Canto IV: The Hunt
Soon thereafter camps were closed for good,
and all of us, the poor, expelled into
The Black Valley. The intervening years
put time and distance in between we two,
toiling, separate, for our families.
We met again by chance years later when,
on hunt, our villages had joined our best.
Hardened by the constant fight to breathe
the man before me bore a small resemblance
To the scrawny child planted in the earth,
and I was much the same. The time and plight
had withered from my limb all happy green.
By contrast, his was as a winter...

Dinner With a Stranger
Dinner With a Stranger
Mom and I are approached in a parking lot at night by an espresso complexioned young woman. Unlike most beggars she asks us if we need any help instead of requesting alms for the poor. I ask her for directions to the hardware store. She says, “Let me show you,” and hops in the back seat of our car to guide us through the night.
While the woman directs us Mom says she is hungry and needs to go home.
The woman says, “Oh let’s go to my place so I can cook for you. I make a sumptuous gluten-free casserole of polenta and...

Canto II: Friendship Seeded
Liquor in his hand, the drunkard sat
and listened as she told it from the start:
In the final days of that most recent flood
when all of us, displaced, corralled, encamped
felt the force of hunger in our pits,
when also was the White Plague freed from ice,
I first met Hul, the boy who trailed The Man.
Though monstrous was The Man, who cained and beat
as though we poor were mongrels, groveling
at supper-time, embarassing the master,
young Hul would look upon his master’s works
with pangs of empathy behind big eyes
that cruelty...

Curtains
Through the crack in the curtains
I dimly, without attention,
Discern that a van is reversing
And we should steer clear.
Flickering, my mournful tablet
Shows a leathery hand - old, strong,
Fingers full of music
Touching a tiny one
With love and delicacy
Met by a curious fist
Grasping for wisdom.
It's a hand I once grasped and found full
Of friendship, fun, foolishness
Skill and streetwise laughter
And the will to keep a smile going
On our absurd mirthless journey.
We giggled our way...
I dimly, without attention,
Discern that a van is reversing
And we should steer clear.
Flickering, my mournful tablet
Shows a leathery hand - old, strong,
Fingers full of music
Touching a tiny one
With love and delicacy
Met by a curious fist
Grasping for wisdom.
It's a hand I once grasped and found full
Of friendship, fun, foolishness
Skill and streetwise laughter
And the will to keep a smile going
On our absurd mirthless journey.
We giggled our way...

Flitter Bug
So I’m invited to a
housewarming party out
in Hyde Park
the old work friend has
just finished having her
place remodeled and
wants to show it off
I’d just given up booze for
Lent, so I’m able to drive
straight over there from
work
6pm to 9pm the
invitation said
I get there, and there’s
two old guys eating
ribs and cold pizza at
the new counter
One is a palm reader and
astrologist who is planning
to set up his table and
start reading palms as
soon as...

Down But Never Out
Some of you thought that my last little Boo, was nothing but a trick whore
But that's because her true value, she just didn't know
Easy to bend, she fell victim to anything with a dick
They all sat out to abuse her ass, but admitted that Boo was thick
But my Boo was in the game, since way back in the days
She was more than a one night stand, she had lived the home way
The friday nights payoffs, swerving curves looking for a party
Sundays down by the lake giviing it up on the back of his Harley

The Wrong Impression
You’ve got the wrong impression about us.
And it’s time to address the matter.
I really don’t want to hurt your feelings.
Even though this may disappoint you,
I regard you as just my friend.
If I knew a better way to handle the situation,
Honestly, I wouldn’t do this to you.
You asked me if I love you and I said yes,
But I didn’t explain exactly what I meant.
I must tell you before things go any further.
I love you as a spiritual sister.
And I think you’re an excellent person.
But as for erotic love, I’m so sorry, my dear, ...

Keening Heard Over Howling Sunsets
torturous aches could be felt
through disjointed chosen words;
typically displayed broken apart
by hyphenated dashes and
various dots
yet with she and I
there was always understanding; a respect
for our unique way of thought
regardless being diagnosed the same
when wires connected
ours were differently crossed
we had toasted so many countless
times
having made it through another
day—
as tissues were raised in one trembling
hand; a glass in the other...

Bad Luck
You act against common sense, defying what you know is best
Put lust before a proper dose of skeptical analysis
Blinded by desperate times and unreliable self-evaluations
You weighed your value falsely and quit relying on my guidance
Guess our perspectives are so aligned, I count on you to discover the truth autonomously
Both imperfect by design, we're doomed to destroy ourselves chasing inadequate desires inevitably
I only say this all so honest because our similarity supersedes the rest
Trust your own reasonable prescience instead of searching...
