Thelma:SIDS
It was evening when you went away,
I wondered where did you go.
While your twin sister was left cooing,
and playing with her toes.
Come along kids they told us,
don’t worry, nothing is wrong.
But I saw the tears on their cheeks,
as they hurried us along.
I heard them say you gave no warning,
no crying or gasping for a

Hey Thelma
When I see you I see a rose
A flower from God from what you have shown
Your hello has that certain style
It says “I know you, we can talk a while”
We share certain things
That brought us together
Needless to say it wasn’t the weather
If I need to see you
It doesn’t take being clever
I just open my mouth

Thelma and Leanne
"Thelma and Leanne"
prophecies arrived
in dreams that
washed across
the soul in waves
messages were
found like code
hieroglyphic
glitches
written on the walls
of electric caves
by strange poets,
some considered witches
there,
light and dark
rapturously
co-existed
we never slept
inside our minds
we communed
with strange gods
always awake
we became
the starlight
in their eyes
the words -
terribly egregious
erupted surreptitious
and orgasmic
from

My Aunt Thelma
Her knowledge of faith's right
in essence, not contrite
she spoke with rigors heralding
not jarring to incite!
On her my trust could lean,
a family in-between,
I loved her for her fairness sight
without a trace of learned respite!
I missed her, now and then
I'd call her, when I can,
when learning of her now demise
a sadness helped me realize ~
She'll never come

Nobody Loves Thelma Lou
In a secluded part of the old schoolyard,
She sits alone,and crying hard.
After all, what's a girl of six supposed to do
When she believes no one loves Thelma Lou?
Alone, next to the phone, on a Friday night;
Not a single boyfriend in sight.
A week til the prom, and she feels so blue.
It's so evident that nobody
