For my birthday
Not even a cupcake
With a novelty candle that doesn't blow out
Nor a fancy pair of socks
Wrapped in satirical jocks
Just severed dreams
Those forlorn kinds for broken guys
Blown out thongs
That's flip-flops for them
not familiar with aussie vernacular
Cruising about in a rose pink cadillac
Top down
Washing away all those tears in rain
Gone
Forgotten
Forsaken
Who the fuck knows
Why should you care?
Celebrate?
Another year older
Another day further from your...

Christmas
I remember the Christmas lights the best
decorating our tree with dazzling colors
so shiny next to the tinsel
the brightly wrapped packages
and my dreams of what would be awaiting me Christmas morning
I would watch all night waiting for Santa to come
bringing gifts for me and my sisters
I could barely stand the wait
until then we baked Christmas cookies
and made lists for the man himself
my dad was my favorite part of the season
he loved Christmas and would always go out of his way
to make it beautiful for us

Merry Christmas
A smiling Claus on the card
Makes little stitches in my heart
It holds the secret to some words
That are shallow, but still hurt
I cannot stop, you make me cry
The same card as... every time
You ask me if I was alright -
Oh, wait, a tear dropped on that line
For it is every other season
For no however reason
You compose this shallow poem
This charade of care and worrying
Pretend you've changed in words and rhythm
Gentle asking, no sin admitting
But you know real change from that fall
Would be sending no card at...

An Open Letter to My Father
12/20/2018
Dear Frank, I want to be frank with you,
I want to be open and honest with what I’m about to say,
Because even though I said goodbye some time ago,
I’m blue because today it ended this way.
I know you had your demons, they’re hard to let go,
But you fought hard and fell and got up and fell again,
And though you didn’t always make the best choices,
After so many long talks, I know there was good in you.
I know we laughed, we cried and you tried,
But I always loved hearing you talk to your grandchildren,...

Sad songs and lullabies
Six long years
Flew by
Blinking eye
Many questions
No answers
That sad song
Carries on
One picture was too big an ask
Some face time for a daddy
And his daughter
Ha
Sure
No chance
What does her voice even sound like?
What does she look like now?
Will she remember him?
as he fondly holds her
in his heart
Maybe this time
Things will be different
Perhaps this time
A new years embrace
Or rather
Concerns for the new moon
...

orphan
There’s a day that is coming when all the last will be first and
every orphan will be home.”―Steven Curtis Chapman
afghan wars
have orphaned me,
in stages.
silent stars
weep over me,
for wages
overdue
cannot be paid

How Do I Get It Out Of My Head?
There is one image I will never get out of my head
As much as I wish I could wash it from my memory forever
My father laying semi conscious in a hospital bed
Fighting the sedation when he hears us speaking in the hall nearby
An incision his collar to his waist
A tube down his throat,
A look of utter terror on his face
The nurse has us move away from the room
Trying to avoid startling him
My father needs his rest
Still as he can possibly be
My father kept trying to wake up
So they put him under
The phrase "medically...

No Daughter Of Mine Should Be In A Beauty Pageant
Keshia smiled and
thought "Soon, the
crown will be mine"
only to have her
see Dad among
the other judges.

This is None Of Your Business
Brian found an old
black n white photo
of a woman who is
not his mom walking
barefoot on a beach.
That was before Dad
took the pic from him.

Dewey of garden graze
He fed and
Raised me
Upon
A surgical clinic
He runs.
To
Hades rising.

Whoops!
Sorry, Dad. We didn't mean to have you walk
in and see us like this. I know that what
I am about to say is something you would
not believe. You see, what we are doing is
rehearsing a sex scene for a latest movie.
