THE EDGE

We live in a country…a world…where many of us are wedged
Between what we perceive as good on one side…evil on the other…
With us standing on the edge.
Where our world which should be simple…ha...

...do I offend you with my truth
sorry no apologies will be giving

Decrees were bones, dogmas were nails.
Kings signed treaties in ink darker than darkness, a pact forged in daggers.
Papal bulls oozed ...

Moomy, Smoke and a Pancake
...Sweet mother, Virginia Slim wedged between your fingers,
that last light willed to die at the rig

Hopeful Days

Perpetual treat, that enters my ear, singsong
merriness, retreats all too quick, completes

A ghost that lingers in my spirit
...In the city of dread,
Lies a haunted, ghostly homestead.
The masonry draped in cascade of red,
Shared a foul, rot & putrid smell as he's dead.

...I sit where they sat before me,
knees folded like pressed flowers,
hands stitched together by someone else's

Between bites of slaw and baked potato
It wedged in the top of my whiskered throat
there was the palest form...

Flesh and Spirit

We cling to painted faces,
golden frames hung in dusty cathedrals,
as though divinity could be held
in the corners of our vision.
But He is not there—
not in the picture books,
not in the qui...

Drollery The Antisetic Poet
...Allusion the word used
it seemed out of place
and wedged between
repetition and simile.
Her thick English sounding accent

Gorgous face and , she had

Still Going for a Win
...Hosed, he may not win, piehole’s constricted.
Food tossed into pipe, and wedged.
Yet, with save, he’s unhinged.
