In the longing, louvered light,
Out of context, out of sight, Change your gown, move out of town. Buy yourself another round. No alternatives, last resort. Ghetto superlatives, Life is short. What is this state, where shadows mate? Unlock truth beyond the gate. Upturned noses Dispense love in doses. A lying bed of roses Round castles in the sand. Follow hope like Moses Wandering the land. A pocketful of poses And ashes in your hand. Please, Miss Tyler, don’t be upset. Desk clerk dialing cigarette. Black, white and overcast grey Empty corridor, Judgement Day. Upturned noses Dispense love in doses. Perhaps a swim in the cement pond Will ease your mind and woes begone. Sing a pliant, little song. Find the place where you belong. Maybe wrap yourself in gauze. Take up suffering as your cause. Haunted corridors you will walk Shaking doorknobs that are locked. Upturned noses At the wake, Dispense love in doses. Had all that you can take. Is this Quentin or maybe Rykers? A lonely lady or a tiger? 6/27/24 (Zone- S2E6) After hours
Sweet n’ sour Hangin round Home unbound Lurk and looking Hope keeps cooking Hidden, lonesome Down off 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 Grind and groan In the morn Scourge and scorn Self reproach First class coach All I’m after Vector, Raster. Spirits calling Faster falling 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, Dark in debasement. I know it’s early. Your kisses surly. My mind resplendent Under 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, A soft acquittal, Coughed up with spittle, Flapjacks on griddle. 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 Cunning cannibal Arching animal Lonely Hannibal Quiet conscience Effervescence Lion’s haunches At its’ essence Roomy echo Rumbly rotor Skipping record Scratchy 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 fancy meal Or greasy drive-thru? About me, never. Ties that sever. Big pink pachyderm And image clever. I don’t know nuthin Ain’t nobody fussin Reach out for a hand And find they’re bluffin Two can play this Loving kindness Judas puckered The gentle, soft kiss. Empty gestures Wounds that fester Best intentions Recycle redemption Let’s not be bitter I’m just a pet sitter Scratch the surface Love lies in 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
See saw swinging day to day. Chanting laughter, rhymes and song Eager, open right and wrong. Lovely, sparkly, growing grass Dewey petals flit and sass. Birds in flurry, flighty sky, Wispy clouds and breezes sigh. Paint the walls of future dreams With big blackberries and vanilla ice 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, lessons, wisdom Cleaning up my little kingdom. Tempering my 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. I still listen as I dream And hear 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, hurt 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. Sleek subconscious. Stolid staunches. Rocket launches From its’ haunches Into orbit. Reason forfeit. Mind repair kit. Scenes that won’t quit. From the daylight Offer midnight. Wispy tail kite. Stringy sleep tight. 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 |
