Sick Marriage
He takes care of home, but won’t fuck
“He takes care of the kids, but won’t fuck
“He gives her whatever she ask, but won’t fuck
“Now she’s contemplating about head-hunting for the nut,
“In the beginning he always called her baby
Telling her she would forever be his special lady,
“That he would always treat her brand new
Now he looks at her like dog shit found on his shoe,
“For months and heartbreaking years she attempts to hold on
Trying new things like sending...

The Triangle Mountain
From our hotel balcony, my sister and I have a panoramic view of Sedona's towering red rock formations. One of the red rock faces appears as a simple plane figure, a triangle. It stands out to us because it's simple. The past decades have not been simple, for either of us.
In our otherworldly setting, we talk past and present, wisely leaving the future alone. We compare ravages of aging. "Look at my 90-year-old hands" says J. I laugh at the exaggeration. But even though she is only 15 months my elder, her hands look far older. Age spots, even a ropey vein or two. I try...

marriage
they were having a row
what do you take me for
ever, he said, and you can take me
as you find me
not so clever
I won’t disagree anymore
but we need to get married
right now ..

Gifts
I hear it in your stories
and in rare moments, I've witnessed it:
your gift --
and I marvel at the empathy
with which you guide families
through their worst moments
Never impatient, judgement at bay
Always respectful, giving space
as they cope
and grieve
and make decisions,
wrapped in the stability of your care,
feeling heard and supported.
I wish you could bring the gift home,
but I know it's finite,
and I know it takes its toll.
In weak moments, I'm envious
that they aren't expected...

The Vow
love shown in caresses of gnarled hands
dried out from the spring of youth
skins worn like old Cashmere
that once as in love draped around
shoulders and ample bosom
hair grey highlighted with white
framed her sweet face once so pretty
love in honesty shone through his eyes
as he touched her face vowing eternal
the love of them together in a golden circle
dried out from the spring of youth
skins worn like old Cashmere
that once as in love draped around
shoulders and ample bosom
hair grey highlighted with white
framed her sweet face once so pretty
love in honesty shone through his eyes
as he touched her face vowing eternal
the love of them together in a golden circle

The Angle of Incidence
The Angle of Incidence
An experience,
However
Temporarily
Escaping
The daily
Run
Of the mill
Routine,
May
Feel
Well
Worth it
If the angle
Of incidence
Covers
The gap
Between
The unnumbed
Reality
Of stark living
And that
Pounding
Sense
Of mindless
Security
That
Comes
In the wake
Of turning
Off
The accountability
For the life
Someone
Seems
To have made

Pueblo Wedding
Pueblo Wedding
Cruising the asphalt road to Cibola
Ancient Mission beckons
From the desert shore of a primordial sea
Now sear hills in a brown terrain of mountains
We follow the river of highway
Onto the parking lot
Of the church made from the mud of ages
Shaped by earthen hands of ancestors
Whose chants haunt the whispering wind
Upon parting the gates of the sanctuary
Low and behold a Wedding unfolding
We enter the sacred space
Where ancient art
of pueblo women gathering corn
is frescoed on...

Cavernous Echoes
Cavernous echoes
Inside the chamber
Where dust gathers
Course infinity
Ethereal breath amaze
Comfort succumbs
Filthy hands
Dare to handle
Touch a soul
Death inside
Suffocated prison
Paranoia hinted walls
At the prospect
Closing in
An escape alone
Devoid of purpose
Hidden in truth
Moments recall
Universal secrets
Into the abyss
Graven gaze
Eyes deeply
Fixated hypnosis
Mood transforms
Lust tempts
Deity life transpose
Nothing...

ex
the hiss of the door as it shut unnerved me
I knew it had closed for good
the devil witness your departure
he was first to tell me I was alone
a mistress of fate took you
it was fate she should be there when I faltered
I loved you but not enough
she saw different sides of you
found them endearing
where I was irritated
I looked at you through her eyes
I envied
time wasn't on my side
with bitter tears I look in the mirror
ravaged with age
I look the part of an ex wife
shrewish woman full of regret ...

Seriously Corny
We've always been ride or die
Corny for sure
We've also held each others fears
when life and love got seriously hard
Almost losing your wife and 1st born baby
couldnt even define hard
baby number 2
maybe shes not for you
suicidal~ly and damn you hard
Yet here they both are
Losing incomes and chosing to live on one
ridiculously hard
Almost losing yourself and life partner to PTSD and addiction demons
never ever forget stupid hard
Do we try harder or do we call it quits
the worst kind of fucking hard ...

The One
our time plays like a movie
when I first saw your face
and when we first kissed
the restaurant we went
on our first date
meeting the family
spending our first holiday
our first pet
we took care of them
in our first place
going to my job at the factory
not my first
but felt like my first big responsibility
got a little older, got married
had hardships
lost family, friends, pets
how I miss them
that time flew again
got even older
hobbies changed
we changed, the world changed
yet we...
