Summer Perdition

...after 'Berck-Plage' by Sylvia Plath

(1)

A sheet of glass, this expanse of water.
How its tranquillity mocks my unrest.

Bloated beachballs and balloons
travel the park and...

Desolate Dynasty

...Encased in an isolated castle of an old fool’s paradise,  
A decaying dagger rests upon a distressed oak table.  
Frayed book pages scatter across termite-riddled floors.  
The calligraphy carries...

Firestorm The 'Orange Glow'

...Scents of burnt embers flowing over my windowsills
Charred are the palm tree fronds that
once fanned the breeze 
Seized are the pods, timbers     
Torches sparking  shrills

Behold the...

The Animals They Talk

...Venus
Casts a tiny shadow
Upon the ghostly snow
From its candle held by an extended hand
Of a cloaked man
Who trips through the stripped trees

Follows the fresh trail of reindeer
To our seco...

The Unfinished Archive

...In lacquered boxes, six feet down,
Rest whispers of the unbought crown -
The paintings left in mental drafts,
The kindness stored away in crafts.

Between the satin folds they place
The morning...

Libraries

...I am a book
Given to myself by my mother, given to herself by hers, and so on
I am a name
Given to me by my own pages turning past the last
Wording on my skin, lifted with water and vinegar
I am...

My Voice Must Be Light As Air

...We talk small in big spaces
Leaving the words around us empty
 helium balloons floating
Wasn't my voice atmospheric
It's disappearing into the clouds
My muffled thoughts, my meaningless mumbling...

Fiery darts of Danny

...For I have eaten of manna 
I have witnessed the Holy Spirit I will 
not shall not flee in the face of Danny 
strange flesh messenger from hell a man 
and horse walking on hoofs wearing the 
buss...

Sipping on Poetry

...
   Perched in a leafy tree
     sipping on poetry

   eyes trained on rolling hills
     toggling ‘tween windowsills 

   points of vantage as yet unimagined
     heretofore ne’er examined  ...

Blackout

...Blackout 

I sit in a blackout
What can I do
Wind is a howling
The rain's angry too

Windowsills rattle
High up on my floor 
I live on the seventh 
And hear every roar

I'm starting to fi...

My Horse Alberta

...Alberta has pulled me many miles,
her hoofs are placed one after another,
But on this night of Christmas Eve,
She pills a load of hay behind her.
So many young smiles with laughter,
Candles flic...

Cold In Them Thar Hills

...This week, snow is expected in the hills
A bitter cold Halloween like I remember
Thinking about it gives me the chills
Mostly the looming winter heating bills
It’s time to caulk up th...

A Shower of Flowers

...Tulips fronting daffodils
  Azaleas in pots on windowsills

Rows of rainbow chrysanthemums
  Mingle with orange geraniums

Bright pink peonies ready to pop
  A bird of paradise sits on top

Cats

...curious little humans
attacking flies in mid air
tapping the air with tiny paws
sitting on windowsills
watching birds...
