Never meant to last, but now,
Only a matter
Of whether I can truly
Outlast seeming cast aside....

Wretched spiders and their webs

To say that the path is rough,
Or the course is way too tough,
Is not an excuse
To be a recluse

And said to be quite a recluse.
Fleet-footed, it seems
It's only in dreams
You'll capture a moose on the loose!

Recluse at Coney


how does one handle
nude on the beach
extremities starfished
almost asleep
how does one handle

Listen to poem:

I’ve become
a hermit
a recluse
an introvert
almost content
in my refuge

a public recluse;

Running from who he was,
Afraid to face who he sees,
This travelled with him,  
He was devastated,
He sought to be a recluse.

I lock the door
            to the world on occasion...
            but I don't recluse myself
            inside...
           I just concede myself refuge
            for a while... !...

Became A Recluse

Some gave up by saying what is the use;
Went into hibernation becoming a recluse;
We much hatred,
For what he did;
Trying to come up with a perfect excuse.

A black widow?
(Quick shudder)
A brown recluse?
Lurking in shoes.
Red Rover, Red Rover,
one bite and it's over?
No just a half inch "noir"
on her way to the car,
children at home
alone....

In a dark alley; eating peaches, pears and plums
Awful friendly with hysteria
You should hear his jokes and his stereo
A self-induced recluse whom on a weary whim
Decided it was best he read the clues again...
