Fool
...Maybe I am a fool.
a fool like you,
believing in heaven
from inside the zoo.
The bars between us

saving you from a time

Beyond the Realm of Wishes
...Beyond the Realm of Wishes
In sun-scorched dunes
beside a weathered sentinel
a glint ensnared his weary gaze.
A tarnished lamp /
grazed / its secrets unknown /
a genie unbound....

Wind lowers it's head-stream, earthbound,
battle helmet of direction-secured.
True Hermes holding a riddled scroll, temperature, tempered, phalanx wall to litmus count the cull.

BEFORE I WAKE
...Now I lay me down to sleep
In my home that's really sweet
Had three large meals and a snack
There wasn't a hint of any lack
Comfortable shoes and clothes that fit
My heart's desires my money can...

Sunrise Over Sodom
...A steel sky, wan and dull, littered
With ragged clouds and
bitter dregs of a world girding for
Sleep
But no rest
by day, draws a frame over grim roofs and vapid doorways.
Indolent breezes...

The Song of the Caged Bird
...When the caged bird sings
It tells of her story
The song will be sad

Cruel Intentions

and sleep creeps in
I lie faced down into the pillow
wondering why I ever

beyond skins touching

...Water, water, everywhere,
Turn on the faucet,
It's not there....

Trailer park bosses,
They don't care,
They gave us each three gallons
Of water in a jug,
