Letter From a Dead Man
the obituary~
the news is old
but the pain of death
is new... again
you took all my options
for reconciliation,
swallowed them down
with cheap vodka
and finally got some sleep
my earliest memory of you
remains a dust cloud
of machine-gunned questions;
your round, 8-year old face
with eyes that were always
a little too frantic,
hands twisting into each other
while I gathered my timid words
to provide answers;
you never seemed to mind,
playing jump rope
with...

A Memory of Sunlight
I can’t help but wonder
If partings begin to take
Their shape,
In our earliest moments
Together
Wind occasionally bends the
Downpour, toward
Us, lifts your
Age thinned
Hair, with phantom
Fingers
Caress
You look at everything
As if,
It may not be
Real,
Composed of some
Momentary
Whimsy,
Hanging beneath the
Hammer
Of some atmospheric
Thunder,
Moments before
A meteoric
Impact,
Lays waste to everything
Are there
Apparitions

HOW I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU
Remember when we first met you were there sitting at the table and our eyes met, across the crowded and darken room and it was at that moment within time that I could picture us together as one. For even though you had your guards up, I understood that you've been hurt by someone and it takes time and effort and patience. To deal with the process of the pain that still is heavy upon your heart, making you afraid to trust to love and to be able to see the difference, between who I am and who I am not to be as I am not them. For they say the best way to heal is to be able to see not what is...

Canto X: The Burning Tree
As nightfall showed its early signs above,
we rose and went about our sabotage.
Taking Kerosene which we had kept
for use when wits had failed to kindle flame
and sneaking past the beasts which lightly slept,
we doused the tree, and emptied the supply.
Then, setting fuse at length, we stepped aside,
and waited for disorder to ensue.
Just as the sun will purge the murk of night
and spread infection through the flesh of night,
so our device reversed the course of night
and rotted, fast, its flesh, the tree alight
in moments, fire...

Animals
I wasn't sure we were the same
Until last night
We played a game
Twenty four hours
You and me
And some of our work family
After hauling the night shift
A smile readily on your face
Two alcoholix together
Enjoying a morning chase
Shots with breakfast tacos
You talk of spending more time
How about you get some sleep
And ill meet with you tonight
Yeah
To you
I can't say no
We meet with others so
We got chaperones
At the hotel all of us
Huddled together...

Canto IX: The Hunt Continues
We wandered North, in slow pursuit of them,
half hindered by the shaky ground between
our friendship, half by dehydration-pain.
Before much time had passed we found the signs
of their society. We ventured forth.
I welcomed that reprieve adrenaline
provides from thought and ache as we became
adjusted to the business of the hunt.
The vision of the blackened babe erased,
I turned my thoughts to tracks and scents and gut.
An hour passed us, neither spoke but let
the forest music fill the space between.
We needed only one Wolf...

His Name Is Jordan!!
He holds you down like the ‘RIVER JORDAN’.
As peaceful as the singing birds in dawns first light.
So joyous as a hymn on gospel Sunday.
He is as calming as April showers and May flowers.
Happy as a little kid with a new toy.
Handsome as the day his mother welcomed him into this world.
He goes by the name Jordan!!
Heavenly sent by our Almighty Father.
He’s as sweet Hershey Kisses.
Forever loyal to his future Mrs.
His name is Jordan!!
Goes by @sloflow_jay.
No worries, best believe he’ll make everything okay.
When you’re...

Those were the days
.. right?
When we stayed up half the night
yet managed to wake every morning
without alarm clock assistance
under an armed guard escort
to the promise of adventure!
or boredom
that could simply be alleviated
with a boardgame
or a soccer competition in the yard
complete with garbage cans as goals
and ball stuffed with actual socks
because ... poverty + imagination ...

Have You Ever?
Ever Had Your Heart Broken Into So Many Pieces It Seemed Impossible To Put Back Together?
Ever Had A Relationship/Friendship End With Someone Whom You Thought You’d Always Be Together?
Ever Felt Safe Whenever You Looked Into Their Eyes;
Ever Thought They Were The Absolute Greatest...Like A #1 First Place Prize?
Ever Been Surprised When They Turned On You Out Of The Blue;
Ever Thought That You Guys Were Tighter Than Glue?
Ever Thought The Words That Spoke Were Truer Than True?
Ever Been Backstabbed By Your Bff, Babe Or Boo?
Ever Been So...
