Moonlit Cane Tango

...Under a silver grin of moon, he shuffles past the tide, 
 His cane clicks like Morse code—C-A-N-E, not C-A-N-T—in stride. 
 Salt air tames his hair around the balding head, still stubbornly spry,

Endless Ecstasy

Up the delicate dale 
of latticed life,
at esoteric edge 
of sinking sky,
hermit horizon

as paled passion
disappears desiccated
with the setting sun.

In cracked cin...

Boogeyman

...Feet patter through the leaves of the oak wood
Her breaths frantic blond hair bent back 
Stops swivels and pivots seeing all she could
Body sways and she prays for air to catch
Then she see it lu...

Autopilot

...
His own voice
talks over his head,
as if he were not there.

The load car radio
plays distant music.
Without thinking,
he changes channels,

Black and White

...Contrast of cupcakes
decorated with vanilla frosting
and Spring flowers.

A New York City girl -
I say girl, she’s eighty-five,
yet she swivels those hips; and her lips
are flaming cherub swor...

Snow

...
Whiter than white 
frozen water crystals surround the air 
snow packed mountains 
building up quickly, for my eyes to see  

A snowflake begins to form 
a cold water droplet freezes 
onto a ...

Platitude Plateau

...

Up the delicate dale 
of latticed life,
at esoteric edge 
of sinking sky,
hermit horizon 
shimmers sensuous,
glows paled passion. 

On convolute contours 
of scrambled dream,

The Magnus Effect

"The Magnus Effect"

A whole life in a deck of cards
dealt across the table
in front of the brutally dismissive,
the fortunes of the war worn read
translated glamorous...

Forbode of Wilderness

...Deposited, held in Amazon's Adonis arms
    Hidden inhospitably stashed, kite shadow 
    Curled furtive, stairway stupefied windshield
    Hallucinations lag languished in amusement

The Joker

...The spotlight flashes funny flair 
on the showy sagged dress,
miniature crimson cold sun stuck 
on the puckered porcelain face.
An animated caricature captured
in comical frail human fig...

They Run For Elvis Purse Lee

...He swivels his hips and the felines come running
I am not one of them, I am balcony sunning.
I watch them howl at his gyrations and grinds.
He is such a tease; and he attracts all kinds.

Garden Shadows

...Time bears signs to be indicating something sinister.
Hence, the world sustains, as usual, oblivious finisher. 
An epoch passed; cannot heave it from the dead. 
Clocks implore us to...

Ventriloquist

...Wooden mouth eats word and threat. 
Frozen eye stares through vaudeville glaucoma.
The master is mimicked, masked, and mocked.

Doll tuxedo stretched from neck to crotch.
Head swivels to whiplas...
