POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
She's snark, And spice, And salt. She's firs and ferns. She's lakewater. And teal. And lungs of frosting winter moss.

Proportion
So airily he sheds his days
With few barnacles of clinging woes
A man of stature
Strong displays
My love and his frame do impose
But burdens marry myself daily
Cleaving deeply within intuition
A petite she with portly psyche
No prospect for mental deposition
Presence projects contradictions
Our inner truth stays overrun
For so he is a larger party
I truly am the bigger one
With few barnacles of clinging woes
A man of stature
Strong displays
My love and his frame do impose
But burdens marry myself daily
Cleaving deeply within intuition
A petite she with portly psyche
No prospect for mental deposition
Presence projects contradictions
Our inner truth stays overrun
For so he is a larger party
I truly am the bigger one

Linda, Lori, Cathy, Carol
Bibles with dusted musty leather
Stacked woefully unweathered beneath Time Warner
Pigshit and planners pregnant with impending
Affairs you conceal from "friends" and their
Quick heels who'd spread the double helix
Grapevine through holes of itching
Ears love-bit by younger men
Sweetly unbent by the same stale
Years you've been pent behind fences bracing against
White picket signs of uprising heroines setting afire
Generations growing into greatness immersed unkempt
In liberations like you've never sensed forthright
Freedom you...
Stacked woefully unweathered beneath Time Warner
Pigshit and planners pregnant with impending
Affairs you conceal from "friends" and their
Quick heels who'd spread the double helix
Grapevine through holes of itching
Ears love-bit by younger men
Sweetly unbent by the same stale
Years you've been pent behind fences bracing against
White picket signs of uprising heroines setting afire
Generations growing into greatness immersed unkempt
In liberations like you've never sensed forthright
Freedom you...

Cracking Chains
Brayron's hair was barely there
And what still clung had faded
Bitter plows had creased his brows
Proof of the man he hated
Iron paved his spiteful paths
And now he faces closing
He's left with naught
But noxious thoughts
Of the man he spent opposing
~~~
Single-malt evenings
His folks on the rocks
He'd obstruct the offense
Eat up half those knocks...
Stay up weeping in the boondocks
Countrified curses clashed
Dad's fists a hard flurry
Mom pleaded for love
Begging...

Vistas Twisted
Might we be windows of white?
Encasing inked indentations
Diffusing garish pitch with maiden neutrality
Are we rather malevolence of melanoid black?
Hung in blanched backdrops
Blotching crisp curtains
Interjecting ideals
Overcasting consummate conclusions
Could we yet be gradient gray from afar?
A petrified synesthesia...
Like cold cobwebs snagging fragments Paradise should've strained
Encasing inked indentations
Diffusing garish pitch with maiden neutrality
Are we rather malevolence of melanoid black?
Hung in blanched backdrops
Blotching crisp curtains
Interjecting ideals
Overcasting consummate conclusions
Could we yet be gradient gray from afar?
A petrified synesthesia...
Like cold cobwebs snagging fragments Paradise should've strained

Neighboring Blaze
Brooding at noon
A languishing Lithuanian's yard consumed
~
Slack smoke cloaks children's moon
Northward fires diffuse
Descending film - tinting shadows blue
Charred wafts of grime perfume
Entomb in haze of burning fume

The Itch
Fushia tones flush adrenaline
Rich and thickly under tongues
Turning them unwelcomely dry
A cord in your neck augments
So perceptible with it's taut ticking
And I would arch my own to
Taste your salt
Above it's beat
If only coaxed...
For my capillaries cavort beneath shy cheeks
Under my umber summer spots
Freckles kindled flush to betray thoughts
I prefer to tightly keep
Hidden...
But your pupils protract
As if to embrace all of me
Extracting evidence my epicurean cues tattled
//
Lush air...
Rich and thickly under tongues
Turning them unwelcomely dry
A cord in your neck augments
So perceptible with it's taut ticking
And I would arch my own to
Taste your salt
Above it's beat
If only coaxed...
For my capillaries cavort beneath shy cheeks
Under my umber summer spots
Freckles kindled flush to betray thoughts
I prefer to tightly keep
Hidden...
But your pupils protract
As if to embrace all of me
Extracting evidence my epicurean cues tattled

August
An emperor imposes heavy airs
Thick muggy supine moods
The green of lawns meanwhile subsides
Tawny tones subjugate loam
August conquors like regal rulers of Rome
An emperor imposes heavy airs
Thick muggy supine moods
The green of lawns meanwhile subsides
Tawny tones subjugate loam
August conquors like regal rulers of Rome

My Soul Drowns In Shoals
Squally musings cruise
Churning whitecapped stormy yearnings
Outcropped, unmarked jetties jut
My hull is listing
Memories hiss horribly
Lagging timeless
Engraved on my mind's marigram
Riptides rend them to sea again...
I wander the Pacific brine
Mortally pierced
By a heart hunting opportunist
Blood catching
I'm stranded
Reddening Cascadia sand
Still dreaming of my harpoonist
Churning whitecapped stormy yearnings
Outcropped, unmarked jetties jut
My hull is listing
Memories hiss horribly
Lagging timeless
Engraved on my mind's marigram
Riptides rend them to sea again...
I wander the Pacific brine
Mortally pierced
By a heart hunting opportunist
Blood catching
I'm stranded
Reddening Cascadia sand
Still dreaming of my harpoonist

Receding To My Green
..And I do love this place...
Fresh with braced and bracing green
Remaining temperate
An ambassador for me and my
Oven soul
Freezer chest moods
And a mind so much like
spilled trailmix
For in the forest
It never isolates or denigrates
And it's herbal rains fill my home
My home...
It's never too cold to go
So I sit in the mosses and stillnesses
Even when I'm needed in crowded rooms
(I retreat into my haven rainforest gloom) ...
Fresh with braced and bracing green

An ambassador for me and my
Oven soul

And a mind so much like
spilled trailmix

It never isolates or denigrates
And it's herbal rains fill my home
My home...
It's never too cold to go

Even when I'm needed in crowded rooms

Coasting, Ghosting
All hail turbulence!
Morphine-drip riddles rack beneath ribs
Senseless ends between could've-been friends
Drug (candy) store coated reality breakers
Too available not to request
Curtailed cameos
Showing up in the breach
Dipping out when connections peak
Tinder-sparked flinty facades
Stoned and stony shores where souls used to quench
Quietly unclenching
It's all about intent (consent)
Swiping right for a night
Sweeping left all the rest
Packs of China panties await in cellophane until debut
Cheap kicks with...
