A baby is born
Two dates separated by hyphen

One day one, or both, will die

We are born -
We learn; even think deep thoughts -
And die....

Six Die Faces
Listen to poem:
One, a hole, a dot, a singularity
Two, twin dots of eyes that look back at me
Three, an ellipsis falling short tersely
Four, connect-the-dots to make a square, shapely
Five a quincunx, criss-crossed diagonally
Six, a double hyphen of dots, two lines of three...

The Final Stone
Beneath this engraved stone I forever rest,
all my pain has vanished,
all my worries are long gone,
all the tearful goodbyes have dried up.
I am now a polished piece of rock;
a hyphen, a small dash, represents my entire existence...
I tried so hard to be so much more.
Take loving care of what I have become.

Ode To the Hyphen
In days of old so I’m told Theodore Roosevelt did explain he had no use for the hyphen in any American name.
And now one can see how the hyphen such a tiny grammatical mark has pushed us apart.
We are all Americans who may hail from distant shores but now this is our home worth protecting and fighting for.
Do not let the hyphen define you ,where you once were is now behind you.
Let us join together one and all for we are Americans...

Apostrophe
You are my life's apostrophe
The part that has always been missing in me
You're right where the hyphen used to be-
You are my life's apostrophe
Once a question mark was all I had?
And commas dominated my soul,
Semicolons; separated my dreams
And the ellipse was firmly in control...
Then you placed your brackets around my [heart]
Your braces around my {soul}
Your parentheses surround my (dreams)
You're the exclamation mark in my life so droll!...

Unyielding
Sexism was chasing a
gibbous moon whole night.
I ask the virtuous dark,
will you be a hangman ?
Targeted love was a bliss
for a dying man. You need
to walk on a fine line to
attain the liberation.
Despite the coveted prize,
killing was more convenient.
There hangs a tale, you
cannot play the tune again.
Without the hyphen, the
other side becomes blue.
A belief starts the tremors
in the sleeves of a headless moon.

Parameters
where does the line we draw
begin
is it somewhere behind
or before;
is it between us
lost in the tangle we step
inordinate
to be
within the line?
what a jagged jig we jag
among a potpourri
that of
tin cans and broken branches.
we kick to clear
our way
sometimes skimming
sometimes skipping.
lost and crazy
it seems
crossover, crossover, crossover
because we draw the line.
how 'bout a hyphen?...
