too well,
each picture

each happy

blocks
my vision
from seeing
everything

Frida
she weeps in flowers
they grace her table
along with globs of paint
brushes stand in wait
aged and smooth from weary hands
stained with feelings of rebirth
slowly she paints
flowers convalesce
on a background
of muted tones
they flourish
each petal gracefully unfurls
easing her image
into a bounty of rich hues
where they are free to hang
bend without breaking
knowing no hardship
she imagines her
tears pooling in the vase
so clear and without the fog
of...

E tu vivrai nel terrore!
Italian director Lucio Fulci,
began his career during the 1950's
By the early 1970's, Giallo thrillers,
mysterious shockers, who is the killer?
A Lizard in Woman's Skin
Sette Note in Nero
Don't Torture a Duckling
Sella d'argento
1979 the maestro switched to gore,
Zombi was graphic, the audience wanted more
Paura nella città dei morti viventi
L'aldilà
Quella villa accanto al cimitero
The gates of hell trilogy
Fulci's finest hour,
executed with brilliancy
Lo squartatore di New York ...

Diagnosis
For Elisha
I.
I am sure you felt its shadow
locomotive smoke growing thicker
that plumule bomb
of hazardous waste
pulverizing the landscape
of your lungs
There are so many cliches
for a time like this. . .
‘Take care of you’
‘It will be alright’
‘I’m so sorry’
‘I’m here if you need me’
'What can I do'
But the truth is
it hurts to concentrate
on a war game
of chemotherapy
and radiation roulette
II.

Andy Kaufman...Genius
Insisted he wasn't a comedian, jokes he hated
A song & dance man, he has often stated
Early comedy clubs thought he was a hack
Foreign man revealed, they wanted him back
First season of Saturday Night Live
Mighty Mouse performed, in 1975
Elvis impersonation was well respected
Flawless in delivery, absolute perfection
Latka Gravas introduced on taxi, a TV show
Tony Clifton was Andy, in case you didn't know
Jerry Lawler brought him to Memphis
Andy's character was smug & pretentious
Wrestling...

DARE TO FIGHT FEAR
THERE
is no way of knowing
how much wonder, pleasure,
and amazing discoveries will
come to a person who dares to
step out of their closet
of fear, cast of the shackles ,
and saying yes to a gift that
is freely waiting to be consumed.
THE
dare to touch, to taste, to enter,
to explore, and more secret desires
will burst forth like a new rose
in the Spring.
Meet me at the Kissing
Place and we'll escape
the prison of fear together.
YES,
even that prison.

CROWN
When anger and resentment
tear you down and you have
been made to feel like a clown,.
Remember honesty and integrity
and wear them like a crown •

I AM NOT ASHAMED
CONFESSION
is a release and renewal
of a sound mind and
fresh beating heart;
it is being honest with self
as well as with others.
THEREFORE,
I am not ashamed to
open and reveal my heart,
letting YOU enter secret places
where no one has gone;
somehow is seems right
and so liberating for my soul.
THEREFORE,
as words flow from my
lips and my fingers on the keys,
as well as through my mind,;
they all say the same thing
over and over again.:
I AM NOT ASHAMED
to say, no to shout:
I ADORE AND...

Kaddish for Allen Ginsberg's 27th DeathDay
5/30
Twenty-seven years now, Allen,
since I last saw you in Altus, Arkansas,
waltzing with Garcia Lorca down the aisles
amongst the watermelons
of the Circle M convenience store,
watching you glance slyly at
old Walt Whitman ogling
the check-out boy
at the counter,
apple-cheeked and angel-haired
how did you know he was
Caravaggio's Cecco,
reborn just to grin
winsomely at you
as the Bradford Pears began
dropping their white...

Forget ~You~ Not
Where lavender and ivy rest at roots of verdant cypresses,
your stems tangled 'round the purest of baby's breath,
and beloved wild daisies.
Painted in shades of heaven and scented
with innocence,
such tenderness took refuge in my veins.
YOU; my precious forget- me- not
to bring sun's warmth,
will forever dwell in the garden of my heart....
your stems tangled 'round the purest of baby's breath,
and beloved wild daisies.
Painted in shades of heaven and scented
with innocence,
such tenderness took refuge in my veins.
YOU; my precious forget- me- not

will forever dwell in the garden of my heart....

I'LL KISS AND TELL
YES,
I know the old proverb:
"I'll kiss but never tell."
I guess there may be a
time when that would be appropriate.
BUT
not in my experience with you.
I have been taken to another
world by your amazing one
of a kind kisses.
The softness.
The wetness.
The dualling tongues.
The exchange of breath.
The sounds of heavy breathing.
The adventure into your
secret and perfect nest of pleasure
made more beautiful by a silky garden.
NO!
I'm not going to blast it to others
or call a News...
