Premium Member The Unfired Shot
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” ? Wayne Gretzky” Where courage sleeps, and doubt begins to bloom, There stands a chance, unseen, unheard, unknown. A fleeting moment, poised to meet its doom, Unless brave hands reach out and claim its own. For in the realm of dreams, where shadows play, And whispered fears may hold ambition fast, A single...

Premium Member Sure Shot
My voice protects human potential, I won’t walk down your road to failure; These words aren’t labeled confidential, they are perfume on me clean and pure. Walk away if you think I’ll downgrade, I am not some low model robot; Not gonna take the straw bed you made, I won’t suffer your distressing cot. My voice protects human potential, I won’t walk down your...

Premium Member The Pool Shark
The Pool Shark Double or nothing I go for the gold. I meet with the devil and sell him my soul. Content with the knowledge I will win it all. I let him guide me to the pool hall table. Dressed in my white suit with Panama hat. I stand with my cue and watch my sucker rack. As I line up my shot I hear bets exchanged. Their values...

Premium Member Shot Through the Heart
As I hear the familiar first line of an 80’s song I realize that is how I am feeling Pierced, gravely injured not in body, but in spirit I can’t make myself attend an exercise class when I need it so very badly but my spirit is injured and I just don’t have it in me right now to meet new people, and...

The Perfect Shot
I will lay my body down alongside yours in the green rustling grass I will line the freckles on your cheeks with watercolor paints and drip the sky in your shades and tones I will run in a line towars nothing but you I will kiss you as the dew evaporates from every single blade And I will hum...

V H S
In my mind, preoccupation Occurs from time to time. One example is me trying To make my words rhyme. Beside my creativity Exists a certain place... So, I introduce to you My video head space. Often, fragments of cinema Appear inside my head. These can be triggered at random Or thought of instead. Television was a mentor When I was much younger. Its visuals and soundscapes Would satisfy my...

Premium Member Shot Glass Of A Hood Rat Espinela
I’m a fan of that background sound, the world’s underlying rhythm; Life’s glass has a melodic rim amplified with every shot downed; To the sharps in the air I’m bound, it’s who I am I’m cool with that; The wallflower among chitchat, still I crave the quiet sometimes; In the moments that static climbs; solitude can calm a hood rat....

A Man Was Shot Outside My Suburban Home
Something about the new Stage behind the red swagger Green TVs, living that luxury Almost getting lost with the sullen Eagles lifted to heaven level Gray in the garden bed I’m painted yellow and Glowing like a scarecrow Angel among the dead heads Smoked up across America Smoked up in back yards, kitchens Bedrooms, smoked to heaven And hell and found a way...

Taking the Shot
The hunter is inside between the lens and its mirror where Zen masters prowl with high powered lights. The prey is sensed before it takes shape, otherwise you catch nothing. You are in the zone, mind locked on a digital trigger. Sometimes the whole world stampedes across your path, more often, a small curlicue of significance will trip a sensory wire, crosshairs will meet, then for an instant you disappear, as you...
