The Speed of Darkness
How quickly
the mistress descends
Her stairway needs no trumpet call
devouring horizons with a stare
as ocean and mountain
surrender to her spell
and night eyed creatures stir
to worship the blood of shadows
at the altar of curtain's fall
Her silence
wears thunder like a crown
swallowing clouds until dawn
while fools lost on the moors
cling to the moonlight
and drown

The Ballad of Daisy-doo
Butterfingers
with Daisy-doo thumbs
couldn't catch a thing
when she was young
A few things changed
when Daisy grew
some bad boys taught her
all she knew
They took her swimming
down by the creek
when she dried off
she couldn't walk for a week
She put on weight
like a great balloon
and the Doc said
triplets coming soon
She wouldn't name pa
as Josh or Jim
and Jack was away
so it wasn't him
She learned that love's
a slippery wish
and when you're up the creek
you better catch a...

Dear Great One
I can only imagine how busy you must be.
The eternal administration and maintenance in heaven
can't leave much time for the golf course
or the finer pleasures that an omnipotent being might enjoy.
I do apologize for my direct approach but I can't find a suggestion box
and the churches where I live have mostly had to close.
As I got older I've witnessed the crazy world you made
spinning rapidly out of control and for some time now
I've been kicking this question down the road.
When you made us humans in your own image
why did you make us age...

Orbiting Hell
Aging bones have let me know
that pain is forever.
Circles and cycles.
Lots of spinning.
Different situations, same feelings.

Starry Eyed
Born innocent
with demons between our ears
We learn to choose
and suffer consequences
but the demons do not care
Our welfare is never their concern
for they will draw us into darkness
and when there is no moon
it's a good time to look up at
Uranus
with demons between our ears
We learn to choose
and suffer consequences
but the demons do not care
Our welfare is never their concern
for they will draw us into darkness
and when there is no moon
it's a good time to look up at

Teasing Stars
Perhaps it's an omen
some token of what's to be
Skies bleeding fire
while thunder crawls from the hills
The books warned us
about the triumph of evil
her cruelest ravaging winds
the scream that shatters crystal
to the choke of time's tears
But I don't believe all that I read
I press my heart to the window
watching fireworks
almost fooling the rain
and wonder what God
really sees
some token of what's to be
Skies bleeding fire
while thunder crawls from the hills
The books warned us
about the triumph of evil
her cruelest ravaging winds
the scream that shatters crystal
to the choke of time's tears
But I don't believe all that I read
I press my heart to the window
watching fireworks
almost fooling the rain
and wonder what God
really sees

The Biggest Change
The conversation
never stops
How bad the weather's got
the way that summer's not
a little boy's freedom to roam
I still miss Grandma's chocolate waffles
the sweetest toffee apples
skipping happy all the way home
Grandpa drove a pony and trap
shot rabbits in the field out back
At school girls couldn't wear pants
and on Sunday's God said
you couldn't play gin lest the Devil walked in
to dirty your hands
We shared the phone line with a neighbor
the only jam came in a jar
Dad's car the only traffic on...

Tearing a Dying Heart
And you behave
as if this world were yours
to cradle in your palm
snapping rosebuds
with a snigger
oblivious to harm
The cups
of your own slow poison
wait trembling in your hand
How many species
lost and buried
or must you drink too
before you
understand
Flood and flame
flame and flood
Are you deaf
dumb and blind
while your legacy awaits
its final chalice
to seal Earth's fate
in a rush of greed laced blood
as if this world were yours
to cradle in your palm
snapping rosebuds
with a snigger
oblivious to harm
The cups
of your own slow poison
wait trembling in your hand
How many species
lost and buried
or must you drink too
before you
understand
Flood and flame
flame and flood
Are you deaf
dumb and blind
while your legacy awaits
its final chalice
to seal Earth's fate
in a rush of greed laced blood

You may never stop grieving
for the love of your life
but a little cry
can make you feel better
for the love of your life
but a little cry
can make you feel better

Up to Their Necks
On the isles of Kiribati
there's no place left to party
for they know full well the ocean swell
wont keep them hale or hearty
It isn't any fun
when your real estate has gone
getting swept away while dolphins play
until nowhere's safe to run
We may ignore our link
as we wont be first to sink
It's all too far away to worry
no need for us to hurry
but on the isles of Kiribati
that isn't what they think
there's no place left to party
for they know full well the ocean swell
wont keep them hale or hearty
It isn't any fun
when your real estate has gone

until nowhere's safe to run
We may ignore our link
as we wont be first to sink
It's all too far away to worry
no need for us to hurry
but on the isles of Kiribati
that isn't what they think

Off She Goes.
He yelled.
Her soul left her body and was swimming
in cool water, possibly a lake. Who knows.
He stopped yelling.
Her soul came back, relaxed.
He asked if she had heard a word he said.
She answered with a "huh?"
Again he yelled...
