She Said It!
Parched under the day's sun
my companions lingered on the insanity
of one too many mirages
set on a quest
by something the girl said
Ancient tales made it sound like
the Ark of the Covenant
leery was I with thoughts of Indiana Jones
but intrigue won out
with something the girl said
The old man just couldn't make it
parted with him in town
another of the party may never be found
after miles of sand and dirt displacement
enlivened by something the girl said
Burial tomb on the horizon
or so we thought at first view...

Perfectly Perfect you
You're self righteousness suits you in every way I say
Yes the goodness and the uprightness and the decency - Always the card you play!
Dipped in virtue and morality yes your perfectly perfect.
And the saintliness and the nobility the oozes from you?!
Much respect!

Empty voices in a silent Tavern
Devoted patrons hibernate in homes
melting like ice in glasses.
On most days the sun mopes across this floor
to occupy chairs, or corners
but says nothing.
He only displaces the uplifting cacophony
of voices, and lighthearted singers
that will wail their lungs to the jukebox.
But the upturned barstools reflect a world
that's spinning upside down.
When it rains
clouds are like heavy eyes on tap
pouring another drink to sorrow.
melting like ice in glasses.
On most days the sun mopes across this floor
to occupy chairs, or corners
but says nothing.
He only displaces the uplifting cacophony
of voices, and lighthearted singers
that will wail their lungs to the jukebox.
But the upturned barstools reflect a world
that's spinning upside down.
When it rains
clouds are like heavy eyes on tap
pouring another drink to sorrow.

The glowing light.
The yellow sunlight ~ bright and warm,
Crawled one morning on my bedroom floor.
Was sluggish as a sleeper stretching his form,
Creep~creep~creeping to the bedroom door.
Then, after knowing it could not stay,
From the glowing chair, it seemed to say ~
'Life is a light that flickers away,
Doused by demise through speed or decay.'
Soon, the light faded under the door,
replaced by a darkness ~ yet all the more,
The yellow sunlight, as though by lure,
Departed somewhere ~ but to where ~ I'm not sure...
Crawled one morning on my bedroom floor.
Was sluggish as a sleeper stretching his form,
Creep~creep~creeping to the bedroom door.
Then, after knowing it could not stay,
From the glowing chair, it seemed to say ~
'Life is a light that flickers away,
Doused by demise through speed or decay.'
Soon, the light faded under the door,
replaced by a darkness ~ yet all the more,
The yellow sunlight, as though by lure,
Departed somewhere ~ but to where ~ I'm not sure...

MY NAME IS JUDE
My name is Jude,
from Cornwall's Bude.
Lifeboats I crewed.
I am a dude
who drinks things brewed,
and does go nude.
Not being rude;
in terms not crude,
I'm just no prude
in attitude
to clothes eschewed
in solitude,
where multitude
with mindsets lewd
do not intrude.
from Cornwall's Bude.
Lifeboats I crewed.
I am a dude
who drinks things brewed,
and does go nude.
Not being rude;
in terms not crude,
I'm just no prude
in attitude
to clothes eschewed
in solitude,
where multitude
with mindsets lewd
do not intrude.

Bertha aka Berty
grandma died today
another thing to crush me
my heart stops beating
I close my eyes and exhale
as the tears fall they echo
another thing to crush me
my heart stops beating
I close my eyes and exhale
as the tears fall they echo

From Etiquette for Girls
By summer I’ve committed too many sins to count. My window half open to let in the sunlight, crickets, all the silver shining pails. The boys in the stars. Our feet so frail and pallid beneath the blue coverlets. Storms will bring debris, grasshoppers, blessings. A string to hang your Mary Jane’s upon. When thirsty it is acceptable to look for water in cold, dry places, the icy interiors of drowned swimmers. Alone in the cool darkness of your room, listen to the fan blades whip the swollen air. Count. 1, 2. 3. Swish.

By August, the heat will swelter what’s left of your...

.. first grade
boy on his bike
stops and stands,
wasn’t the first time
he’d seen a dead man,
look down at his shoes,
still had them on,
totally amazed,
usually they’re gone,
even had gold
still around his neck,
it wasn’t a robbery,
then.. “what the heck“,
lights and sounds
from a psychedelic stage,
hypnotizing children
at a very tender age,
whispers in the crowd
begin to get loud,
“yeah he deserved it
he met his fait”,
“snitches...
