Good To Go
Late one star-crossed summer's night
when I'd had more than enough
and only just in case
I was packing all my hard-won stuff
accumulated over more than several years
up to my ears there was indeed a lot of it
squashing jamming squeezing cramming
all in all a quite tight fit
as my entire worldly goods left in a taxi with me
something I

Squeezing Blackbirds
Blackbirds have gathered in your eyes
feeding on canyon shadows throughout time
growing plump on imperfection-self doubt
you must fight-hard and long with great resolve
because they're persistent and loud.
Grab hold of them one by one
squeeze until your palms fill
with silence and blood.
Toss the concoction off to the side.
Walk a path of white stones
into the garden of life..
Now,

Who liked to eat his hotdogs with ketchup

Began squeezing full throttle

Crudely Squeezing
Crude
Fate hurts sight
In grim light
As proud flight
Rude
Blush
In view plain
Prompts disdain
In raw pain
Rush
Soft
Raw flesh feels
A harsh will
That now bills
Loft
Pain
In plain rush
Seeds deep blush
In full gush
Stain
Come
To know well
That fond dwell
On harsh tell
Sums
Space
For lewd talk
To thus stalk
A last walk
Face
Mind
Out of sync
Outlives think
On verge brink
Blind
Place
Ripples fear
In lost cheer
As wet tears

Squeezing Out
The falcom rises again.
With pointed wings.
For a name unknown,
that deemed an incendiary.
Falconer sits faraway.
Cliché. The offence goes
unnoticed. Your shirt

The Squeezing of the Stone
dad waited 8 years
to tell him that
cancer had infiltrated his body---
dad waited 8 years to tell him that
he had done anything about it---
dad had to stop working &
when he put money in the market
under close supervision of someone
whom he thought would help him out,
the whole ****ing thing
collapsed,
like the house of playing cards that it
