In A Corner of The Garden

...

That small corner
of the garden has been
in the shade since May -
this morning the sun 
has made it back 
and lit the dark
with a single taper of light
as if giving winter notice
that spr...

THE PEPPERMAN AND HAMMER THE KITTY

...
   I OPENED A DOOR IN THE UNIVERSE 
   AND WAS GREETED BY A SPEAKING
   CAT.

   HE INTRODUCED HIMSELF AS
   HAMMER THE KITTY.
   ABOUT 2 FEET LONG AND SOLID
   BLACK APPROXIMATELY 12 POUNDS...

So Much To Lose

...With a look in the mirror I see
I'm as round as a bumble-ing bee.
          Having so much on show
          (yes, wherever I go)
a tri-kini I'll need at the sea

Though some people may say tha...

Reaching Out

...When I'm in doubt
You'll see me reaching out
It's not for clout
It's words that I tout

I'm afraid of the debtor
But I try to do better
I want to be a record setter
Like a real go getter

Raving, Raving; the Tides Receeding

...Here I am,


In the first fling of youth-

In what sterile field did I find this anti-fecund missive?

This stretching of a hand, drenched in rubbery black; accompanied by a smell; a sewing, c...

The Flowers Collab

...I hear the spring in the rustling of blooms
I gasp and snort your beautiful perfumes
Oh, spring your hidden wangle taper trees
Convey me all you've revealed to the seas

This Book

...You are the author of this book
The words, sentences, paragraphs, and chapters 
Write well, and fear and procrastination do unhook 
So this book, your book, can dwell hereafter

Ratiocination Reversal

...Is life itself merely a matter of perspective?
Does cogitation dwarf the poet's reflexive?
If only my words could spread across the paper.
Build a punter world faded from a barren tape...

Childhood Games and Paper Planes

...I watched in awe as he sailed them aloft.
When they crash landed, I never scoffed
nor did I laugh when they hit the ceilings
for that would've hurt the pilot's feelings.

Stacks of paper were a ...

Ergonomic Position

...Tensing, and about to move,
Clouds hover twisting with hoof, 
Lingo parapentes this flush body: 
Hurling shavings’ stop the prove.

A whale, psycho or streetlight:
Moss convenes the hefty trus...

The Diner

...Hang a left, clunker rocking
on sprung shocks.
Inside,
narrows taper to booths.
The place is slow-time empty.

The staff talk is griddle speech,
a blow by blow banter,
middle finger smarts mi...

Angry Moments

...Sometimes it emerges, often buried 
Surfaced through various triggers
A match lights the taper 
Feelings of helplessness, like grass bent in an uncontrollable wind
Then at a step too far, a push ...

Saving Grace

...When empty bubbles of stillness brimmed the place
Upon an emerald carpet of meads, she genuflected with gathered grace
Of languished bones and reverence plucked from nunhood hearts.
Mighty potenta...

Stillborn

...Stillborn
Still dead
Still arms, legs,
And a head
Still eyes open
Spoken 
Still ripped from utero
Still time to go
A dream instead
From cells molded
Knees folded
Named like me
