POGO STICK.
People think they know her
They see a face blue eyes and
half a smile in peach Melba
lipstick.
They don’t see her with all her
internal drawers from the whispers
of her curly locks of hair to her two
tone mod shoes . With a buckle on
show in a silvery wistful way .
She is invisible to most which makes
her feel like a ghost in life but it is
better to remain a mystery. Maybe
she is murder she wrote of the true
detective but she won’t give you any
clues .

water (in nature)
the warmth
of the sun
catching me
standing
there
at one
there
of my
favorite
chosen
scenic edges,
trees and
blue sky
copied on
the surface,
while slight
hills
dominate
each side,
caressing
her flow
downward
into lands
below,
and i
stand still
while
daydreaming
with her.

Vaping at Midnight
night opens its eyes and arms
one long, slow glissando of fog
and gaslight
while my smoke unwinds like breath
a soft caesura in the canticle of evening quiet
a gentle cadence to the arpeggiations
of stars
one long, slow glissando of fog
and gaslight
while my smoke unwinds like breath
a soft caesura in the canticle of evening quiet
a gentle cadence to the arpeggiations
of stars

Between Yesterday and Tomorrow
I know it won't last
laying here naked
not wanting to move
crying a little
for the passing of time
gone, gone the second I plan
living for tomorrow
instead of today
Laying naked
exposing my soul
letting peace invade my body
my spirit walking
in the sky
floating through clouds
getting chilled
from cumulus dew
Laying naked
just because I can
there's no rhyme or reason
for moments of joy
and I weep
when they pass
even as I lose myself
in the serenity
existing ...

moonlight and magnolias
the
full moon's
light
generously
shown down
on the
magnolia's
blossoms,
each one
relentless
in their
pursuit
to place
their sweet
fragrance
on the
night air.

It's dinner time
Hands are clasped in supplication
For the dying of a nation
Words are used ' in God we trust'
Decrees are signed by men unjust.
Somewhere is that God we trust
Who doesn't crave and doesn't lust
Let him now reveal his hand
Time is nigh for one last stand.
God it's time to draw the line
Clear this nation of the swine
Please don't kill them that's too good
Reduce them into poor man's food.
Then at least we'll get a feed
From all their lies and all their greed.
I've got my cutlery ready.

The Divorce
When it happened, I was very angry and I was also stunned.
My wife filed for a divorce just because Donald Trump won.
My wife is smart, sophisticated and she's also very pretty.
But I learned that she's also superficial, shallow and petty.
My mother always told me to appreciate what I've got.
But if you're wondering if I still appreciate my wife, I sure as hell do not.
When she broke my heart, she didn't even feel remorse.
After seventeen years of marriage, she filed for a divorce.

Night Walk
I took a walk through the tapestry of night,
where streetlamps stitched their gold tight across midnight’s throat—
not stars, but close enough to mimic light,
to guard the paths where restless shadows are rubies.
A chorus hummed through bones of bending trees,
the wind’s tender grasp combed through the thorny thicket.
Far above, in blackened galaxies,
starlight blew its kisses—thick as good luck & hope.
The moon, ripe as a strawberry, dripped its glow,
and climbed the clouds like stairs, playing calipee. ...

Blah 8-2-oh
Why do we torture ourselves with this shit?
Why do we sit through any of this?
Here I am / there you were
They were once near
Now, no more
Why do we sit through any of this?
Here I am / there you were
They were once near
Now, no more

The story survives… until it doesn’t.
The writer smiles,
ash on their fingers:
“Chaos, I borrowed
your teeth to bite
eternity. Now eat.”

a slight cool breeze
as winter
came near,
i stowed
my aging
bones
safely away
from
the cold,
and close
to huddling
near my
gas heater,
all tidied
to the
warmth
inside,
but as
the day
turned
satisfactory,
i wandered
outside
until
a slight
cool breeze
blew my
thoughts
away from
fresh air
and
sunshine,
now back
into my
covered
and heated
sanctuary.

Conjugating
Just past the Bank of America
and the Ski shop (odd in Phoenix)
there's a place that kills pets
and charges you thousands of dollars to do it
They won't kill your pet right away.
First they'll do what they can
Exams
X-rays
Even clipping your cat's nails
because she hates having that done
but now that's she's half dead
she can tolerate it.
You drove her there
in rush hour traffic
crying the whole way
Why did you stay after school to grade papers?
Why did you stop at Safeway after that?
By the time...
