explodes like a powder keg
a deafening bang!

Be Careful What You Wish For
Stealing fire from the gods
Prometheus would yearn
And pass it off to humankind
whose banishment interred
Their feet into the glowing coals
but faith out from the dark
Enlightenment a powder keg
—uncareful wishing sparks
(The New Room: September, 2023)...

Queenie Meg
Queenie Meg went to Winnipeg
And she dropped off on a powder keg
But there near The Forks
Stood the megadorks
They said," She did it is for a gag"....

Powder Keg
Pieces of heat scatter and scorch
Over the orange rusted sky
Wildfire season has arrived
Dense and thick, stern charcoal
Eyes capture and deny
Relief's cool rain, as tongues of flames
Kindles tender clovers red
Eating clean the succulent
Green laced gentle ground.

The Union
Shards of tears
engrave memories
like a tattered glass
recalling years scarred by desire.
she went mountain climbing
too high, gasped, got
wedged like a pinched rose
then hoisted by a fish hook in the jaw.
he did 60 pills in 60 days
still uncured, he grabbed a feather
tickled a powder keg
and exploded.
this marriage was a crown of thorns....

Escape of Snow
ESCAPE OF SNOW
Snow shivers on heavy branches.
Lyrics of snowbirds awakens awe.
Bent back of pines — tortuous cane.
Wheelbarrow weighted down with snow.
~
After storm comes avalanches,
Power outage and blackbird caw.
Powder keg of snow from yonder pane.
Eyes mesmerized ~ life travels slow.
~
For Winter, I hold… no disdain.
This reprieve: there’s no grass to mow.

The Powder Keg Is Ready
The powder keg is ready
Explosives readily available
But he wants something more personal
So they know it is him
He needs to see their horror
Feel their terror
Enjoy it
Maybe he felt bullied at work
Maybe he is completely insane
No doubt he felt alone in this workplace
For I think if he had felt the presence of one friend
There is no way he could have killed so many co-workers
with a semi-automatic assault rifle
He would have been fearful of
killing his friend....
