When a Guy Calls you Brother
Man
That's really amazing
Been charting the vernacular for years
Everytime it happens, stops me in my tracks
He called me Brother
There's no higher Apex
Man to Man can be a difficult quotient
Enough said

once in a memory
Once in a memory
The boy played by the small stream running near the hospital
where his mother was a patient and time hung heavy this
afternoon in late September.
The boy picked five elongated leaves from a bush on each one
he put a pebble wanted to see if any leaf/boat survived
the voyage to where the stream went underground.
One leaf made it and should come out where the seaport is.
Once the stream had run free and rapidly crossed the green
field where elderly horses grazed, after a life of pulling
heavy carts, the lady who owned the land...

Brave Escape
I'm not afraid of you
I remember how it used to be
I never had the right answers
There was always a reason
To put me in my place.
I was so ashamed of you
Of how you abused me
It was like a life sentence
It was always the season
For a punch in the face.
One day I got away from you
I was feeling brave
Goodbye my brother
I felt saved and safe.
But I never truly got away.
There were always others.
That acted the same.
So now I choose solitude.

Blood brother
It’s you brother
Whom I remember
Those sparkling blue-sky eyes
Blinking softly at me
Wrinkled smile
I can barely see
I lost you then lost myself
In an agitated and endless sorrow
A dead weight of sad, salty confusion
Blind sided by the circumstances of your own demise
Unbeknownst, you drank from the poison chalice
Then followed
A drowsy suffocating death
Not of your choosing
Your feathered blonde lashes, kid
Resting below the clouds that hide your lids
Asleep despite the chaos of our...

UNHAPPY MOTHERS DAY
37 yrs of a motherless mothers day.
37 yrs of sadness.
37 yrs of watching others celebrate Mother's day with happiness on their faces.
Whereas on each mothers day there's nothing but sadness on my face.
37 yrs and some odd months since mom was taken from her earthly existence.
37 yrs of her chillin in God's presence.
37 yrs of 2 sons without a mother.
37 yrs of 2 depressed lonely brothers.
Some say you should be happy for them that they are no longer suffering and in pain.
They are with the lord in heaven.
If you lost your mother at a...

a fine day in Cascais
A fine day in Cascais
A beautiful spring day in Cascais, the centre full of people
which I found a little disturbing.
We moved slowly on old legs like weather bitten barges
in a sea of jubilant racing boats.
It was warm, down by the sea, and we were overdressed.
My wife’s niece had the patience of an angle adjusted her
strides to our gaits, not easy I’m sure she is a picture of
healthy living.
We had lunch, theirs was fish, I settled for a Greek salad
no wine though knows from experience unless you by
a full bottle, the wine...

Epiphany
It was an incredible summer in 1950 the war was over things were getting
back to normal, mother's new boyfriend who worked at a factory had
a rowboat and paid holiday leave. A Sunday early we rowed to a small island
in the bay, mother had brought a blanket, sandwiches in brown paper bags
mostly jam I think and two bottles of soft drink, water and cold milk that soon
was off, and a thermos flask of coffee. The boyfriend gave me a line with
a hook on told me to go fishing- telling me what to do is not easy not even for me-

Sibling
I had grown,
20 years and shy
One of three
Not knowing we
were without.
Youngest to be
and one of a lifetime
without knowing
that there is a piece gone.
When I realised
you were alone
I wept and cried
for how could kin be so?
To make things right
And learn your name
Was a greater joy
Than I ever could explain.
You had lived away
from any help I could give
And all the love,
a brother could need.
But the past is fog
Amongst the clearing
of our bonds. ...

Luce the series
are you there brother?
aye I'm here
cloaked in darkness lest you see me
and alter your course
I move quietly about you
so in tune with my soul I feel it when you reach for me
you know I watch you afar off?
minions keep the perimeter
I wait patiently for you to awaken
then weep bitter tears when I see your eyes glaze over
and you no longer recognize me
do you believe the lie?
don't you know, you are no human
in the immortal halls
you are a well known a warrior of old
blood of my veins ...

the goodbye
The Good-Bye
We walked
To the railway station
Mother
Dressed in an old coat
Fastened with safety pins
waved.
She looked so small wanted to leave the train
Embrace her.
The train moved
I waved
As long as I could see her.
Mother was untidy
Hair
On the sandwiches
She gave me.
At the next stop
I bought a bar of chocolate.

Barstow’s Nostradamus
More than an attempt to get right
with the city of Santa Cruz
childhood home of my buddy Doug
reflections on a Receding Hairline
If ever a listening with the skills
of a bartender graced my life
Doug fit the job to a tee
heart laugh, spot on advice
A sense of right and wrong
refrained from excess in judgement
keen observer of human behavior
more than advanced student of music
Shooting the breeze after work
tour guide of big B
the forecaster of Barstow’s plight
“after the tsunami we’ll be...

Berserker Brothers
here we go...
hunt with stealth oh brotherhood
bring down the hypocrites who sit in judgement falsely
with a wide swing cut their words from their mouths
leering at you like they know better
and don't forget lest history repeat itself
they struck first
my blood beats with passion
anger stirs and I swallow
releasing it in the aether
letting darkness hunt itself
calling down principalities
elitist cunts with prejudice
I call on favors from the immortal
to bring down the giant
we rise and fall ...
