Apathy
I wrap my fingers around the pen which has lain dormant collecting dust for months on end feeling as if I'm lifting a fifty pound weight straining not just my joints but my brain, its neurons refusing to fire like the broken burner of a gas stove with a malfunctioning igniter fouling the air with noxious fumes as it fails to burst into blue...

Old Wood Stove
While in an antique shop, I came across a wood stove The cast iron, covered in rust, had seen better times I admired it as it stood within this vast treasure trove There's no doubt the antique worked well in its prime You rose early in the morning before the rooster crowed Gathering what you needed, like dried kindling or...

Premium Member Love Is Parading Around On the Stove
Love is parading around on the stove tonight Cooking beanie weanies for the likes of me. The smell makes me smile. And he makes me giddy. For fifty-five years I have been in love with this fifteen-year-old boy. He is grinning like a sailor who just fell off the back of a whale. He is seeing my dancing legs on the...

A Stove of Ash and Coal
Although it matters not anywhere else my heart crushes for what it knows better to have... I am overreacting and incapable of concluding the ordeal inside myself... I know how vain and futile such an allowance of mind into obsession is... Indeed a desperate man void of inspiration leaches on any hope... This inspires the fire within... Long a go...

The Thing In the Wall, Part 1
He's staring at me From the bricks of the wood stove With beady black eyes I read defiance I move and he scurries off I cannot catch him Brown little bugger Scratching around late at night Invading our home Keeping me awake How do I get my hands on you? Our cat's too lazy! Perhaps a nice trap? Tasty bit of poisoned cheese? A sharp carving knife? Our dull clumsy...

Crack In the Stove
Crack In The Stove Listen to the pine splits crack in the stove clouds down our roof like burnt pine, milk The smell of come in the shack A breeze on the wall from boiling tomatoes A baby snorts air while it sucks a tender breast it was time to put apricots out in the sun, cover them with cheesecloth Nothing but the whine of bad mud between the...

Wood Burning Stove Weather
While outside nor'easter howls like banshees vents temperature dips into low double digits fire breathing friendly dragon (cue Barney purple dinosaur) crackling hearth, yours truly snuggling close proximity warming, thawing, quelling... cockles and muscles atavistic visitations hover brushes within subconscious purring, mew zing catacombs kickstarting, harkening, dawning... *****sapiens lion eye zing forebears dormant memories thaw predators vastly outnumbered scattered goo goo dolls, and beastie boy bands recherché representatives toehold barely latched precarious niche easily activated evolutionary quirk imperceptibly bumped...
