Seaside
I’ve found myself lately
Walking along the washed
And rewashed shore,
Where early morning bandits
Slip in and steal up
Unbroken shells
For the crooks at souvenir shops
To resell to a quaint family
From the Illinois farmland
Breathing in
Tobacco smoke;
I know it’s not
What’s gonna get me.
Been running through
A thousand unspent conversations,
Trying to rewrite
All my wrongs,
Wishing we still had a chance
To gaze in to
One another’s
Weary eyes
As our paths thin,
Dwindling down ...
Walking along the washed
And rewashed shore,
Where early morning bandits
Slip in and steal up
Unbroken shells
For the crooks at souvenir shops
To resell to a quaint family
From the Illinois farmland
Breathing in
Tobacco smoke;
I know it’s not
What’s gonna get me.
Been running through
A thousand unspent conversations,
Trying to rewrite
All my wrongs,
Wishing we still had a chance
To gaze in to
One another’s
Weary eyes
As our paths thin,
Dwindling down ...

Enigma
Enigma,
Even unto myself;
Bottom of the barrel;
High-end top-shelf;
A student of both
Tolkien,
And Bourdain;
One,
Devout Catholic;
One culinarian,
Most profane.
My own heart
Tethered
On those thin threads between…
If you don’t
Really understand,
Then you know
Just what I mean.

Heels
I ask once
If we could just
Stumble backwards over
Half-recalled memories,
And you just
Gave me that soft
Sad smile.
I can still hear
The fading echo
Of your heels
On the tile.
If we could just
Stumble backwards over
Half-recalled memories,
And you just
Gave me that soft
Sad smile.
I can still hear
The fading echo
Of your heels
On the tile.

Campfire
I’m deep in a draught
Of High West Campfire,
Breathing deep,
Seeing new,
And
Just between me and you,
I don’t dare sleep,
Tiptoeing the high wire,
Awaiting the inevitable crash.
Of High West Campfire,
Breathing deep,
Seeing new,
And
Just between me and you,
I don’t dare sleep,
Tiptoeing the high wire,
Awaiting the inevitable crash.

Jeju
I saw the plane
Crash;
I screamed,
Mutedly:
‘God,
Why?’

Two fingers of Scotch
Hits better

Mistletoe
Here
Beneath
The mistletoe,
Her kisses come
Soft and slow.

Lust
Heaven knows
We spent our junior years
Grinding
To the electric
Pop sounds
Of 90s vixens
And
If I ever truly knew
What love was
I’d have run
Like a coward
Before the storm
Breaking
As a God-given blessing
On the parched earth
We spent our junior years
Grinding
To the electric
Pop sounds
Of 90s vixens
And
If I ever truly knew
What love was
I’d have run
Like a coward
Before the storm
Breaking
As a God-given blessing
On the parched earth

There is
Little question,
That my

Is depression

Wild Flower
Little wild flower:
May my dewdrop kiss
Linger long, and
Imbue the song
Dancing sweet upon
Your two lips
May my dewdrop kiss
Linger long, and
Imbue the song
Dancing sweet upon
Your two lips

Laugh
Cancer
Doesn’t get
The last laugh;
The true laugh
Is
The mirth
Of heaven,
The breath that
The blemishes of Earth
Cannot breathe.
Doesn’t get
The last laugh;
The true laugh

The mirth
Of heaven,
The breath that
The blemishes of Earth
