I walked in a graveyard
I walked in a graveyard and found
a stone secreted here,
behind this mound of earth
and branch of dying foliage,
the bush the Crypt Keeper.
And on it was written a name
I’d long since ceased to recognise.
‘Relation is it, eh?’ the old attendant said
to me. I turned to him, replied.
‘Relation, yes, but long since dead,
of course.’ The name on it was mine.
a stone secreted here,
behind this mound of earth
and branch of dying foliage,
the bush the Crypt Keeper.
And on it was written a name
I’d long since ceased to recognise.
‘Relation is it, eh?’ the old attendant said
to me. I turned to him, replied.
‘Relation, yes, but long since dead,
of course.’ The name on it was mine.

In this hearth
shards open beyond eyes
filled with eulogies
fierce flames
euphoria glancing
from our skeleton
we are the kernels
flute bones
where love answered
all questions
mother in your ebony hair
we played hide and seek
climbing through light
as frequencies
mausoleums
fingerpainted wallpaper
a rustic lost door hinge hanging
this is the room
now we finally
may step inside
my father arched over an accordeon
weeping into vaporized void

Ash Wednesday
Because I know that fame’s
a thing that can’t be carried with me
when I, as dust to dust,
go down into the grave,
and cannot serve as light or warmth
beneath the earth,
I hope now that my name
will be passed on with love
in an unsullied state
in others’ memory
and will remain marked out
on living tongues
at least a while
as if a flame that brightens
darkness at the end of day.
That is, I think, as much
as one can ask for of
the ever-turning world.

Just Heard That Lisa Marie Died
I just heard that the
King of Rock and Roll's daughter
whose name happens to
be Lisa Marie Presley
died from cardiac arrest.
I bet that Elvis
is in his grave wondering
who would be able
to inherit Graceland
from Lisa Marie's demise.
Personally, I
doubt that her mother would be
the one for the job.
So, it might as well be the
one kid named Riley Keough.
It's either her or
one of the kids she had with
Michael Jackson or
Nicolas Cage or this one
guy who's named Michael Lockwood.

This is Where I Find You
In the first ray of light
Filtering through the trees
Drenching me in warmth
Soft rain filling up my senses
With sweetness and warm droplets landing on cheeks
Wind swirling through my hair
With gentle fingers
Beauty of deep blue skies
That penetrate as deeply
The gaze from your once open eyes
The mist that hangs densely
blanket of cool
Over the scent of pines
Soft clouds wrapping around the moon
Sparkling stars dancing in a blanket
Of dark
...
Filtering through the trees
Drenching me in warmth
Soft rain filling up my senses
With sweetness and warm droplets landing on cheeks
Wind swirling through my hair
With gentle fingers
Beauty of deep blue skies
That penetrate as deeply
The gaze from your once open eyes
The mist that hangs densely
blanket of cool
Over the scent of pines
Soft clouds wrapping around the moon
Sparkling stars dancing in a blanket
Of dark
...
