Use the Damn Turn Signal
Our first argument
You didn’t use the turn signal
While switching lanes
On the highway
In a snow storm
You’ve never driven in snow before
And I lost my shit
You drove on
Patiently
As my eyes burned fire
I stopped spewing cuss words
And zipped my mouth
However, I do believe
The word irrational was said
Maybe
Not maybe
More than once
Not one to use traumatic experiences
As an excuse
I kept my zipped mouth
Zipped
And seethed
...

Spoils of war
We fought a battle fierce and long
with so many good memories lay martyrs to hate
as I walked over their lifeless bodies
realizing they have been relieved of their debt

Old Grudges running wild
In the rearview mirror, old tales unfold,
You wield the past, a story retold.
Nursing a grudge, it's a dangerous game,
Our love caught in its relentless flame.
Lost, my love, in this tangled mess,
I've said sorry, hoping to confess.
But if this saga goes on, takes hold,
Our love story might just run cold.

Things Unknown
As a proponent of peace and harmony,
I always find it unsettling
to discover that behind the scenes
there are things unknown
- conflict and cruelty,
disparaging remarks
This place has always been a refuge
to freely express
without the scrutiny of judgement
and it bothers me
that people will provoke others
and try and pick away
at the creative gifts,
we only crave to share
with others
Much of what I say,
is unspoken in the real world,
and I save it
for the explorers
and the dreamers, ...

Breakup
Every time we argue,
you threaten to walk away,
dangling the threat
with a dose of emotional fray.
One day, I'll just depart,
silently, without much talk.
No more blackmail or despair,
just the freedom of my lone sail.

Plot twist
Reaching for a hand
bumped a trigger instead
Watching the projectile enter between ribs
Standing frozen
in that familiar helpless distortion
Reality melting as ears buzz
with the roar of silent confusion
Feeling the slow explosion inside
fragments flying off in all directions
lodging in heart, brain, throat
Smearing memories, slicing futures
This was an unforeseen plot twist
But look!
That growing red stain is so pretty
I guess this is how the end begins
.

Cracked Ribs
When I inhale
It’s so painful
When I exhale
It’s still stressful
I can’t even sigh
How can something
So hurtful
Keep me alive
It hurts to breathe
And yet I’m still here
Words have a way of
Pushing me down
They have their way
Of not making a sound
My hearts too big
It doesn’t fit
But forgiveness
Expands brittle ribs
His words, they crack my ribs
His works, they crack my ribs
Someone
Please make it stop
Someone
Please help me call the cops ...

sun in your eyes
Sun in your eyes
in the white sea of sun-bleached straws
I saw a crow struggle and drown
in the glare
I was given a chance to see and hear
intimately to know
an eddy of hot water hotter than lava
running down the drain
the Australian way
This was hell, escaped.
From the struggle of the past...Dancing
in obscene sexuality
I heard the raw laughter from the mouth
of a toothless whore
like gaping sores of syphilis
I also heard sweet music
In the evening
I was salvaged by a crow
in the white sea of sun-bleached straws
I saw a crow struggle and drown
in the glare
I was given a chance to see and hear
intimately to know
an eddy of hot water hotter than lava
running down the drain
the Australian way
This was hell, escaped.
From the struggle of the past...Dancing

man and his dog
Man and his dog
He awoke under the bed it had been his birthday
drinking champagne, eating Danish pastry, and smoking Havana cigars
He walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge took out
a beer, which he thirstily drank while wondering why
everything was so quiet
The maid had been in when he slept and everything was in order; when did the guests leave, or had he partied with his teddy bear, being lonely since his dog died
Looking out of the window he saw many cars, they had
no drivers and some had open doors as abandoned in haste, but what had...

What's inside
Open wide that trap.
Let me know what you think.
I'm attached to your trap,
and what comes out of it.

In Contempt of Court
How can your heart be In contempt of court of the sentimental sort . For the audacity of giving it honesty without conditions . Only to be returned marked not required Please adhere to the bail conditions . Do not contact curfew electronic tag . As you wonder what happened to that love you once had while trying to abide by the rules of the broken kind .

whose fault
Whose fault?
Youth is the time we make mistakes, we regret
and before I say anymore, why have I never walked
into a murder scene like Hercules
I have not met anyone I love as much as you
she said the woman who lived in the lake
who at full moon caught trout with her bare hands
and had a bosom as generous as her love.
Oh, mirror, so high up on the wall, she was right in what
she had said, the world was mine
I danced by the candlelight lit by my vanity
Her rowing boat was found in the fjord,
had gone out fishing for...
