the toy ambulance
a kind relative gave him
I try to accept
but the siren goes hours and hours
more than even a god can bear
Pain and time
Are relatives of mine
Relative to us each
And each other
Or have you not noticed
Only a good life is short
Relative of the
Potato, tomato, is
The Wolf-berry shrub

At hospice my relative died
Let's rejoice the choices he tried
We could celebrate
His life that was great
But you continually cried
Babydoll shoes
in a split second clocking
the first mile of womanhood
for a relative too close for comfort
proximity is close enough
wanders among headstones in relative darkness - sun sweetens her lips

King of Hurly burly
sovereign of wrongdoings,
Shaman of harm,
relative of arrogance,
executioner of silence...
forget forever
a grumbling Fibonacci
time is relative
True relative of Jesus and Virgin Mary
St. Judas Thaddeus, a Cousin to Jesus Christ
Aiding mankind
For hopeless and desperate cases

Trump's MDs now searching the pool
Know organ transplant prolongs rule
For match perfection
Without rejection
His kidney must come from a mule
Frontier Man In Blood
Richard Boone,
Relative of Daniel Boone we presume,
Played a frontier man of a later time
Problem solving to earn a dime.
Relativity says go faster
And time travel backward you master.
But no tempting your fate
Making out with a date,
Cause kissing your dad’s a disaster.
RELATIVE DARKNESS
“can i have it all?”
shadow in the darkness speaks
“all my love... grandchild!”

senryu form
let me love you a little,
a little more than yesterday
and less than tomorrow
only time is relative,
with you, very short,
without you infinitely long.
("Exploded View", 2011, original oil)
Complicit in the Lie
Everyone you meet
Is complicit in the lie
That this is what’s real

Albert Einstein
did like to brashly on physics opine
but when told he could be so insensitive
he said, who cares, everything is relative
The falling stars invite--to make a wish
Beyond the infinite
Containing a definite
Dream that is not relative

(“Eye of the Beholder” detail, 2020, original encaustic)
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
But then again, so is everything else.

called Black Betty
she’s graceful
a rare beauty
still, quite a handful
she’s had her share
of adventure
and misadventure

What did we do with lonely laxative;
We would be giving it to a relative;
Create a storm,
In tablet form,
And now a loose life he loves to live.

The Room Drains...
The room drains to sepia.
A long distant relative
in a bowler hat,
smoking a pipe;
strokes your dog.
The one
on the couch.
True to all that surrounds our being
Relative to all creation
Universal in our understanding
There will never be another
Healing entity as thee

A palomino is to a horse
as a lead is to its source
If that makes sense to you
I'll ride the palomino
~ You ride the horse
A relative who used to be a good fit
Has evolved into something we must admit
Has a unique downside
Like a Jekyll and Hyde
Now if you give him a hand, it might get bit
There was a man with a shovel
Whose house was a relative hovel
Digs a hole in the floor
Think his dad was a boar
Cos he cant stop sniffing for truffle
