SQUIRREL
the winter squirrel
eyes bright twitching
has come to be fed
happiness
one large english walnut

The dance of dances as he swung:
his twitching legs a rhythmic fight,
as choking, gasping, praying hard,
he danced into eternal night.

Rhyme
Pointed like fingers
At heaven; ears twitching in
Song— rise of a voice
At dawn, torn within;
Footsteps go; clovers after—
A kiss on bled palm.

She lies sleeping at my feet
eyes closed, outstretched legs
twitching, mouthing small yips
and I wonder what she is chasing
and if she ever catches it

Through turquoise houses
curtain nets a twitching
Ladies trousers wistful
maybe tomorrow a change
I am the breeze
cool as beaches
promenades are seen for miles

fly lands on my notebook
is this a hello?
does he want his own missive?
I can see his tiny wings
and his twitching face
I continue to write
he flies off, satisfied

Head stretched
ever still
he watches squirrles in the trees
wishing he could climb
not even an offer
of bone or water
can pull his eyes away
nose twitching
....someday....

Gazing at the ditch,
It's not a switch!
Sending rumps into the air,
They've spotted something over there!
Ready to pounce,
Tails twitching in the air.

Poem that is written with each gentle kiss
Music I play twitching the corners of my lips
Art brush paint four magnum opus till death
Final one I will whisper with my dying breath

Epitaph
the tulip tree tosses petals
to the dying maple tree
tree cutting men and chain saw converse
leaving stumps ...of words
a twitching, gray squirrel cusses....
the tulip tree has lost its mate

don't sip the stream the orange king roared
but his warning went largely ignored
the water was tainted with crocs
the big ass died right on the spot
cat tail twitching from the reddening shore

Beard bent over his walking stick
each step cautious
twitching side to side
left hand trembling, along for the ride
Tapping out the narrow path every morn
to the place his soul was reborn

Dark thoughts twitching on a nightstand.
Wrinkled -bloated-bloodied.
Like an ancient boxing glove.
Powerless-broken-longshot.
A dead sea scroll- smoldering.
In the chambers of a burned-out heart.

your green twitching legs
making music in the grass
not so silently
pinging out at me
and sticking to my shoulder
reacting too late
dive into the grass
your enormous hiding place
i smile at your stealth

She must have gotten into the cat nip.
She's whirling around the house.
Like she's being chased
by the ghost of her friend.
She's finally settled in
atop of the concrete couch...
twitching like a whiskered star.

Cat
Napping
At my feet
Dreaming of mice
Muscles twitching fast
You should be resting now
But instead you are chasing
Running as fast as you can go
Excited, you almost have him now
What will you do when you catch him? I ask.

There is a young man called Alan Sprocket
Always has both hands in his pocket
Said it keeps him calm and warm
So why is he a twitching form
As though his fingers were in a socket

Big dirty globe
Experiment
Gone awry
Ignored
Hoping
Spinning
Needing, grasping
Spinning
Alone
Spinning
Hating, killing
Spinning
Ignored
Spinning
Dying, waning
Spinning
Gasping
Spinning
Twitching, freezing
Spinning
Dying
Spinning

So tired
Ready to hit the sack
I lay there restless
Legs twitching,
Arms moving in mid-air
A sudden jolt and I'm completely awake
There is no sound in our house,
No lights on
Only the sound of moving traffic on state route 66
So why can't I sleep?

Squirrels in trees
foraging for nuts.
Raiding bird feeders,
filling their huts.
Fat gray ones seen,
moving in struts.
Loudly chattering,
with twitching butts!

Time drips down
The small of his back
Red streaks fill broad shoulders
Legs shake with
Paralyzing frustration
Twitching with hunger
The world stops
Relief rushes to fill
The space of need
Musk and sweat fill
The air
Barely masking the morning sun rise

Flying Sailing Soaring
Crying Laughing Roaring
Itching Twitching Scratching
Planning Plotting Hatching
Hustling Bustling Tussling
Day and night, night and day
Set aside each segue for a kiss
Recess, you can't afford to miss

lightning,
in its midst
whirlwinds whirl
writhing
rising
binding
hissing
twitching:
lightning
blitzing
this night
tingling
spitting
striving
hiding
from
windchill

winds
diminish

Fractious feline
sensuously stretching,
languorously lying,
soporifically slumbering
(monocularly monitoring).
Meandering mouse!
Tail twitching...
tautly tensing...
Predatory pounce!
Salubriously surfeit!

Irreparable brain damage,
concussion,
you have a brain tumor:
end of discussion.
You translate silence
with morse code,
twitching finger,
blank picture frame
in the mind's eye,
but do you see
or hear
or feel,
when we grasp your hand-
O, you the broken one,
you the motorcycle-flung.
