The Empty Chair ( for Amy & all who have lost someone )
Christmas is an empty chair
donning a dining table
during holiday—
Condolences haunt
as words, until meaning
fumbles between our lips
We flail at half-loss
as razor blades, slicing
inadequacy apart
Yet, offer them regardless
to salvage the wreckage
of our helplessness
Praying our brave dearth
proves comfort enough

We flail at half-loss

Xmas ...again
I’m wading through the crap of crimble
parading my phony smile
the mince pies taste like plastic
polluting my inner child
While Santa’s abusing his reindeer
faking snow upon the hills
the malls are filled with zombies
maxing their credit card bills
And once again stressed families
panic to share a meal
Thank God it’s not that often
the pudding and goose ordeal
So as our belts begin to tighten
and we’re stuffed with Xmas cheer
would it not be so much nicer
to have it every other...

nineteen sixties
donkeys are nicer than hotels
that clog up the scenery of the beaches as they carry kids along the
sand upon which
the hoteliers will never never understand

An Afternoon Siesta
post New Year
exhaustion
a siesta
the tension fades
drifting away
fleeting images come and go
scenes of childhood
whispers of mist
the touch of the sun
cairns and castles and rugged terrains
sea and grass
wind and rain
cliffs and meadows and ice cream vans
the afternoon siesta
a childhood remembered
exhaustion
a siesta
the tension fades
drifting away
fleeting images come and go
scenes of childhood
whispers of mist
the touch of the sun
cairns and castles and rugged terrains
sea and grass
wind and rain
cliffs and meadows and ice cream vans
the afternoon siesta
a childhood remembered

Pumpkin Spice
Taurus field makes the ghost.
An evil laugh.
Souls who roast.
October night,
Moon in the sky.
Dreamers lost in a lullaby.
Fate comes to harvest the rye.
Grains of sorrow, that multiply.
The taco shell,
So crunchy and dry.
The forbidden fruit.
Hidden inside.
The spicy congregation,
Amongst the coast.
The Brookshire train wreck.
Victims tied to a post.
An exhilarating sensation.
While the mannequins pose.
The godless ritual,
Of being betrothed.
The pumpkin ripened in a pie. ...

A Merry Metal Xmas
Merry Christmas, to all the poets/poetesses here at DU. This year was only the beginning, folks. Seems arriving here has put some wind in the sails of my creative journey. That was my Christmas gift, I received from my fellow writers here at DU. You all helped me rise again like a glorious phoenix. Or some other town in Arizona. lol. What movie did I quote that line from? Anybody? I know who'll take a stab at it, and will probably get it right.
