Shape Shifter
I've inhabited many rooms
for varying lengths of time.
In each I learned
a new shape that fit,
and sometimes it felt like home
(until it didn't)
and the people felt like family
(until they didn't)
and the shape felt familiar
(until it just
didn't)
And I'd go through another door
by choice or by force
and learn another shape
in another room
and it would feel like home...
And another storm would come
and another wind would blow
and suck me out another window
into another room ...
for varying lengths of time.
In each I learned
a new shape that fit,
and sometimes it felt like home
(until it didn't)
and the people felt like family
(until they didn't)
and the shape felt familiar
(until it just
didn't)
And I'd go through another door
by choice or by force
and learn another shape
in another room
and it would feel like home...
And another storm would come
and another wind would blow
and suck me out another window
into another room ...

emptiness
i was searching
my existence
under the
softly swaying night sky,
around the colorless light
n after a moment
a quiet friend came
to meet me...
from behind
from the world of
yellow leaves...
my existence
under the
softly swaying night sky,
around the colorless light
n after a moment
a quiet friend came
to meet me...

Valentine's Day 2020
Love exist
For those who put
themselves out there
Some women are lonely
So show love and respect
On this Valentine's Day
So they can feel
How special they are
For those who put
themselves out there
Some women are lonely
So show love and respect
On this Valentine's Day
So they can feel
How special they are

Festive Solitude
The holidays were quiet
how it all changed
through the years
empty seats at the dinner table
less laughter
So much emphasis
on one day
And this year
as schedules
and timing dictated
I spent it alone
and survived
But I would be lying
if I said I didn't miss the company
Or those smells of the feast
I never thought as I got older
that connection would be farther away
but it is
and I hope that when it finally happens
it will be about...

if I said I didn't miss the company

Cathy's Clown
Of dark schizophrenia, in shadows of illusions
decadent lullabies from the lips of a typhoon
spawning ashes of Glory hearing echoes of soul
balancing the books between fantasy and reality
of insanity, being Cathy's Clown, hearing echoes
decadent lullabies from the lips of a typhoon
spawning ashes of Glory hearing echoes of soul
balancing the books between fantasy and reality
of insanity, being Cathy's Clown, hearing echoes

Trains That Poetry Forgot
Trains That The Words Forgot
Steam and smoke trains, no longer fume, lying like dead corpses or spare parts of what once was called the golden age.If they would fume, they'd only give a plaintive sigh, about their desolate demise, forsaken and rejected........
Thought to have lost their charm, their romance:too much archaic and rusted for a modern glossary,
They don't whistle full-throat screams, when coming into crowded scene, with travelers waiting with roses and flowers.....and home--comers long awaited return, from war, from places never before gone...

Forlorn
Wandering ghost past faces
A feast for their eyes
Yet still unseen

The Hypothermic Heart at 6 am
weary are the willows which
have been forgotten by trellis of ice
ambulances of snow-laked slate roof
bandage desires to guttering flames of a red dress
lonely is, suddenly, the surname bequeathed to
my world from a window closed to human touch
stained glass (he)art reflects mausoleum of unsent letters
memoirs are worth the snow of wordless paper sheets
luminescent air splinters iron and the icy sea
mist seduces the shore line, trawled snow-dust allows
virgin footprints to become the first blunt pen...

Who cares
Your tepid favour not really warming to the thought.
There's no alchemy with which to distil a retort.
Comfort is a stretch, lack the agility to contort.
Best I seem to manage is a tireless distraught.
I'm lonely, saves me being an affliction.
My discomfort puts others in an awkward position.
How timely, seemed an effortless decision.
Left me having trouble remedying this condition.
This bitter flavour, sick having to savour such rancid after-taste.
Try to draw conclusions from the mess I have retraced.
Pointless seeking why it's...

and so loud
yes, I was lazy, but also scared
working in the factory, everything and everyone seemed so hard
to remember it now

Suicide and Murder
in the depths of despair
where hopelessness stands
a sinister voice whispers
kill yourself, die
who are you
I whisper from my isolation
it moans and answers
I am your lover
the torment of fire inside
a raging thirst for companionship
pushed down by despair
alone, no hands reach out
the hard steel against the chest
feels so good like a homecoming lover
to dance with in love's embrace
the knife plunge causing gutteral groans
love throes ejaculations
hands clutching bedclothes
and...

Crippled Predator
A hungry wolf
Afraid to kill rabbits
So you know he ain't going after a deer
Self-imposed sentence of solitude
Without a pack
elk and moose have nothing to fear
Waiting...
Hungrily
Wishing...
and Sorely Lacking
Not in fang nor strength
But confidence,
ferocity
Even the hawk and owl, who rabbits fear,
will not challenge him
They laugh at him
but safely
from a distance
Just in case he remembers
what he really is
