Lost in Post-Feminist Dichotomies
Lost in Post-Feminist Dichotomies
“Sir, I don’t mean to take up too much of your time on this lovely Sunday but tell me, are you married?”
“Well, to my wife in heaven.”
Her girlfriend asks, “Do you believe in heaven?”
“As an abstract concept that may exist in some cosmic way of being.”
“My friend Sherri here has been trying to convince me to give up Christianity. She says my husband is Jewish therefore we should both give up our faiths so we can be the same as atheists. That way we will be on the same...

Anamnesis
And they lived happily ever after
An expanse of laughter lines
Warmly consoled their souls
Until the twilight of old age
Rested itself in their home
Bones no longer clattered
Night came, stars shown
And dawn found them
Huddled together
In everlasting
Peace
Birds sang in grief
At the sunrise
As our spirits drifted
Toward the skies
Wide eyed as one
Together, we’re never alone
In our lover’s arms and
In each other’s hearts
We are never lost
Or forgotten
We are...
An expanse of laughter lines
Warmly consoled their souls
Until the twilight of old age
Rested itself in their home
Bones no longer clattered
Night came, stars shown
And dawn found them
Huddled together
In everlasting
Peace
Birds sang in grief
At the sunrise
As our spirits drifted
Toward the skies
Wide eyed as one
Together, we’re never alone
In our lover’s arms and
In each other’s hearts
We are never lost
Or forgotten
We are...

Even When
You always pick my soul up off the ground
I’m never lost with you around
You always keep me from falling down
By holding onto what we’ve found
I want you/ I need you/ I crave you
-And all the pills and all the highs do not compare to how you make me feel inside
And even on the darkest nights you keep me safe with the angelic light you shine
And even when the world’s lost sight you keep me sane with a familiar simple line- (chorus)
You never let me feel like I could drown
I’m always yours from here and now ...
I’m never lost with you around
You always keep me from falling down
By holding onto what we’ve found
I want you/ I need you/ I crave you
-And all the pills and all the highs do not compare to how you make me feel inside
And even on the darkest nights you keep me safe with the angelic light you shine
And even when the world’s lost sight you keep me sane with a familiar simple line- (chorus)
You never let me feel like I could drown
I’m always yours from here and now ...

HOLD MY HAND MY LOVE
HOLD MY HAND, MY LOVE. TODAY AS WE COMMIT I PROMISE TO BE THERE FOR YOU FOR THE GOOD AND BAD BITS.
I WILL TRY TO ENCOURAGE YOU; TO BE THE ROCK YOU ARE FOR ME AND I'LL ALWAYS HAVE IN MIND THE WAY YOU LIKE THINGS TO BE.
I WILL TRY TO BE POSITIVE; TO SUPPORT AND INSPIRE AND I'LL PROTECT THE PRECIOUS SPARK OF OUR INTIMATE DESIRE.
THEN WHEN YOU NEED A SHOULDER YOU'LL FEEL MY EMBRACE AND AS WE BOTH GET OLDER I PROMISE I'LL STILL LOVE YOUR FACE.
I PLEDGE MY HEART TO YOU AS WE WRITE OUR FUTURE TOGETHER AND THESE ARE MY PROMISES FOR NOW AND FOREVER.

her birthday
Her birthday.
She awoke before her husband, who was the early riser
she was 80 yrs. old it was her birthday and preparing
a great lunch of filet steak with baked potatoes and salat
A lot of food, her husband said, yes, she lied, I have made
food for several days, and can’t cook every day.
She carried the phone in her apron pocket, but it didn’t ring.
After a long delay, she decided it was time for luncheon
Lovely food; she had even opened up a bottle of wine.
No, she wasn’t hungry; her husband knew why and waited,
she cried.
No...

Winter Coffee Love
Winter Coffee Love
Her luster is that of a mother of pearl but her eyes are dark as the Black Madonna painting in a Polish monastery of his wife who waits on a night when the air is heavy with coffee.
“This commissary is solely for coffee and pastries. We don’t serve square meals. But wait until I get off duty and I’ll whip you up a dinner fit for a king.”
“For a moment I forgot where I was. Even though you are my wife here I am your patron to be treated as such.”
“Well, part of my job description is to check the patrons for...

She Was The Only Rose In Osiris’ Wasteland
We fly like angels through tin pan alley on wings of warbled words along trashcan roads to secret wrecks lost in the junkyards of derelict dreams. Drunk on persimmon wine I carry her down memory lane looking for derelict cars in the haze of lost America where crushed beer bottles are strewn on junkyard plantations of golden-age rust buckets. A mustang chassis catches the rain. The concentric circles of a shattered windshield are a catcher of the American dream. The hood is a seat for weary pilgrims who can’t find their way home. Lost in the purple sunset we await the gospel dawn in the...

Father
Father
Father where am I now that you are dust
Are my bones the sunken treasure of your legacy?
Your ghost follows my shadow
like a leper lost in an apothecary of the soul
Who wore a uniform
like a centurion flying on eagle’s wings
On a Hellenic march
to an acropolis of the mind
Where you languished with Mom
in Drachma beatitude
For an unbearable silence
broken by cat murmur
When mercy was a flower
in the shade of a Doric column
Teetering on the brink of tragedy
