Tree Bark Poem

I like tree bark
Like to climb up it
With shoes with metal spikes
And cuffs with sharp hooks

I see a bird's nest
With eggs that are blue
I count five or six
It's a robin's kin

If I fall down hard
From this mighty height
I will crush a limb
I will hold on tight

Not For Nothing

Johnny eats pasta under soft light
He was a prize fighter with a pregnant wife
Always buys his hair tonic from the same guy
His mudda was his hero
His fadda beat him wise

Death Tree

Whatever you do
Do not climb the last tree on earth
Because if you do
It will not let you down
And you will starve up there

Dream Fragment

I folded into the dark wooden foyer
that reminded me of the church confessional when I was a boy

the images that got conjured up in there
the smell of burning incense

I lit a match then
I passed out then

Hats

She received him like a warm bath
He felt like he just got born
What did you say
I felt like I just got born

Take off your hat
No put it back on again
No take it off again

Scrubbing their respective privates with a dry wash cloth 
Fires ablaze in those nether regions now
They are spacing out on one another

There is nothing like the sound of a bird chirping
Outside the window of a stranger
To measure the weight of quiet horror

You will call me
She said that like a question
What did you say
You said that like a question

Take off your clothes
No put them back on
No take them off again

Your smell is on them
What did you say
