Untitled
Because the wind swaggers like
the swaying pendulum blade,
I can tell that the trees suffer too,
when their dew drips like tears
as they flourish horizontally on the ground....

I do not know?
Oh, Joy! At the Night Sky
Oh, joy! at the night sky
And the wonder it declares.
How flirtatious! How they flare –
The many stars on high!
There's Castor and Pollux
And Rigel and Betelgeuse
And look! – Aldebaran bids adiós
As he swaggers west....

Hubris
...for Sylvia Plath
White wisps in
killing glow
dissolve.
Whiteness
won't absolve her;
arctic and stark
it wills her ill.
She's hollow,
assured of
missing
opportunities.
She swaggers
in darkness,
alone in her lordliness....

Reflection
Reflection
Staggering out of the maze
his mind still swaggers
Mustering up his wit
he shored up his faith
Sulking his present state
he craves this cringing hope
Bemoaning the looming darkness
he detest this fate
Yearning for a reprieve
he is caught
napping on the trail

The Last Lap
The Last Lap
Ignorance and fire
now common partners
lying on a restive bed
The night now owns the day
as the day now basks
in opaque blackness
The burnt-out embers
scattered to the wind
now reassembles with kindling flame
Great hopes and dreams
flashing through the phase
now swaggers in as lost sleep and mirages

The Bear and the Ballerina
grizzly grazing a meadow
pretending not to notice the dancer
wind shifting-it stands horribly- tall
sniffs the air
pivots nonchalantly
methodically swaggers
appetite enhanced
moment ignited
by the ancient guide
it charges-bloody eyed
stomping the meadow blossoms
it swats at the dancer
again -again and again
as she flits toward the cliff
brute tumbling over
to its cold slag death
ballerina dancing
over the screaming crag...

The jingle jangle man
Here comes the jingle jangle man
Who struts and swaggers he is his biggest fan
He doesn’t want anyone to be
Better than he himself you do see
He schemes at things behind your back
Don’t tell him your secrets or he will hack
Them making you look bad
In the end you’ll feel sad
As he walks with hands in pockets
Jingle jangle hear the racket
Take heed of his noise then
Don’t converse thinking he is a friend.
