just not where this world can see

porcelain pumpkin
with her fake orange-tanned face
— hued husk hides the bruise

Black Widow
a veil of shadows
hid therein
seductress with a poisonous pin
mid hollow husk
of past repast
she awaits.......

Empty
nothing
unseen
person
what good will come, empty, nothing, hull.
Gave up too much, unseen, person; husk....

I am no body
husk of maiden, shell of she
smiling Buddha cheeked
children crawl from crossed legs
poetry flies from my hands...

Blight
Nothing grows on salted earth,
Finding only empty husk .
Tilling the soil of layered death
Causing blight with every tear....

The Sparrow
The bird's husk
a salient point
for even the ants
have given up
on the dry feathers
of the small
lonely ghost
of no account....

Musk Flower
Its bright yellow throat
with veins vibrant red erupts
in the softest scent of musk.
Birds and bees harken
to its call for them to drink
deep from its alible husk....

Your Heart In Mine
Your heart in mine
Is held within this burned out husk
Your heart in mine
Has brightened all the darkest parts
So I proceed with heartfelt trust
To claim my feelings from the rust
Your heart in mine

Carapace
A carapace of courage
Lies buried in the hills.
A library of wisdom
Stocked with empty pages,
Erased for all the ages.
A husk of special skills
And verbal vitality
Dad, juggernaut at rest....

Obituary
Dusk to dawn and dawn to dusk
Turns carbon chassis into withered husk
Faded breaths fade from memory
Must this be our destiny?
Time may yet erode the flesh and bone
But lifeless words lives on in slabs of stone...

Solsticing
Sitting here on this stoop
My mind is a hollowed husk
My heart a lukewarm soup
Cooling off with the dusk
Petting my old black cat
I watch the rising full moon
Thinking I’ll never top that
I remember it’s only June....

Cob of Corn
I am a cob of corn
whose husk was torn away
I have a yellow belly
I am exposed
I attract hungry crows
they peck away greedily
they come to devour my good bits
and with what little they leave behind
No men will be fed...

A Camping Treat
firepit corn-on-the-cob
cooked with husk still on
wrapped in foil with water
thrown into the coals
cook thirty minutes
butter, salt
ahh!

Lifeless
I watched her final breath,
Her eyes never to open and the world will no longer see her beauty
Staring out the window an autumn leave swirl
and as the tears swept down my face
An empty husk with no person within
My life had just stopped too...

Ascend
Of the earth,
Mahogany hue,
Simple plan,
Swathed
In morning dew.
Unadorned husk,
Natural beauty dwells,
Radiant spells,
As encroaching dusk,
Dawn’s a new day,
Appendages beat their first,
Luster and splendor burst
And true colors
Ascend....

Guttural
Growl
Grasp at life
Flushed out in full flight
Wind's wild moaning warmth
Frisks it, whisked
Up
From fist clench
Fingers curled tense- tight
Unfurl hurts
Gasps
Of air rasped
Hoarse sounds break from husk
Gutted heart
Thumps

Life and Death
LIFE AND DEATH
The idea of death
The reality of death
Though close
In youth the two seem poles apart
Yet, as one gets older
As spirit slowly leaves the body
That husk – with lingering now mentality –
Reluctantly finds self uncomfortably squeezed
Between the two...

Pillar For My Foundation
Sun sets swiftly for lack of fuss
Insidiously dark after dusk
As I retire in a shelled husk
In contemplation of my fate
Lift me up high upon your shoulders
Height that awakens the beholder
My battleground goes soft and molders
I'm reassured it's not too late...
