I don't always show it, but I will always care.
Each of you have been a great gift to me.
Your births made this man happy as can be.
Each came to this...

Vitals

...Doctor blinks, breath caught, face goes still.

Chest tightens, heartbeat thud...

NIGHT NURSE

...To be a night nurse takes skill and grace,
Caring for patients in this darkened space.

With every step, we must be alert,
Ensuring their comfort, never to hurt.

We check vitals and administer...

...If love were 'dark matter'
it would be the size
of a small kidney stone.

Hate is
an intestinal tapeworm
that gnaws at our vitals,
though most folks
remain unsure just what 'vitals' are.

The Moon and Me

...The food we pretend to eat.
Served on trays, we pretend it’s a treat.
Watered down pop.
Bubbles that hurt and never stop.
A place filled with our heartbeat.
They take our vitals as we sit in a s...

Phantom Calls

...As night falls, a dark melody
fills the air with a feeling so deep

Two armageddons had come and had gone

Basic pains

...I'm stuck in survival 
Feeling so primal 
All I do is eat and sleep

My life's in a spiral
Cause my chemistry is tidal
And it's pulling me into the deep

Treat them as stupid
bees leave the hive
Stinger’s protruding
vitals exposed
Phylaxis laid bare
