Sympathy for a Bee
On Father’s Day, we all hopped into the family van
It would be a two hour drive down to the beach
As I drove through the long and winding highway
My wife yelled “A BEE!’ somewhere out of reach
“Bee still” I told my wife trying to joke about it
Thinking the little guy is more scared us than her of him
“Leave it alone” I said as I kept my eye on the road
I’ve talked to bees before and I’d have to do it again
About an hour later we stopped for quick break
(The dog had an accident and had to let her out)
Meanwhile as the kids cleaned...

Papa Bird, the Old Wizard
One night a country bumpkin told his friends an incredible story about an old wizard named Papa Bird. He resided alone in the mountainous area of Westmoreland. The people of the district said that he was an obeah man, but he regarded himself as a scientist. Papa Bird was no ordinary wizard; his magic was real. Moreover, he had strong supernatural powers.
All the witches and wizards in the district feared him because they were charlatans. Papa bird’s house was on top of a hill, and every day he would sit on the verandah and look down in the valley. When people wanted to visit...

It’s quiet.
I mean, so quiet. So quiet you hear yourself think and you get lost in conversation with yourself. So quiet the second you hear anything you jump. But you don’t hear anything. The sun beats down silently, the lake is cool and flat as a mirror. I turn to my other side, laid up on a thick picnic blanket, red and white, on the low hill next to the house. A little house, brick, built before the town came. Before the road was there, before all the activity and movement. And away from the road you feel alone. Not in a bad way. Just alone. Alone and you know it’s only you in...

Apiary Nights!
I entertained Cupid's standard dream
Saint Valentine induced in me
Where both were drinking Bailey's cream...
And celebrating amity.
They had careers and sexy wives
And perfect homes in heaven above
For spying on our mortal lives...
Of overcomplicated love.
Every day they would conspire
To clog the web with another post
About blue pills for more desire
From the father, son, and holy ghost.
But all the while what went unmarked
Was what...

Java Intrigue
Making this coffee
It truly seems to be
Blessing wishes freely
To brew some for thee
Under the yon coconut tree
Dreaming by the azure sea —
Singing to the bonny bee’s
Beneath verdant canopies,
Buzzing flower to flower
Looking like lazy daisy heads lower’d
Heads not much like sunflowers
At all but, something sweeter,
Glistening nectars
Needed by nesters,
Baby bumbles and others
Otherwise known as bears —
Chugging java cups
Keeps them coming back up
Trees in mind’s eyes
To concoct more java
You...

The Hornet and the Spider
in playground quiet
childhood swings
spinster sinister spinning
spreading lattice
marking the artflow
soul pneumatics
welcoming Spring
in dark corners
for palpable thing
black diamond
vampirical suspense
queen of the hunt
indomitable
definable
exquisite
mortifiable preying
in all her splendour
corpulent
crowned with obsidian
eyes incorporeal jewels
master-crafted her world
far from other realms
interweaving
interconnected
conduits
not a thread was left ...

The Queen spoke to me
She shuffled side to side upon the coffee table
early in the afternoon outside as I smoked a cigarette
A queen ant with wings searching for a mate
seeking to create a hive as I sought to be alive
I spoke to her
She listened to my words
She danced before me
I commented upon her beauty
She inched closer towards me.
she walked along the edge of the table
She flew onto my knee, then lost
I told her destiny
That will never be

death from above
Death from above 1953
My uncle
Was seaman
Died in Marseilles
A pig on a balcony
Fell on him.
Mother said
He died at sea
When a mine
Struck his ship.
A likely explanation
That served
His widow well
When telling her
husband was
a hero.

Let's Go Camping
Camping can be a lot
of fun but after the 2nd day
I was constantly wondering
what kind of a bug is gonna
bite me next and I kept
on praying as hard as I
could pray I hope another
Evil Bumble Bee
does not sting me
anything but that

POSSIBLY A NOBLE SACRIFICE
I feel like a bee
That’s just had its guts spilled out—
To what end, unknown
