...

I caught a falling star,
oh yes, I swear I did
I put it in a jar
and fastened tight the lid
So when it’s late at night
or days are kind of gray
Then I can use it’s light
to help me find my way

He took my hand to the other end of paradise
we told secrets to each other as we fastened
our eyes to the spingle songs of yesterday;
When the poetry stars descended
we began a kiss that never ended
up there, in paradise....

TWENTY MINUTES OF TURBULENCE
seat belts fastened
tight
snack carts
jettisoned away
pilot on the talkie
nonsensical i say
the mobster clouds
take our jumbo jet
for a ride
we fly the turbulent skies

Modern Times
Artificial heart
Its batteries fastened to your belt
Be careful
Always have reserve batteries
In your pocket
Should you run out you have got
2 minutes
To find and replace
So do not fumble and lose them
On the floor.

There’s a well
in your meadow
only music can fill
It’s deeper
and wider
and calls to you still
With its bucket
overflowing
and rope fastened tight
Sweet melodies
waiting
— to quench your delight

A manuscript of gold,
Written in crimson nectar.
Are now fastened in tears so cold,
That even love silenced in freezing hell may stir.
For a manuscript of gold,
That never reached its crimson queen.
Will never be able to tell of a patron’s undying love.

After soliloquizing
In darkness
We struck a resounding chord
Making rhythms
As we march into the light
Now we come
But not to you
To plead for justice
Not to you
To stay your fastened arm
But to face you
And voice it home
That our hope is not dead.

I do not know?
Bitter and sweet
Bliss and misery
Are, all the things that you,
Inspire in me.
Your name gives my heart, just
A hot chill.
Until my fastened lips are able to,
Open and say “I love you”.
But alas my mind becomes delusional,
Unable to approach the being that is you.

In a not-so-ideal
wedding idyll,
a homicidal,
recent bride’ll
get ideas,
not be idle.
When he shut-eyed, ill,
then she sidled
with a bridle,
fastened idol,
both hands tied, till
in came tidal,
claimed suicidal,
got car title,
left for Slidell.

Starlight
Like sequins on a
Dress
A gown of
Black
Across
The water
A blanket fastened
To unknown
No light, no shadows
In the blackness
Of the universe
No one will ever
Know
The secrets
In its depths
Night
Willing to be forgotten
Reminding us we’re alive

savor of fresh rain
bird house fastened to tree trunk~
beak full of earthworms
nestlings bulging cheeks

I've put the foil on my bedroom doorknob
and fastened rubber bands across the latch.
I've mixed Coca Cola with toothpaste and vaseline
then poured the rest of the coke in the toilet.
I've drunk warm water and a shot of olive oil.
I'm tired; the bananas will have to wait til morning.

The grain of the wood,
fastened and softened
by time and breath;
these pebbles so smooth,
coated and left with
the silk of dead waves -
and you, all of you, your flesh
so awake to my longing, my touch,
are more beautiful yet
than all these reminders
that night will embrace us
and change us in time.

Floating in with a tune
Striking a melodious tone
Stirring, revving
A once scenery mind
Into a hat full
Of harvested choice
With each sounding pitch
Awaits a sure response
From the riding of feet
To a rising note
Crowned with a crested call
Running from a fastened passion
Echoing our own desires

Freddy filched Frankie’s fav’rit fudge,
fearless Frankie flattened Freddy to the floor.
Father Fletcher fearing fratricide
fastened Frankie’s feet
firmly to the farmyard fence while friends
fixed Freddy’s fractious frame
fast to the family Ford.

After soliloquizing
in the darkness
we struck a chord
making rhythm
as we march into the light
now we come
we do not come to you
pleading for justice
we do not come
to stay your fastened arm
but we come
just to face you
and voice it home
that our hope is not lost
