In the longing, louvered light,
Out of context, out of sight, Change your gown, move out of town. Buy yourself another round. Ghetto superlatives, this last resort. No alternatives, life's too short. What is this state, where shadows mate? Bending light beyond the gate. Upturned noses Dispensing love in doses. Here lies your bed of roses, Round castles in the sand. Follow hope like Moses Wandering the land. A pocketful of poses And ashes in your hand. Now please don’t be upset. Desk clerk dialing cigarette. Black and whites that echo grey Empty corridors, Judgement Day. Upturned noses Dispensing love in doses. Here lies your bed of roses, Round castles in the sand. Perhaps a swim in the cement pond Will ease your mind, then woes begone. Sing a searching, little song. Find the place where you belong. Maybe wrap yourself in gauze. Take up suffering as your cause. Glaring corridors you can walk Shaking doorknobs that are locked. Upturned noses Dispensing love in doses. At your wake, the roses For every piece of cake. Down in Bellevue Or maybe Rykers, A haunted lady Walks a hungry tiger. 6/27/24 (Zone- S2E6) From “In the ZONE”- Twilight Zone episode response series After hours
Sweet n’ sour Hangin round Home unbound Lurk and looking Hope keeps cooking Hidden, lonesome Down on Folsom When, I wonder Longing hunger In the shadows Mine don’t matter Towards the door Heart is sore No one for To come undone Dizzy stumble High to humble Home alone Grouse and groan In the morn Scourge and scorn Self reproach First class coach All I’m after Vector, Raster. Falling faster Faster falling Spirits calling 9/3/21 Honey BooBoo
Jumbled JuJu Childish pageant Pointless voodoo Was it ever? A floating feather. A flying circus. How’s the weather? To my amazement, The truth was latent. The house sat vacant, In dark debasement. I know it’s early. My mind is whirly. Thoughts resplendent Neath hair once curly. No small wonder, To bleach this blunder Can’t kill the smell. To me befell. What’s to do now? A paperdoll powow? No way, no how. I'd like to buy a vow. Little by little, This soft acquittal Cannot absolve The mindless riddle 8/28/21 Nit pick
Dirty trick Nail to hammer Dog to tick Tick, tick Burns the wick. Time is melting. Bruises welting. Shift perspective. A course elective, Far removed From in the groove. The needle skipping. The circuit tripping From step’s ungrounded, Claims unfounded. Righteous rabble, Blogging babble To be heard With empty words. The herd, unguided, Wanders excited. An aimless angle. Emotions tangle. I, for one, Am now undone. Steer my path From apes of wrath. 8/27/21 Existential
Experimental Elemental Consequential Education Magistration Consecration New equation Find infallible Lonely cannibal Arching animal Cunning Hannibal Quiet conscience Effervescence Lion’s haunches At its’ essence Roomy echo Rumbly rotor Skipping record Faded photo Lazy night Longing light Resting westward Day in sight Still I wonder Why I bother Scratching canvas Like my father. 8/27/21 To remind myself
I’m a dancing elf. A scribbled, crumpled Note to self. What can I get you? What's it amount to? A sumptuous meal Or greasy quick drive-thru? About me? Never. Ties that might sever. Pink prancing pachyderm Light as a feather. I don’t know nuthin. Ain’t nobody fussin. Reach for a hand up To find that they’re bluffin. Two can still play this Benevolent kindness. Judas once puckered A gentle, goodbye kiss. Empty, nice gestures. Wounds that will fester. Our best good intentions Recycle redemption. Trying not be bitter. I’m just a pet sitter Scratching the surface. Scooping the litter 8/22/21 Timing blunder
Fancy dinner Cast asunder Burnt to cinder Wettest Winter Thorny splinter Punchy handshake Prickly headache Daylight leaning Sunset beaming Quiet longing Riot wronging Achy echo Shaky tempo Reel and spinning Return, beginning Flapping, climbing Perfect timing Under over Snowy Plover Tidal cleansing Footprints ending Foamy tonic Sea bucolic Slowly walking Widely waking Nature talking Moment taking 8/10/21 Happy children at their play
Sidewalk chalking day to day. Chanting, laughter, rhymes and song Eager, open right and wrong. Lovely, sparkly, growing grass Dewey petals flit and sass. Wispy clouds and breezes sigh. Birds in flurry, flighty sky Paint the walls of future dreams With big blackberries and vanilla cream. Later on through murky past, I’ll pull the line, coil and cast With heavy, wondrous calming joy That wrapped around a little boy, Stepping over times so tough Lonely, empty, had enough. The gentle voice that loved me best, To whom I was a constant pest. Admonition, worldly wisdom Cleaning up my little kingdom. Tempering unbridled dreams, With her soft, load bearing beams. I grasp the apron in my hand. It slips away like shifting sand. Gentle comfort, calming voice Wouldn’t leave me was her choice. Holding hands as I dream And feel the seamstress join the seam. 8/9/21 Sister Abbott’s
Nasty habit Keeps her wondering What's becoming. Dancing wildly, Cards beguiling, Throbbing aura. Sodom, Gomorrah Haunches sparking. Ankles quaking. Mongrels barking. Titillating. I, myself, caught in the wings. Prickly memories, hurts and stings. Wondering how to let you go. Fielding fancies, friends and foe Nuisance, nothing, Never, not. Moment reckoned, Spell forgot. In the chapel Or the womb, Picking apples For the tomb. Watch it clearly Letting go. No one noticed, But you still know. 8/8/21 Deep Inside
Rolls like the tide, It's rocking cradles my trembling stride, Your son’s love has never died. To follow the Star To know where you are Never so far Out in the Valle D’Ar. Daddy, Nonna Ti voglio sempre bene Ti sento la mancanza Come la stalla senza rene. Sul quore come miele San Pietro e San Michele La festa di Celano Il Monomento e Avezzano La terra sempre noi Il casale come vuoi La croce a pizze D'Ovinero E Zi Ada sempre vicino. Nonna, Daddy I love you so. The coffee's ready, We'll take it to go. Always as one. Some nights do come undone To find the way. Holding hands by light of day. Off toward the craggy hills. Your eyes are shining still. Though it’s been quite a while, I'm ever warmed by your quiet smiles. Wherever we go, I hold you so dear. Comforting, calming to know you’re near. Shoulder to shoulder, Ear to big ears. The numbers you dial, They ring in my heart. Reminds me that never, Nor ever we’ll part. xo 9/9/22 Dream ascension
Wake extension Child, Madonna Flora, fauna Spell now broken. Opal opened. Glitter scattered. Once, it mattered. Lovely castle, Cleaning hassle. Ship that sails, Prince of whales. Seafaring tales Deep subconscious. Rocket launches From its’ haunches Into orbit. Reason forfeit. Mind repair kit. Days that won’t quit. From the daylight Offer midnight. Wispy tail kite. Tangled insight. Find the treasure. Go the distance. In your leisure There is no measure. 7/22/21 Well I
Won’t, I Dark I Brown I Evil I I and I Third I That’s why Deep sigh Aim high Crow fly Mark my Words, I Deny Ay ay ay Jai alai Go by With my Ally Oh hi Say why By and by Rabbi Cat’s I Free fly Ought I Don’t cry My my Cry, cry Fee fi Nice guy Don’t lie Until I Wonder why 7/14/21 |
