Smog
Nebulous malignancy
Choking the city
Threatening residence; foul fugitive

One mans carcinogenic idea
Invade Ukraine amputate Crimea
But the tumour keeps growing 
Now his sick cancer’s showing 
A malignancy called North Korea!

Mortality



Morning snowfall brings his
Moist eyes one last hurrah.
Moon-flowers and blue jays,
Meandering in step.
Malignancy strides moan
Meekest as his saviors
Mourn before it all melts.

Like an open wound
That won’t heal
The current political situation
Bleeds out…
A hemorrhaged polarization
Inside a malignancy of lies
Draining our spirits
  —of all life giving faith

A cameo-
  after the chemo.
Are you sure, it was a tumor.

          *

    A black hole
 in my bones, gulping 
    all the pain.

          *

    You were buried 
alive in the wall of patches.
    Stitch by stich.

benign, behind a shrouded wall
waiting for a chance to come forth

it flows from lips, parted to kiss
eyes, half closed in slumber
it takes over my dreams
until it seems...
a malignancy
without glimmer of hope...

When love grows cold
Puzzled and confused we grieve
Like a malignancy spreads
Deadly deception
Manifests astounds derails
Emotions self-pride riot
Rushing into defense mode

Like chemo exhausts
Worn drained the storm clouds gather
Advice abundant
Blind dates rejected
Remission slowly ensues
Indifference born...
