and finally, hope
I hope life blesses you
with a goodnight
kiss
I hope that the dreams
of moonlight fall upon
you like silver
snowflakes
I hope that your sadness
is covered by a thousand
red cut out paper
hearts
I hope that a child sees
through your eyes
and the devil
walk away
defeated
I hope the summer
rain cleanses your
grief and you can
finally grow
roses
with a goodnight
kiss
I hope that the dreams
of moonlight fall upon
you like silver
snowflakes
I hope that your sadness
is covered by a thousand
red cut out paper
hearts
I hope that a child sees
through your eyes
and the devil
walk away
defeated
I hope the summer
rain cleanses your
grief and you can
finally grow
roses

some sarcasm
the way it used
to be
neighbor helping
neighbor
treating others
how you would
want to be treated
a friend in need is
a friend indeed
be thou thy brothers
keeper
...how folksy
...how charming
...how old fashioned
the fools
those simple old
fools
what DID they
know, anyway
...non nobis solum
nati sumus

if you don't think
enough of yourself
then the sun will
never find you

time spent with you spent me
time spent with you
was a Rorschach test
of never being sure
of what I was seeing
time spent with you
was a game of chicken
and seeing which one
would blink first and
swerve out of harms
way
time spent with you
was playing Russian
Roulette on a doomed,
drunken night where
the bullet was the only
winner
time spent with you was
a monkeys paw where
dreams and wishes came
out twisted, bloodied,
backwards and
useless
time spent with you ...

HEY!!! Where did I GO!
if you need to
see yourself
in somebody's
else's eyes
just make sure
the other person
isn't shortsighted

all in the moment
all the insufficient
yesterday's
the slights
the pain
the wounds
let it all be
let the sleeping
dog of the past
lie still
the past happened
it will always have happened
and it will never not have happened
no genies magic
lamp can change
that fact
the past is unalterable
like the chance of finding
one rotten apple in a
beautiful orchard
instead
focus on this single
moment
you ...

noir (a very short story)
she was hotter than a
highjacked snub nose
38 with it's serial numbers
scratched off and more
dangerous than a steamy
back alley and a crooked
deal gone bad on some
late August Baton Rouge
night
...but my oh my!
how she looked in
a black dress and
pearls
and how many good
men went bad for her
with just a wink of her
eye
...the graveyards ain't
snitchin'

God save the king
five days of rain
the Ohio river is
angry
the Ohio river
wants revenge
upon the
land
the Ohio river
wants revenge
on small towns
that line it's muddy,
ancient, holy
banks
rain for five days
the Ohio River opens
it's Promethian
maw
swallows deeply the
storms like a thirsty
man lost in a
desert
and grows strong
fat and
rageful
the catfish feel
it
the barges grow
uneasy

fly trap
all these minutes
from all the years
collected together
like flys in a jar
with the lid tightly
on
each aching to
spread their
wings one last
time
as the clock breaths
it's last
from all the years
collected together
like flys in a jar
with the lid tightly
on
each aching to
spread their
wings one last
time
as the clock breaths
it's last
