Thoughts at Your Funeral
It’s hard to let go
But something seems welcoming about the inevitable
As if the release will end the pain
Or at least make sense after departure
Maybe we try to answer those questions
To have some closure
But we don’t really get everything we want out of life
Perhaps in death
Does reflection lend a hand
In becoming enlightened about all the mystery
But something seems welcoming about the inevitable
As if the release will end the pain
Or at least make sense after departure
Maybe we try to answer those questions
To have some closure
But we don’t really get everything we want out of life
Perhaps in death
Does reflection lend a hand
In becoming enlightened about all the mystery

A Memorial to my Father and Walnuts
I remember my father sitting at the kitchen table
Cracking open walnuts and eating every morsel
Dad was a good eater, chicken was his favorite
When he got done with half a chicken
It looked like a war had taken place on his plate
Bones gleaned of any meat
A spectacle to watch
We always kidded him about it
The walnuts though I never got
He drank celery tonic too
Another non-starter for this cowboy
I never felt like I knew my dad
He was always a quiet man
Gentle but firm, pragmatic
I...

The Late Michael Alldredge
He guest-starred on "The Jeffersons" and "Serpico".
He also guest-starred on "The Bob Newhart Show".
He starred in "The Sting II", "Iron Eagle" and other flicks.
This very talented man died at the young age of fifty-six.
He guest-starred on "The Dukes Of Hazzard" and "Archie Bunker's Place".
Lung cancer ended his life too soon and he was a credit to the Human Race.

~the (un)imagining
amidst the sumptuous
feeding in impending glooms..
trying hard.. to swim against
these blackly enshrouding
opacity clouds.. choking
in noxiousnes..
how foolishly dare-devilish
to act against a devil itself ..
(or is it the destined divinity..)
this mere pure a defying act
of i m a g i n i n g .. yes
(literally reads as if an ‘unageing’)
a rebellion.. a religion
this
imagining..
in the imagining..
the rainy droplets ...

Between Her Thighs
Between her thighs, his head was laid,
A worshipper in fleshly trade.
His tongue explored, his breath a sigh,
As moans escaped her lips on high.
Her hips did rise, her fingers thread,
Through tousled hair upon his head.
He drank her in, a lover’s trance,
Lost within their carnal dance.
Her thighs encased his mortal frame,
A silken prison none could tame.
She gripped, she gasped, her pleasure soared,
While down below, his mouth adored.
A vice-like hold, her climax near,
His muffled cries she could not hear. ...

Lost within their carnal dance.

While down below, his mouth adored.
A vice-like hold, her climax near,
His muffled cries she could not hear. ...

don't leave me...
where are you, my darling?
you no longer visit me in my dreams...
i tried searching you among the stars
but all i could find was traces of your fragrance
lingering amongst the stellar streams.
where have you gone, my sweetheart?
are you hiding behind the lovely moon...
i enquired but it only assured me
saying you would return soon.
night is my refuge
cos it's then when i dream
and meet you soul to soul ...
you no longer visit me in my dreams...

Ancestors
Last night I dreamt
my boys and I carried my father’s coffin
on the way to his final resting site
and when I accidentally tripped
his casket opened
and the man opened his eyes
looked at me and he asked “se acabo?”
(Is it over?)
I said “Yep, the party’s over pops
You gotta rest”
I woke up thinking about him
about his father too
how they died a before their time
how I didn’t find out more about my ancestors

Orgasm or Death
I curled my fingers around him and bowed as if praying. His large hands cupped my crown and warmed me. I looked up into his face. He was a strong man, an older than me, but his eyes looked young. I easily mounted him and began a familiar dance.
I grabbed his hands and held tightly. In my body there rose a tingling, like a pulsating vibrancy. Within moments, I felt energy begin pouring out of my head and a total collapsing…tumbling of time and space.
I fell into a dark pit but wasn’t alone. As if traveling through the history of my life, images of my younger self fell...

Sunday Swan Song
It was the piano that finally made me cry.
I’ve been dispassionate
(to say the least)
about this closure,
knowing that eras end and life goes on –
impatient to rip off the bandage.
Perhaps even a little bitter
about all the years I tried to help
people
think
bigger
even though my faith never completely fit
inside their box.
I think I gave it my best.
I guess they did too –
nurturing me and my kids
through all kinds of storms,
(even when I wasn’t easy to love) ...

18 days, 20 hours... minutes
Ancient wraps whisper.
Time entombed in shadowed breath.
Eternity waits.
Time entombed in shadowed breath.
Eternity waits.
