A Closed Door

A door unopened
the knock
makes almost
no sound
so subliminal
is
the flimsy veil
of steel
that guards the answer.


War

thought wirrlin'
blood screamin'
steel flash
torn voice
armies clash
unmade choice
feet poundin'
trumpets soundin'

Loneliness

Inside I cry
behind steel eyes.
Against the wind
I feel that I
am all alone,
am all alone,
am all alone…
Goodbye

Upon the Steel Monkey Bars

on
sunday morning
on
the
inner-city playgrounds
even
the 
snow monkeys
get
entangled
upon 
the
steel monkey bars

A steel door of a teal store
Always wide open,

ask for steel
iron will be there 
like an old socket

a God granted

Following Them Home

Bars are letting out
Last El to south Chicago
Unrelenting rain
Eyes dripping with pure regret
Screaming steel guitar cries

so hot steel frame melts

From cold steel a breathless wife
