southern night
such a night
whenever shown,
grace and charm
attired,
glance
lovely beacon
once possessed,
floating
like driftwood,
dotting the fields
in haze,
gently placed
that spirit
further
across midnight
hedges,
in flower
and flames,
in the footsteps
of youth,
cordial
and bearing
free,
solitary
befits you still.

On One Saturday Morning
Billy was watching
cartoons on one
Saturday morning
and not paying
attention to Krusty
the cat who stared
at the laces on his
blue sneakers.

Sorry
Telling you off, it felt so good
Arguments so petty come and go
Surprise, I’ve held in the moment I’d seek revenge
Letting go made me feel sorry
Arguments so petty come and go
Surprise, I’ve held in the moment I’d seek revenge
Letting go made me feel sorry

A Locked Room
locked door
dark room
cold porcelain
yellowed tiles
shining silver
I was small, so small
I just wanted to feel big
a river of red
an accident
people
so many people
it feels like I’ve never left

was I seven or eight
that tatty old bear was in bed with me until
when, precisely, mother, did you throw teddy out?

Fallacy
As a child
I was brought up
To Believe
That adults
Always knew better
Now i'm an adult myself
I realise
That this is a
Myth

Where Are My Mommy And Daddy?
I saw this little
girl looking at me with worry
in her eyes for her parents.

Youngest
There was never a medal
for simply keeping up.
That much was expected.
What was not expected
was for me to have
thoughts
an opinion
a say.
There's so much catching up to do...
for simply keeping up.
That much was expected.
What was not expected
was for me to have
thoughts
an opinion
a say.
There's so much catching up to do...

loot
scrumping apples from a garden, when suddenly the kitchen door opens and we run like hardened criminals, dropping most of the fruit

Father's Day
Wish
once I had
wished him
on a
father's day!
Probably
would’ve
asked me
what
it was...

Bending of metal, rotting of wood at the crest of Dixie
Elderberry
equinox
October's darting hellfire fox
poltergeist
zodiac
heavy poured French cognac
scorpion
Holston river
awkwardness is best remembered
south Knoxville
brazen
basement musk
sunset hills
lawnmower dusk
