Acorn
Be patient in opening
for 'Nature's first green'
Acorn, your golden root
twisting invisibly underfoot;
Herald death instead: summer --
its scorched scarecrow shriveled
reigning rows of cracked sod
under abandoned nests of crow
Welcomed by autumn's bijou;
true citrine, ruby-fired blue
shedding her legacy of skin
to bury your amber hull
Pray for that frozen grave
overlooked by foraging squirrels;
sleep until the frigid thaw
severs winter's umbilical cord
For to survive time as...
for 'Nature's first green'
Acorn, your golden root
twisting invisibly underfoot;
Herald death instead: summer --
its scorched scarecrow shriveled
reigning rows of cracked sod
under abandoned nests of crow
Welcomed by autumn's bijou;
true citrine, ruby-fired blue
shedding her legacy of skin
to bury your amber hull
Pray for that frozen grave
overlooked by foraging squirrels;
sleep until the frigid thaw
severs winter's umbilical cord
For to survive time as...

Bonfire, Summer 2002
The night is fair and studded with the glow
of citronella candles, lightning bugs,
the flare of cigarettes, and flashing smiles.
She shrugs, the bottle at her lips a choice
that makes her smirk and turn her wandering eyes
to laughing bodies sweating in the heat.
Her limbs feel light, she moves to claim her prize.
She takes a seat, his lap is hot and firm
and soon his hand is on her flushing skin.
They share a beer and kisses, lost to all,
as lips demand a taste of salty sin.
The others cheer and leave them all alone
to lose...
of citronella candles, lightning bugs,
the flare of cigarettes, and flashing smiles.
She shrugs, the bottle at her lips a choice
that makes her smirk and turn her wandering eyes
to laughing bodies sweating in the heat.
Her limbs feel light, she moves to claim her prize.
She takes a seat, his lap is hot and firm
and soon his hand is on her flushing skin.
They share a beer and kisses, lost to all,
as lips demand a taste of salty sin.

Not Exactly The Summer Vacation He Expected
Anger is in Dad's eyes
after catching both his
wife and daughter in
the river naked and
with their neighbor.

A Lull
I do love a bit of a lull
another chance to then mull
things again over
like these fields of clover
With their keen dappled sheen
a most insistent verdant green
this soft carpet beneath my feet
makes my life once more complete
In a most bucolic way
on this midsummer day
when winter seems so far
as sunlight balms each scar
While I now savor this time
each breath between rhyme
feel my lungs now fill
before I pen my next spill
Safe here in this inner glow
where...

when winter seems so far
as sunlight balms each scar
While I now savor this time

Safe here in this inner glow
