Make America great again!
Dump your neighbours in a trash bin!
Hang kids in cages!
Scrub names from pages!
Its never a sin when we win!...

You're just a badly drawn character
Made of pencil led and paper 
I could crumple you 
Toss you in the trash bin
But I color you in
I give you some skin
And now I've got a friend...

Do you know
many things
understanding
not one

Portending 
your weakness
pretense
on the run

The trash bin
of knowledge
refills
left unchecked

Pontificate
dirges
spout off
— to infect

Sire, hire or fire
Slots now retire


Too many daze
Upon mad craze


Loss in sure win
Joy in trash bin


If fool knows best
Purge then odd quest


Time dies again
With new stab pains


Space beyond grace
Shows ugly face


Plate in sure date
Error funds fate

So much noisy garbage going around: 
empty words, 
empty conversations, 
empty excitement, 
empty goals, 
empty objections, 
empty recommendations, 
empty decorations without guts. 
Noise for the sake of the Dirty Politics. 
Recycled, sensationalizing, fake news.
Cycled storing of energy in a void -
In a trash bin of the abyss....

Old Scribe

Dry and pointed, it bleeds nothing. 
Scratch, scratch, scratch, it tears the paper.
Clang, it hits the bottom of the trash bin.
She frowns and retrieves it. 
Licks the end and dabs the well.
The knobby fingers gracefully draw it across the page. 
It bleeds freely in the eloquent strokes on the parchment.

You cannot ever stand me,
I cannot stand you,
You are not like me,
You are everything I need,
You are everything I am not.
Thanks for sweeping my heart away,
Make yours the trash bin,
And keep only mine in there.
Bend it, you can mend it,
Tear it, if you want to keep it
Forever jigsawed.
This feeling is not from the archives.

out of habit, i
fingered the sand-colored bowl

after guests grappled
with paper plates

i, with Cabernet
dark eyes at dinner time

shame, shame
on me

my conscience
lowers my bowl into the sink
like a titanic lifeboat
wavering.

the solitary vessel
shamefully 
alone

meanwhile paper plates
press on
in the trash bin heap

i bid you your distance
allow you to fall
into the trash bin
as a slice of apple
that caused your gums to bleed

have a love fallen into you
deeper than mine?

that man you loved is dead
and did not take you to his grave
while i stay alive,
for years i can escape death by longing.
in heaven, i am waiting.

eve, i am still your loyal snake,
loves you for as long as god lives....

Look in a mirror and see who you are

Left on your skin is one big scar 

Meant to remind you of the day

You tried to put yourself away

Showing others of your sins 

Making you look like an ungodly trash bin 

Acting as a repellent to your happiness

Surrounded by people and their plentifulness

An ugly thing you wear like a crown 

Look in the mirror, it's called a frown

much like a squeezed up toothpaste tube,
no knotted nothing left in you, 
just emptiness tightly twisted.

much like a beer can flattened down
and out on the highway pavement
by truck tires again and again.

much like your tattered, denim jeans,
dry and faded and with large holes
cruelly ripped,  torn at the knees.

much like crumpled paper,  tossed out
and away into the trash bin,
useless, totally forgotten.

not made out of stuff
soft skin to touch
cry because you are a perfect girl
1% role model for a world

please cry... dont hurl
you are becoming to perfect for me
i cant stand you
your bodily greed

you thin as a pin
you start to look at me...
as a trash bin
and your progression...
sickens me

loves in a brown apple core
goodbye i dont know you anymore
i walked out her dried up garden
she lost and lost her stardom...

Colorado rain thought sunshine was safe
Behind the trash-bin in plain sight
Time to move asleep again safe again
Waiting for ice new years eve never trust
                                                                 The rain

At midnight

Cactus holds moisture near my bay leaf tree
Metal moon circles the angel nymph
Brocade lamps march into the future

Wind increases as road shine turns slick
Welcome Minnesota winter?

Was it my fault
you lost your diamond earrings?
You said so.

A dozen hotel mornings,
packing again,
trying to meet itinerary deadlines
tightly coiled, breathless
hungover.

I might have scooped them
into a hotel room trash bin
in Rome, Geneva, Paris, or London;
you drop them anywhere,
or you may have left them
in one of a dozen vacated bathrooms.

Not that I am accusing you.
Try to relax, we are fully insured
for unforeseen eventualities
including divorce....
