ABORT! ABORT!

I read the signs
Like printed words:
You aren’t mine,
You’re just a flirt,
We don’t align,
Our quatrains hurt
In seven lines.

BEING BEAUTIFUL

bereavement 
of beauty:
best
bodies
become 
broken 
bottles

I RECALL


I still recall
The miles I flew
That ancient fall:
The gold, the blue
Throughout my flight,
Through wind and dust,
Through skyward height.
And now I must 
Re-coil my spring,
Re-beak my mouth,
Re-grow a wing,
And head on south.

NEVER SAY NEVER

To have and to hold—
In: sickness and health 
In: good times and awful terrible times 
In: spite of a coworker 
who challenges my very decrepit paradigm 
with a new world 
who sends lightning bolts down my spine 
by touching me in passing 
who changes my mind-life-soul forever
—Till death do us part

BESTSELLER LOVER

Deals in a bookstore are the steals
I hoard on bookshelves—dull old stories
I borrow from a boring book.

Look at my life—an open book
That begs for life support and steals
Each day, each night as hum-drum stories.

I worry that my forty stories—
The high-rise building of my book—
Are just as cheap as all my steals.

My life steals stories from a book.
