the horses
THE HORSES
There was grassland with a river crossing, a natural barrier.
White horses on one side, and muscular brown horses on the other side.
If one looks well, there are foals of mixed race, they good genes and will
in time carve out their land, higher up, near the hills and water.
When farmers wanted a horse for ploughing, they lassoed a brown horse,
for lighter work, like driving the ladies to the church in a buggy, a white horse
was chosen mainly because they were malleable to handle.
Tragedy struck, developers bought the land, houses were built,...

Gogyoshi Poem, Nr.14 — Evening Togetherness
We were lost in different novels
experiencing parallel universes
when I asked Jeeves to make us a pot of tea;
the cat snorted, so I got up and made it myself — and all
in the same room under the same moon.

Fresno
What life would have the man lead?
The one shot in my place,
blood dripping as he ran to safety
just to find company in thieves,
that stole his last moments of comfort
by dumping his body in the road
My mother still has trouble sleeping
I've seen death a hundred ways
I've caused it, I've lived through it
I sat silent as my best friend murdered two people
and in my head,
I had hopes he'd be set free for I know his worth
he was the good one of our group
I the rebel and danger
him the artist and believer

The house that should not be (competition entry)
When stars align and night is still,
And gibbous moon bears eerie chill,
Perched upon, dark dreary hill,
Resides the house that should not be.
Who knows what horrors lurk inside
Where fear and loathing coincide,
And death itself has faltered, died,
How did this abomination come to be?
‘Tis a horrid mystery...
Warped doors and window panes,
Wrapped in howls of fear and pain,
Driving those nearby insane,
It is a malformed monstrosity.
This aberration you will find,
Mercifully, one of a kind,

I Won't Let You In
You didn’t value my love when you had me
Though I loved you the best way I could,
You went away with someone else
Now you call me on the phone
I’m surprised that you remember my number
You say you want to come home,
But I’m afraid I can’t take you back
I know that you’ll keep trying to persuade me
You’re lingering outside in the biting wind,
But I won’t let you in the house
I can’t bear the pain of seeing you go again
Darling, you hurt me deeply once
And I won’t let you do it again
I see you pacing in the driveway

Ode to NJ
New Jersey,
do you make people smarter
because of how much you swear?
Are you training us with your
on and off ramps
to expect anything
and tricking visitors
to think
there is only highway and city
when really
there is Appalachia
and the shore,
and NYC and Philly next door.

Golden Empire
The landscape changes every ten miles in each direction
Ranches and fields to the south and west
A brown panorama due to fracking in the north
And large farms to the east, leading to the mountains
To the southern tip of the Sierras
Although most of the town is flat
On the outskirts
The roads move up and down with the terrain
Where the land is open and wide
On the highways you can drive for miles
And see nothing but fields
You can see the migrant workers
Working under the hot summer sun
Working in the harshest...

lonely jamz
over, over the mountain,
mind on ma baby, swiftly i ride—
lonely, out in the cold night,
looking for some place that i can hide.
when i am back in her arms,
i shall delight in her charms,
kissing her over and over again.
wonderful angel of mine,
sent from the Father Divine,
and i'm gonna love her and love her again.
morning, morning shall find me
back with ma baby and her sweet eyes.
teardrops mingled with sunshine
spring from my heart as softly she cries.
when i am back in her arms,
i shall delight...

lonely, out in the cold night,
looking for some place that i can hide.

kissing her over and over again.
wonderful angel of mine,
sent from the Father Divine,
and i'm gonna love her and love her again.
morning, morning shall find me
back with ma baby and her sweet eyes.

spring from my heart as softly she cries.
when i am back in her arms,
i shall delight...
