Sk-3

Expectation's a sure path to pain  
First we cover our gaps with dreams
And let them dreams grow within
Tall, thick and feasible
Turning to purpose
Then obsession
That thwarted
Maddens,
Hurts.

On New Shores

Lovely is the sound of water
Lapping on the teeth of Pelee
Island shores, when lanced on its
Crests thrusts some ferry's horn—the knell,
Some tarnished brass bell (I have heard)
Maddens beneath it, and breaks apart,
The rhythm of marching water.

Hmm? the Grey Nightmare

Horrific hound’s horrid hair     					            
Holding human hatred 					          
Haggardly hawk hones hooks 					            
Harping harlot’s whoring  haze					               
Mean mares manes maddens mind 				         
Marauders mane my mainstay  					            
Mobility moored most menacing

Westport Wnter

Westport Winter

Dull 
same as outside
costly lamps are lit
while we waited
they leave with bags
tepid lipstick'd 
cups, coffee stained 
saucer dereliction
They'll fetch cars 
before tickets run out
raining now
a gauze curtain
to make headlights dance 
like Salome
Performances
outside Maddens bar
and rain tick-tocks a rhythm 
on umbrella's

tonight is jazz

tonight i'm dancing;
fire in the bones
and a fury on my mind.
you can catch me
twirling the hips fiercely
feeling for every roll and cranny

i am love tonight

such passion,
such passion i breathe
i exhale doubts
i exhale a cold heart

i breathe in the revolution.

oo the rhythm coats me
with a desire that maddens
i want to make love to me so badly
feel her quiver gently.

may a new life begin tonight;
that is the way.


What Are We?

When winter winds have withered stubble,
Mother Mary maddens me,
whispering words of wonder:
what are we?

I find the farm a fraction futile,
loving life in Larame:
take the truck to Tucson, Tina
or Tracy, Tennessee.

Aardvarks are mere armadillos,
such as subtle souls can see:
pecans suck for plumping pillows:
chambermaids are chowder-free.

Santa Clara’s not a state,
a splurge is not a spree:
Grindr Graham isn’t straight:
Superior ain’t no sea.
