Out Of Reach Of The Ones Who Happen To Drive Her Crazy
She
looked all
over and
found the perfect
place to get herself
just out of reach of the
ones who happen to drive her
crazy which include her mom and
dad. Now, she could be able to get
a tan outside without any problems.

Terrenes
25/30
Terrenes
Rarely had real life stars
guiding me as I maturated
from a curious boy to
confusion then awake
1 or 2 along each decade
Or so pointing out
a lane, not necessarily
THE PATH
However, the beacon
lighthouse at a jetty’s
end always ever there
Mom
(and her Mom)
Both candles
wicks to short to keep lit
cremated
their wit & wisdom
cemented
I like to believe I can capture
a glimpse, a wisp of
a soft chuckle between
breezes – cool...

Put It ToThe Test
I am, inherently,
an emotional restrictor
as was my father before me
and his before him
keeping strong emotions contained
particularly anger,
indignation, and resentment
lest by their expression
I drive away a loved one or friend
for fear of abandonment
is a life-long obsession
But is it not
the most empirical
of litmus tests,
to measure fraternal devotion
when one can express
a panoply of emotion
love, fear, joy, anger, resentment, or grief;
to list a principle few,
without suffering...

The Inside Place
It’s a thing, right?
when we see our children
heading in a similar direction
as we did long ago
hoping that they listened to our advice
or at least take into consideration
the scars we bear
maybe it’s a trend?
One where we have to let them feel the burn
and let them learn on their own
because life’s lessons are more impressionable
when they are experienced first-hand
maybe I worry too much?
maybe this is also part of the parenting process
letting adult children find their own way
while all you can do is...

He Told Me To Stay Out Of His Room. Now I Know Why.
I walk into my
brother's bedroom and found this
porn mag on that guy's bookshelf.

by the ocean with you
Delicate breezes
ruffle blonde sea-salted hair
cool wind on warm skin
You smile like the ocean
infinity exhales
Memories live here
made of sweet sunlit bubbles
and pure smiles
Let me take some photographs
pin down all these small moments
I want this to last
beyond sunset's warm goodbye
today's history
Eyes closed, I breathe everything
I cannot capture today
ruffle blonde sea-salted hair
cool wind on warm skin
You smile like the ocean
infinity exhales
Memories live here
made of sweet sunlit bubbles
and pure smiles
Let me take some photographs
pin down all these small moments
I want this to last
beyond sunset's warm goodbye
today's history
Eyes closed, I breathe everything
I cannot capture today

frozen
I'm frozen in time
immovable
forever the same in your eyes
Time passes
poison ivy grows
where love once bloomed
Do you remember me
as anything more than
a rebellious child searching for freedom?
Will I ever be anything more
than a mistake of fate
that you wish died at birth?
I've spent my whole life
defying the odds
stacked against me
But I'm only useful if I'm useful
and I've never been useful
by the standards you've set
I try and hold on to better...

Kalamazoo Kathedral
Kracked-out, Kolostomy Konnection in Kalamazoo
Don't try and find me here
Last time I was in Kalamazoo
Someone tried to finger my rear
Kracked-out, Kolostomy Konnection in Kalamazoo
Kathedral has no flock
Last time I was in Kalamazoo
The priest tried to suck my kock
Kracked-out, Kolostomy Konnection in Kalamazoo
My backside is red and raw
Last time I was in Kalamazoo
My aunt is a part time whore
Kracked-out, Kolostomy Konnection in Kalamazoo
Religion is never on my mind
Last time my mother got naked here ...
Don't try and find me here
Last time I was in Kalamazoo
Someone tried to finger my rear
Kracked-out, Kolostomy Konnection in Kalamazoo
Kathedral has no flock
Last time I was in Kalamazoo
The priest tried to suck my kock
Kracked-out, Kolostomy Konnection in Kalamazoo
My backside is red and raw
Last time I was in Kalamazoo
My aunt is a part time whore
Kracked-out, Kolostomy Konnection in Kalamazoo
Religion is never on my mind
Last time my mother got naked here ...

You Dare To Disobey Me?!
You dare to disobey me?!
You promised to love, honor and obey!
Instead, you're cheating on me!
You stripped and let another hump you!
And he happens to be my son!

Savage Daughter
There’s nothing like a parent’s pride
When they witness the strength in their children
When in difficult times their resilience comes through
Whether it’s a reflection in their upbringing
Or an observation about their character
And nothing makes a man more happy
Then to see his daughters thrive
Whatever comes their way
I know they will be OK
Because they have their mother’s toughness
Their ancestors’ spirit
And the freedom to be themselves

Easter
Late night poetry --
Inertia has struck again
or maybe it's just the chocolate
or the comfort of this couch
Sitting with all my kids
and their significant others
watching - of all things -
The Prince of Egypt.
They always loved the humour
the animation
the music...
I made them come to church
for the last time today.
I don't expect belief or reverence
-- don't have much of that myself --
They're finding their own
versions of faith now

Grief Isn’t Always Complicated
I think I’ve been preparing for the inevitable
We all are
We talk about it with logic and reason
As if that will soften the emotional blow
I’ve been preparing poetry in my native tongue
So that she knows how much I appreciate her
How much we love her…
She once told me that after she lost her two-year-old
Back in 1950
She didn’t cry
Like some kind of numbness washed over her
That although she felt sorrow and sadness
Stoicism helped her manage
While still taking care of her newborn
We somewhat deduced ...
