POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Been out of writing for awhile. My muse drug me here snd dropped me off. We’ll see what happens
casino musings
nipples and toes
nipples and toes
face up on the roulette
round and round she goes
pencil dick dreams
pencil dick dreams
with each revolution
nose slaps his ding-a-ling
up on all fours
up on all fours
riverboat paddles
have her panting for more
ass cheeks aglow
ass cheeks aglow
all bets are placed
nipples or toes
nipples and toes
face up on the roulette
round and round she goes
pencil dick dreams
pencil dick dreams
with each revolution
nose slaps his ding-a-ling
up on all fours
up on all fours
riverboat paddles
have her panting for more
ass cheeks aglow
ass cheeks aglow
all bets are placed
nipples or toes

glass ceiling
hope they preach
dangled out of reach
knowing it never comes
but still seekers seek
preachers of war
broken promises charred
repeating history
why is peace so hard
smiles on their faces
destroying civilized places
this worlds history
disappears without traces
scorched earth policy
a mad man’s fall from graces
tear Heaven away from hell
give souls back their place to dwell
battered, scared and bruised
the sky gives birth to hopes hues
leave death to lick its wounds ...

offering
great mother
of the sea
on your altar hear my prayers
sent on gentle gulf breeze
today loose your curl
grant growth to your swell
the final ride for too many
into Heaven or hell
I know you can’t be tamed
or swayed by only one
but today let us merge
before the last carvings done
offering half my grilled cheese
so you know that it’s me
laughing gulls greeting the sun
your blessing is all I need
of the sea
on your altar hear my prayers
sent on gentle gulf breeze
today loose your curl
grant growth to your swell
the final ride for too many
into Heaven or hell
I know you can’t be tamed
or swayed by only one
but today let us merge
before the last carvings done
offering half my grilled cheese
so you know that it’s me
laughing gulls greeting the sun
your blessing is all I need

wild Game
A born hunter
a proven tracker
but the trail he’s on
Is a real nut cracker
two sets of fresh tracks
along the river bank
peering through watering eyes
his heart sank
clothes on the ground
naked bodies entwined
the groans of passion
from a slow motion grind
a glint of light
from a pendant swinging
a lump in his throat
kept him from screaming
a few weeks later
he overheard kids saying
they’d found buried panties
by the river where they’d been playing
a proven tracker
but the trail he’s on
Is a real nut cracker
two sets of fresh tracks
along the river bank
peering through watering eyes
his heart sank
clothes on the ground
naked bodies entwined
the groans of passion
from a slow motion grind
a glint of light
from a pendant swinging
a lump in his throat
kept him from screaming
a few weeks later
he overheard kids saying
they’d found buried panties
by the river where they’d been playing

wind from the west, fish bite the best
I was 3 maybe 4 when I caught my first fish
but turned out I was the one hooked
by 12 I knew every bay
cut and oyster reef
between our pier
and the Gulf of Mexico
then life dipped me up
in its slimy dip net
saying, boy you need real learning
to make it in the world
I tried to explain that I already knew
what was being taught
they said, don’t sass your teachers
so I was patient and listened
then life said, son you need to work
none of the jobs
were the ones I wanted
but money being the evil
fed to us to...

I need a new pcp
as of late one of my few indulgences
is sitting on my porch
in the heat of summer
contemplating
and when a refreshing breeze
appears out of nowhere
I usually turn my face skyward
thanking the heavens for thinking of me
but
life trudged on wearing shit covered boots
my tune changed channels
and having established a baseline
I’m more convinced that that breeze
is merely death doing a drive-by
my chart in hand
surrounded by ghostly interns
writing a new entry, smiles
taps me on the head with his scythe ...

a pair of classics
Oh my gawd….
What? she said
your nipples! So hard
so cherry red
his voice quivering
across the canyon expanse
of the sleep number divide
he inched closer, a measured advance
elbow momentarily lodged
a tuck and roll maneuver
effortlessly performed
landed him snug up to her
she nonchalantly asked
while giving her lefty a finger swirl
you’re very acquainted with them
why today do they captivate your world
he explained, it’s a memory
resurfaced from who knows where
but flooding back
soon as...

without you
a squirrel’s in the front yard
a crow up in the pine
alone rocking on the front porch
going out of my mind
the bed hasn’t been slept in
no one’s messed up the stove
if it wasn’t half past July
I’d swear my heart was froze
without you
I’m just a left shoe
without you
dreams don’t come true
without you
my crayons are all blue
one and one ain’t two
without you
I can’t take another day
sitting here all alone
my hearts just inside the front door
please darling come back home ...

a weed in her majesty’s garden
once again I find myself in my place
and you in yours
so shy so sheltered
but there is no hurry
tightly covered
I wonder if you are ok
finishing my coffee
I wink and promise
same time tomorrow
for a week now
we’ve played this game
and I see you are weakening
your reserve coming undone
the way you sway
in the sweet summer breeze
tells me you are close
abandoning my coffee cup
I walk to your side
my hand gently reaches for you
until at last you give in
shedding inhibitions
long reserved...
