POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Watching
Sunlight
streams thru
the linen
curtains
of an old
Italian
villa
Specks of
dust float
slowly
downwards
in the heavy
warmth of
the air and
light
The wooden
floor waits
to catch
them and
hear the
story of
their lives

the distance
the distance between
my head and my ass
is how long it takes a
dream to die
love is twenty two
at the blackjack
table
while Caine slams
down shots of
tequila and clubs
his brother into
submission...
the bartender
laughs and pours
another round

get real
there is another
march for peace
this time it's
against hatred
but hatred will
do whatever it
takes to get it's
point across...
starvation,
torture,
murder,
even
genocide
peace will march
down the street
carrying signs,
chanting pithy
slogans
but the walls will
not crumble,
the tanks will not
retreat
the fires will not
be dampened
peace,
my old
friend
you better
wise ...

dreams are fishes swimming in a cold sea
lying on the floor
of my room as
serene as a dead
fish on the beach
but there is no
ocean,
no waves,
no gulls
overhead
only the
dryness
dryness
dryness
of my
own
breathing
looking up,
i see
nothing
god has dug
a hole
in the
sky.
his
bucket is
full of clouds,
birds and sunlight
sleep for a year
and dream of:
victorian curtains
blocking out the
day,
...

rule, law and discontent

dear Mr President
when the same
laws
do not apply
to
all equally
that is the
end
of democracy
sorry George ,
sorry Thomas,
sorry Ben,
sorry Paul,
sorry James

looking for the gods
where are
they?
where did
they go?
looked in the
kitchen cabinets...
nope,
not there
went upstairs,
checked under
the bed...
nothing
searched the
shed in the
backyard...
zip,
zero
drove down to
the local grocery
store,
looked in the frozen
food section...
not a god to be
seen
explored the great
gothic cathedrals
and ancient temple's
of the world...
bupkis
opened dusty,...
they?

Prayer For The Recovering
May you heart shine as
bright as a blazing sun
May your spirit find rest
when the day is done
And in this long, long
race that you have run
May you find that, in the
end, you have won
bright as a blazing sun
May your spirit find rest
when the day is done
And in this long, long
race that you have run
May you find that, in the
end, you have won
