Something For Emmett
Tears embedded
three ring delight
Star-crossed harlequins
pigmented fright
Echoes of laughter
masking false smiles
Greasepainted fantasy
—clowns in denial
(The New Room: July, 2022)...

Crows
Crows gather
in beacons of Blackness
Any subterfuge of despair
marvels their flight
A curfew is needed
for their sorceress
They are the harlequins of the night
on a mindful mission
of sequined tricks...

Fate
The hounds are baying
my hand trembles
I take a whisky to calm my nerves
The rain relaints
My tears have a glint
The fate I sought
has vanished in the haze
I rise my tune
and sweetly sing my time
as the harlequins lurch
somedays soon...

Winding
Secluded in the last visages
millenium wine washed down by punters
Pinch pockets stare sideways
Spot like eyes
being close with lilly eyed iwallets
A figurative disguise turning blase
The servant drums dance
Harlequins of night mass parade
winding seawards
worshiping the pipers
who have to be paid...

Gargoyles Jewelled
flaking paint
on peeling buildings
throws
clock fingers
through the last plumes of yesterday
Argus stained waiters
Gargoyles chewing on cigars
Smile till swede
Worshiping the harlequins
Sailors with denim eyes
velvet dolls with braided smiles
worshiping the dreams of night
and the Serpentine dulls grey, disowned...

Commission Into Tweed
The Harlequins of the night
languish their last aura
Lilly eyed clowns await
commissioners bleed into tweed
Rivillers errantly play drums
Damsels failing in their appeal
Adventurers sent back
Running on empty
the night people slide in between
Those old sinners head for the valleys
backing their wasted years
No prayers are said, just the orbital of silence...

The Color Wheel
The color wheel spins
in the month of May
with every shade of green on display.
The moss mixes in dark spring emerald spreads
avocado ferns feathering asparagus sea breeze heads,
Erin kelly limes flash neon harlequins in the air
Grass lawn malachites sway a chartreuse pear glint
olive jaded myrtles mix in mantis mints
flow with sea-green pine shamrock tints.
All spinning
on the scene
with the color wheels of green....

Pouring Light
Cigar but no cigar
extinguished by the elders
Gaslighting commissioners held in tweed
The night people slide in between
Pouring light
velvet dolls
play with their own discord
electric spears happenstance
pale Harlequins of the night
scratch their gilded fears
outstretched hands
that jabs the line
of ghost trains
Stacked chips
sequined starlets shinge
Rhinestone streakers parade
paying homage
to pipers never paid
who snort energy in spoons...
