It Came From Her Room
It arises every morning
Same time and place
It tiptoes on the flooring
Crack of dawn disfigures its face
It displaces its cloak
Compiling its blanket and sheet
Stretching and yawning in a sinister croak
Rubbing its eyes before placing its feet
It slowly cracks open its door
Popping its head out for a peek
Its appetite for play begins to soar
While everyone else is fast asleep
Its body is short and small
With a young look to its age
A creepy silhouette is smeared to the wall
Seek and awake is the only orders to engage ...

Deep & Wide
My father always told me
I lived life a mile wide
And an inch deep
I was never certain if I agreed
Because although I have traveled
Far and continuously
I believe somewhere inside of me
Unhinged
And I can’t decide if
Seeing too much
Is a privilege or a hindrance
But I do know how deeply
I feel about a wide range of places
It’s hard to look at a parent
And see a stranger
So maybe I take their words
With too much weight
Questioning my own character
So maybe I can relate
But...

appleseed: an american king
do i make sense in this aqua world
so hard to type without any control
slowly being peppered over shots of waves
keys waver merry to wave hail a banding
of blood-sworn from king to inappropriate
sheers glistened from the traverses
of hooking lips or that of claws rasped
do you sense land bobbing beyond promises
looking for the vulpine connects to space
looking along the telescope for a rainbow road
are you the princess once the void bends
forward coring the apple tree
are we late pink are we...

"A" haikus
we avoid the looks
the arch cherry tree in March
near-by Arlington
anarchy aglow
pear tree to nowhere April
plane trip over lines
avail and anvil
our apple blossoms smear May
down in Wenatchee
appease the in-laws
June eats a plum pie by Lake
Coeur d’Alene
amends of the heart
makes the art of July green
over cherry trees

A March of Ages
Temporal otters of Hylebos Creek.
Father came to us on a mission,
ice-cream scooping with the truck bed,
to witness what being up the creek is like.
I tiptoed scissor fingers over
their slicked-back manes,
not cutting- venturing a floe bridge
of play and birth-rites to a time
before evangelical electricity
imitated stars as an earthy following
of the Mother Lantern that forever cyclicly
is snuffed by the robed lamp-legion
armed with golden staffs tipped
by voiceless bells, a tintinnabulation
of dark...

Our Story
From across the aisle
I caught a glimpse of your smile
Shyly, I turned away
Losing a bit of heart that day
But the sound of your laughter filled my soul
More than you will ever know.
I never believed in love at first sight
Until I met you and the moment seemed right.
We walked through the park and tasted mangos with lime
We made the most of our limited time.
We walked hand in hand like lovers, not friends
But our first encounter was a start, not an end
Long after you were gone, I still smelled your scent ...

The branched cousins
Will we hold down a chain of hands for the estranged?
Will we gather as a village at the mine’s collapse
that is to say- the collapse of family ties?
Do we try on your Gulf War gas mask despite the chemistry
of oil drum patterns sunk in your daughter's brain
and the possibility of fear streaks left inside as an epitaph?
Do we say this man filled up his 7-11 XL plastic cup
with vodka on fire and we will Slurpee you out
years later after his...

A Love Letter (To Everyone I Love And Hate)
They don't like what I'm doing
Who I'm becoming
nose rings and tattoos
and she's a lesbian?
god the horror!!
But the funny thing is
I've never felt more like me
I am becoming who I should have had the courage to become
I have the courage to not care what the fuck you think
I have the courage to walk past your judgment
Your stupid sticks and stones
You may love me
But you don't love me
Who I'm becoming
nose rings and tattoos
and she's a lesbian?
god the horror!!
But the funny thing is
I've never felt more like me
I am becoming who I should have had the courage to become
I have the courage to not care what the fuck you think
I have the courage to walk past your judgment
Your stupid sticks and stones
You may love me
But you don't love me

Ostentatious Caducity
12/30
Ostentatious Caducity
Fifty shots (last year) in November
Cemented future move in May
Last year this year
My only Family is moving away.
Relocated because I love
the DRY HEAT
added Bonus, my ancient Mom
Sister & Brother-in-Law,
as well
HAVE NO IDEA how I’m gonna
live without a Family
I never KNEW for near
three decades!
My Mom’s Dementia Deception
Is backfiring
but at this point in time
She doesn’t see
very well.
All I can do...
