No Better Picture

No picture can match
As a little face twitches
A loving child sleeps

Poker

your hand not tipped
playing your cards close to your chest
stoic, no twitches or tremors
never betraying
what you hold
I lay down the queen of hearts

Fingertips

You take me right back again
If only it was that easy
Your touch radiates my body
The shakes
The twitches
One day it will all be right
And hopefully no fear

Allience With the Enemy?

Of vampires and witches
Oh how the eye twitches!

Come to the Lord
Peace you can afford

The devil's not life that's real
I would rather have the Holy Ghost's seal!

Fetched

A hand twitches to throw a stick. Dumb to wait for a stick that has not been thrown or cannot now be fetched. The silence that returns is called: no dog.

Visitation

After work,
drinking in a matchbox bar in Shimbashi,
waiting for a sign...

The noren twitches.
A hand appears between the flaps.
An eye assesses the interior,

and is gone.

Swabbing My Nose

Swab
inside 
my nose
presses, swirls. Twinges,
twitches, runs like it’s bleeding.
I wait in lobby, till rest home screener
smiles. “Negative! Good to go!”
Grandmother, I only
do this
for 
you!

Strange Bum Noises

Please don't do that, it's really quite weird Don't make those noises, it twitches my ears Reminds me of Dracula Or an angry tarantula Emitting strange shrieks from the end that's rear

No Dog

My hand twitches to throw a stick. It’s dumb to wait for a stick that has not been thrown or cannot now be fetched, yet I do for a little while; the silence that returns is called: no dog.

Facial Twitches

On his face is the smirk
     of a tired barn owl,

like a ***** cross between
     a frown and a scowl;

most expressive is the skewed
     side of his mouth

that's now sliding down a few
     pissed degrees south!

Fire of Verde

Verde chases for his meal

A
Trodden over clovers
Robin
An oriole flickers up
Red
Beating down the grass
Breast
A cardinal darts away
Twitches
A streak of lightening flashes
Until
The last bluebird bursts
Death

Above

Thunder arrives. 
Occult spacecraft hurl giant underbellies of sound 
downward -
                    galvanize grouting.

A thud on the roof,
broken feathers flop.

An electric pause,
                       time twitches on.

Outcast

eccentric she was
socially awkward
somewhat paranoid
with bizarre twitches
not mixing in
an outcast 
of her own doing
a square peg
in a round hole
not fitting in

With a Whisper

in the tall summer grass
sun burnt earth smell
sisters run about
but I am hidden and still
they cannot see me.
softly I pat the dog
her head on the ground
in the game
she knows to be still be her tail tip
twitches
she's ready to spring
with a whisper.

Doppelganger - Contest

In the darkness she lies still, 
Her closed eyes do feel my stare
Each breath she takes fills my lungs
Her thoughts, our minds, run

Her fears flood right through my veins
She twitches and turns for me
She is me and I am her
Our hearts beat as one

'Smarty-pants'

    ‘smarty-pants’
       too big for his britches

    kept his audience
       in virtual stitches

    on the road from rags to riches
       ran into some unforeseen glitches

    courtesy of parents' old-fashioned switches
       'smarty-pants’ derriere throbs and twitches

Gerryatrics

"Gerryatrics"


She can do sumbersalts 
Leg splits and twisted 
Twitches but doesn't 

Need to be 
An acrobat

As a matter 
Of fact it's 
Exactly 

That that 
I admire 


She has 
A laugh 
That's 

Exactly 
Where

It's at
And is
Where

It's I suppose 
Supposed 

To be

Cat In the Sun

Between the sun and the top of a garden wall, drapes a marmalade rug, now momentarily stiff legged as it stretches. Sparrow gossip twitches ears, neck rises, eyes squint under half-closed lids. The drowsy head slumps. Paws dangle as fluent as light, as heavy as contentment.

Beyond the Glass

her tail twitches

her throat constricts with strange sounds

just beyond the glass

the wild birds in flight taunt her
 
the caged bird looks on amused





*Honey, the cat, sits at the window making strange, threatening
noises at the birds outside. ignoring the love bird in a cage less than a foot to her left

Let Him Explain

She wore uncertainty on her shoulder
    hesitation held back her shoes
  Twitches split her left forearm
    these emotions seeped into their news

  Let him explain, she considered
    nerves of steel need not preparation...
  In the pit of a parental boardroom
    one word ~ eloped ~ sealed their doom

Robin Red-Breast Alights

robin red-breast alights
winter welcomes that odd prancing
pale sun nods; robin twitches, smiles
hungry beak pecks away
worm wonders why, what the rush is

Self Adhesive Glue

twitches belie pressure, nerve endings fray ~ in shock from the exposé 

love child appears out of the blue ~ dna sticks tight, unlike cheap screw

damage done, tied is the splice ~ heat of the moment has balls in a vice

prenuptial’s void, tightening grip ~ busted now, far too late for that snip

The Red Sound

When the speeding van
smacked into the woman
the sound shook a ghost in his mind.

He looked up.
surprised by the red rain.

Crazy death snaps like a turtle
on the wet road,
twitches into quietus.

Later he learned
that several people had seen
the thud
as it struggled to speak
as an impact
that echoed on and on.

Graceful the Pose

How graceful the swan’s pose that circles a quay Her elegant plumes flitting away, To dance as night-tide approaches When furled gait twitches, In a bold Pose! Stars behold This charm like a rose, As waltzes on tides enclose The bloomed poses of her last display. How graceful the swan’s pose that circles a quay.
