primrose / poison / pelican

Primrose garden tended
with such care,
Only to have it laced
with poison.

Doesn't seem fair,
the way the gardener
toils in dedication,
adding brightly colored plastic
flamingos, which
queerly,
has attracted a pelican.

indigenous / insecticide / sow

Surround me
Indigenous swarming
Teaming to restore

Fervently compel
In life cycles
Insecticide disrupt

To sow and again
In ever balanced
Comings and goings

Tinder, flint, runnings

everyone knew
Stephanie flint-foot
could tap a stage to inferno
so, liability lies with the tongue
who requested the reel

and the hands
which left the sawdust
for tinder

next year
it'll be Cool runnings



sequin(s) constable, lunge(d)

Constable Derek Humperdink,
wore a sequin dress to the hole in one bar. An older man lunged
Foward trying to look up his dress

Matches / seaweed / bear


The transient walked,
barefoot and cold,
along a coastline beach

When came upon
a tangled string
of seaweed washed ashore.

He shivered from
the morning damp,
gathered in a pile

And tried to light it
from six matches;
proved to be a bear.


plumbing / tumbler / stapler

they say
in the old days
a tumbler of scotch
was a welcome anaesthetic
before the butcher
sliced open a man's belly
to fix his plumbing

if lucky, he'd walk away  
held together
with some horse-glue
and a stapler

submerge(d) gravity   buoy


it was the very last time Yankee swam alongside the fishes
instead submerged with gravity boots along the eastern seacoast...

The only thing that located this fool was
His Glasses, they were stuck to the buoy

A weekend in Belfast 1992


Mary's parents
were creatures of faith
kindly, soft spoken
god fearing

their small house
was littered with paintings
of Jesus, Cromwell,
William, George
and Elizabeth

her father looked at me
like I was already
burning in hell

her two brothers
were hoods
I could see myself
in their eyes
down some back alley
catching boots
with my limp body

the after dinner discussion
touched upon language
specifically mine
and how obscene it gets
when alcohol is mixed

I opologized again
and undertook
to learn to curse in Irish
so none of them
could understand me

then talk
turned to prayer:
favorites and meanings

so I excused myself
fetched my bags
stuck my head out the door
to check the weather

and announced

"it's hail, Mary"

which apparently
was the last straw
for the two brothers

#wheretonowpapabear

we move slow
like treacle down a pine tree
and shout we! we! we!
while a drum beats

who knows who we are

or the people
who chant you! you! you!
on the sidelines


winter, mystery, submerged

awoke with a start
horrifying dream of you submerged
trapped beneath winter ice
your beautiful hair flowing out of reach
awoke with the mystery
and the misery
of wondering
what happened next?

they all agreed
the three legged platypus
gets around with more ease
than dave did
after two bottles of wine
and an earful of foreigner

sew my lips together
so I don't say anything stupid
as I stumble like a pilgrim
to the blessed throne of porcelain

we always reap what we sow
and it looks like I'm sowing a big hangover

on a runway
an inconsolate waif
sifts through the debri
for the heart of a mother

or any other part

just to have touched her
whoever she was

then he hugged the night
and wandered back
to wherever it was
he'd come from
