A loving child sleeps

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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’
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"
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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
