PIDGIN ON THE ROOF-~PIDGIN ON THE ROOF
Holler ya voice git down
Talk to me roost, nest, and dance.
Talking rooftops their height, providing a safe vantage point
Speak out potential threats moral sources.
Rest of the outside world understands not their voices
Roofs offer shelter from elements speaking nooks and crannies.
Speak compassion commandment reactions they ain’t no Jim Dandy

The salt staircaseI climb a staircase of salt
toward a memory
that never took shape.
Each step dissolves
into a mist of thought,
and above,
I am but a drop
in a dreaming cloud....

Iron VeilTruth be told, or is it so,
Is strength bronze or tin?
Forever mystery lies so,
In this transcended kin.
Beneath the rust, a fragile heart,
Iron weeps, its strength apart.
A veil of secrets, shadows loom,
Where truth’s enigma finds its tomb.
In fragile echoes, whispers call,
Uncertainty befalls, thoughts of chanciness.
As ready minds begin to fall,
A second thought of unsureness.
Though some say...

Night out at the carnival
We walk, hand in hand , we talk ~
cotton candy and caramel apples,
music, rides and fanfare,
sounds of joy and laughter in the air.
Let the festivities commence:
flashing lights and chaos,
screams and giggles,
rides and arcade games.
The carnies are hyped up
with their wiles and guiles
to entice us in all ways.
Summer is not complete 'til
we’ve had our fun at...

The Eulogy 1994 to The EndI am here for a short time
Sadly luckily my time has come.
I am not sick or anything.
But death is close to me all at once and suddenly.
I felt his breath all around me
I fear I am dead; I gave up on me.
None of you really did believe in me
You...

Egregiously Misplaced Mercy
When you force Mr. Zelinsky
to feed the Putineers who’ve bulldozed Ukraine.
That’s when I’ll pressure Israel
to give Hamas’ Gazastanis more grain

Mid-Laughter and LightsThe flickering light as if fireflies' laughter echoes the summer air.
Rides spun dizzying merry-go-round!
Can't wait for more minutes ahead.
A thrill to feel is here to stay around.
Sweaty palms with ticket stubs hold,
With sugar thrill laced in fingers unfold.
Plastic pouches filled with goldfish, plushies all around soon waiting for your sure win!
Come on, let's join the...

The Wormhole Wore a Waistcoat
She entered unannounced; no bell, no brass. The aperture, a bureaucratic lapse in Nature’s accounting, permitted transit for the curious, not the wise. Through corridors of warped conjecture, she drifted—unclaimed luggage of a thought experiment. Each particle bowed with procedural discipline; each law maintained protocol under duress.
The stars retracted their nominations, preferring anonymity to metaphor....

Beachfront wonderland
at the miracle of low tide
in the glitter of an afternoon
the sun bestows its magic
on every grain of sand
and seashells come out
to play and sunbathe
the beach enchanted
with awe and whimsy

Echoes of Liminal Lightthey slither down the long halls
coiling thoughts like vine-sharp calls
calm defies
walls lean in with breathing cracks
truth waits, but never walks back
you flicker—don’t ask why
their whispers rise like flood and tide
but roots hold beneath the lie
you break—and light slips quietly by...
