Yard Work, Eternal Style

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the grass grows fast in heaven

and the weeds are never ending

the folks in wings and shears

are the ones who won't stop sinning



virtue has its merits the

rewards can be quite great

but there's something said for sin

conducted with a rake

I Do

She texts me
from a wedding
decribes the
bride and groom
walking down
a narrow aisle
beaming parents
children, guests
I am drinking
on my porch
celebrating
a divorce
final, in
two days
she writes again
"The ceremony
is over, I cried"
so I toast
these strangers
with my glass
"Do you like
weddings?"
she asks
"I do,"
I say
"I do"

Chance

They call them
Chance meetings
What chance 
Did I have
In the space 
of time
The sun rose
Or sets or
the time
a spin cycle
Tosses clothes
Too and fro
no rhyme
Or reason
To it
like us
Dry
Folded
and worn
Too often

M O N D a Y

m o n d a y



It’s a slow
part of Monday
the bone
other days discard

But for Monday
it’s what you have

Times takes
extra breaks
on Mondays

it dawdles
in the hall
takes the stairs

no sense
of urgency, 
Monday

the day is arrogant
Mondays do not care
unlike Wednesday
which can be
sympathetic

Under the right
conditions

Monday
is a Nazi
and we’re
all Jews

F E a S T

Embraced, 
words  
 
pour 
so easily 
gentle 
recipes
prepared  
for years 

a kiss 
mixed 
with a touch  
peeling,
slowly
 
Skin pulses  
Gently blended

stir, my 
body and yours 
  
Somewhere a 
timer rings  
we're ready

smile
  
Time  
To eat
