Puling Juliet (what’s in a name)
My back arches
in requiem of
our loss
the only thing
I ever wanted
to be called was…
Yours.

Don't Step In It
Plum tree full, over ripe
mushy under my bare foot
bear scat on the ground
mushy under my bare foot
bear scat on the ground

3 p.m. storms
The glass is cool and clear
against my forehead
fat listless raindrops
echo the empty
thunder in me
I watch the
storm with
held breath
and wet shoulders
against my forehead
fat listless raindrops
echo the empty
thunder in me
I watch the
storm with
held breath
and wet shoulders

Scorn
Her eyes
Her icy deep blue eyes
Brimstone and fire
No greek god
No combination of greek gods
Could equal the fury he sees
He knows what he's done
Best to crawl away
And disappear
Her icy deep blue eyes
Brimstone and fire
No greek god
No combination of greek gods
Could equal the fury he sees
He knows what he's done
Best to crawl away
And disappear

bitter vines
i tasted
her flowers
as if
i were
a bee
i found
them growing
wildly
on bitter
vines
in
the closed
garden
of her soul
and
i drank
her poison
now,
i go off
and die
even lonelier
her flowers
as if
i were

vines

and
i drank
her poison
now,
i go off
and die
even lonelier

within haunting dreams
i chased
that
black velvet
of a sky,
no moon,
no stars
to dance
to the music
the night
plays,
only shadows
that creep
upon
the strangers
there,
with
all the rest
that reside
within
haunting dreams.

Sins Entombed
When my sins are entombed in
the layered rocks of geological time,
will my convictions of guilt or innocence
influence those still walking the earth above?

I made songs with no rhythm
waiting for you to listen
the dark brown inside my eyes

Time
I go about
Wasting time
As though dawn
May grant a little more
Failing
To realize
I may not be swept
Upon tomorrow’s shore

On The Day After The New Year's Eve Party
Arleen
was discovered
sitting at some cafe
in January drinking a cup
of coffee and nursing a hangover.

Dancing To The Stellar Frequency Of NGC 7317
Underneath atmosphere
I can feel you are here
If I take your dreams away
Will you dive through another day?
Let loose the anchors
Of your past
I can feel you are here
If I take your dreams away
Will you dive through another day?
Let loose the anchors
Of your past
