POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Books:
plain sky
i wish i was ordinary,
like a coal miner's daughter
and black with ash and
work.
i can love, and row and
slop the pigs;
i don't see light but
through his eyes.
forever the sky pulls,
weaves and I make
clothes for you.
i tried to ferret away,
at nerves,
at regrets,
at love;
i know it goes on,
it remembers but
without awareness.
dawn again.

houston
she ran away at quite a clip,
designer in alot of ways;
get some gas, then a crash
jon was really a perv.
met a guy, kinda neat;
helped me survive- liked puzzles.
together we made, a suit of light;
he ended up in a barrel along,
with that other girl.
made a break, air is okay-
freaky creature- the big one worse!
alcohol bomb in its mouth;
off to houston, to fight these jerks.

scarecrow
the most atrocious thing in the
world begins with a kiss;
on the face of the avowed one.
he's the wheel of it all.
he stroked the fires and makes me kill
all the birds rolling the fields, picking
the seeds
of my scarecrow.
i took it as fate,
i was more scarier then sundown,
the birds called and called
and i died that day.
i licked the fates of plate-glass.
it tasted bloody and bad.
i had a mother and i loved.
i had no time to say what was said.

one room apartment
i haven't written anything
worth a monopoly of
your time.
the breezes are still cold and
everything hurts with talk.
10pm was a starting point
but now threatens total chaos.
sorry i won't waste
precious moisture
on tears.
write that down.

face in the crowd
i know courtesy is dead.
in the concourse-
it's vile lark.
just when i think i am jolly-
in walks and says a shrug.
there are just so many maybes,
life's ticket is neither fit nor relaxed;
chatter to the crypt lich my respects-
lucky fool in me.

lemming
i lack the finality of
the assassin-
it will not end. my claws are tame.
i dig it with a gusto unheard of
in modern civility.
it's a head-turner.

in an awkward place
my time is sundown.
it hides me in a wake of covering hands;
it is cooler like my skin after i release-
i bathe in sometime else too-
water- it sticks
heat- it burns the fits, and starts of stupidity.
my life- a robot operation and i'm
out
of
breath

lean meet me
the ride, the sun was great.
the wheels did contain
my love of it all.
i did sway and pull and pedal hard,
the goal is unknown but i think to feel
good
i run and there was an end,
and it was sweat and feet swell and
i feel i did things.
i do it again

mortals
the mortals tell the story
and i fell, down
to the level up & fielded;
there are many passer-by,
a trunk of spite & looks and go
i fell
down
the way-ward pike, curved in satin and bone.
i fell up and down & no control,
dear god
catch me, the hand of glory-ridden rags

so electric bullies bolter,
shamming old ladies of
their millions;
I reject the notion it's easy
to understand the sort.
I once knew the secrets to
stop everything bad and to
flay it straight and teach myself
not to gag on life deposits.
it was meaty.
the only cure is a whisper, a
cold bath of fortune or suckle
the angels but I
reject the notion.

earth-struck
the rocky road to earth was lean.
i escaped from oblivion once again.
i came from a world of plague.
it was fallen from the day of one-
they didn't know the meaning or reason
of source to cure.
i remembered and i fought a pain of
them all.
i didn't feel well as i plunged toward a planet called
earth.

last stars i see
going to a super nova
was not an idea fully-squared.
they say math is poly-fun;
trigonometry.
getting lost, no space charts
coursed; believing in the
enviable-
and being wrong.
computations are exact;
micro to a dime;
no need to second-guess:
it might be okay.
