My brother
Is the rain
Too much for
Tine when
We walk
Away
To a village of the
Valley and sing
Songs of
Garlands
And gown.

Raphium Series~Brother
Little rebellion inside my soul
hoping to escape my troubles
Worrying the sky
his blue is tormented
Child of the day swims sideways
there is a cap on the air
I am grounded
So moving left to right
travel the winds
Finding the desert jubilation
and like a colt run free
expending energies too painful
Seeking sanctuary
immortal honesties
are too dreadful for me
Sympathy for the devil surely
understanding of the creator?...perhaps
Anger rushes through my veins ...
hoping to escape my troubles
Worrying the sky
his blue is tormented
Child of the day swims sideways
there is a cap on the air
I am grounded
So moving left to right
travel the winds
Finding the desert jubilation
and like a colt run free
expending energies too painful
Seeking sanctuary
immortal honesties
are too dreadful for me
Sympathy for the devil surely
understanding of the creator?...perhaps
Anger rushes through my veins ...

What She Had Done On The Last Day Of Summer
Xander saw Lindsay
splashing in the water and
smiling at her own
brother who was standing on
the beach and waiting for her.

Ghosts
So now that I'm "dead" will you say a few words to me? Or are we pretending that ghosts don't exist either?

two brothers
(opposition disposition)
“Together, [they] form a necessary paradox;
not a senseless contradiction.”―Criss Jami, Healology
one is a priest,
the other is a pest;
him, too, a beast.
his sibling does his best,
sending the light,
where brother casts a plight;
the one engaged,
the other man enraged.
one is a friend,
the other full of ire;
him, too, a fiend,
his sib the world’s desire.
one shifts the blame,
his brother takes the hurt;
one mends the lame,
the other rends the heart.

The 46
Siblings on the bus, a lively scene
With laughter, chatter and joyful beam.
Together as travel, side by side,
Miles apart, yet heart to heart tied.
As we look out through the window,
The world passes us by like a show,
The bustling streets, the people and cars.
Melodies of life float in like stars.
With laughter, chatter and joyful beam.
Together as travel, side by side,
Miles apart, yet heart to heart tied.
As we look out through the window,
The world passes us by like a show,
The bustling streets, the people and cars.
Melodies of life float in like stars.

Brother
A figure standing next to me
A man of 6,6 tall
A quiet soul of whom I love
To him, I owe it all
He watched me grow
From none to now
And never let me fall
The odd one out
In a sea of liars
We grew up, hand in hand
And I’ll never forget
His genuine smile
On a pedestal, he stands.
To him, I thank
For who I am
And all that I could be
Because what is life
Without a soul
As loving, or as free,
As he.
A man of 6,6 tall
A quiet soul of whom I love
To him, I owe it all
He watched me grow
From none to now
And never let me fall
The odd one out
In a sea of liars
We grew up, hand in hand
And I’ll never forget
His genuine smile
On a pedestal, he stands.
To him, I thank
For who I am
And all that I could be
Because what is life
Without a soul
As loving, or as free,
As he.

Brother
I ate
Chicken heart,
While sitting
By my brother-in-law,
At a street vendor stall,
Half a world away;
We talk
As brothers,
Separated by
A mere barrier
Of common speech;
He knows much
Of my native tongue;
I know scant bits
Of his;
This worthy man
Is
My brother.

Sister & Me
Sister & Me
Crimson tressed child
Of the copper lamplight
trades first communion lily gown
For blue nurse evening shawl
With Red Cross and
Toy stethoscope
To hear the Jazz rhythm
Of my heart
But phonograph of Brubeck
Plays our song
For our pretend Union
On altar of girlhood tears
That bears the loneliness
I too feel
While lost in boyhood dreams
Of seagulls chasing the night away
On neighborhood stoops
Where Django strums from guitars
As dawn comes with slow insistence ...

the loss of the known
The loss of the known
A sudden flash occurred, a moment of a forgotten past
walking down a wide road that only had a few cars trundling along
to the left where the road wears to the right, a café I thought of going
in for a beer, but the dog if left outside, would fret
A fine day, not hot or cold, must have been early spring or fall
tried to remember what I was doing before the curtain was drawn
I was left with an unfinished memory, one I had to make it up
to fill in the blanks.
Something sad about the scene of a sole...

my auntie
My Auntie
When he entered his aunt’s basement flat
I had been in the yard when she called me in
she squatted over a bucket of water, cleaning her fanny
I handed her a towel and a bottle of spray cologne
My aunt was not like other aunts took no interest
In knitting woolly socks for African children
She was a free spirit and loved men, but she preferred
Teutonic men and disliked the Latin types, except once
When we children brought home a black cook from
A banana ship; he spent two nights in her bed but looked
pale when the captain...

Bittersweet Release
War, we fight
We fight the war together
Gotta stay strong
Or else the whole team will completely fall apart
I’ve got a minimum to no chores
But I can still feel the anguish, it’s killing me
We do it all for love
That’s worth fighting for
But the fighting is over
At for the most
A man from a child
His first wish is to hurt himself
I’m filled with repression
It’s coming out of my eyes
The movie I’ve seen a hundred times
Is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen
We fight the war together
Gotta stay strong
Or else the whole team will completely fall apart
I’ve got a minimum to no chores
But I can still feel the anguish, it’s killing me
We do it all for love
That’s worth fighting for
But the fighting is over
At for the most
A man from a child
His first wish is to hurt himself
I’m filled with repression
It’s coming out of my eyes
The movie I’ve seen a hundred times
Is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen
