mother (excerpt from apronsongs3)

a fountain
to the children
of the world
whose apronsongs
have quieted
the clutch
of thimble days
when hunger
filled the soul
weaving
earth’s little
into heaven’s
much…

Flush It Away

Will democracy
be flushed away like a turd?
A bad day for all.

Couch

Good things crop up when you slam the fuck up,
Permitting actions to stock the heart's cup:
Words are parched skeletons, actions are puff.

Pull the Trigger

The pen is the gun
The writing hand is the trigger
The words are the bullets  
My heart is the victim

Temples with columns,
connect by the sword.
A truth of the universe
seldom explored.

Thus is the power
of number and word.
All that's unsaid,
has always been heard.

the morning after the storm ..

the rain has passed over
hope it didn't suffer
I'm sorry it's gone ..

Remembered

Beloved Husband
You were my greatest blessing
Children provided

A cherished Daddy
Moments never forgotten
Grandchildren given

A loving Papa
Playful moments never lost
Always remembered
