Redundant Astrographical Abundant Eye is winning Secret’s spinning Branching olives Staunch and stolid Pistons firing Valves perspiring Up and down Smile or frown Fleeting forward Flimsy torpor Determined aura Distressed remora The Way unclear To bend God’s ear Fogged in with fear Revelation near Pushing onward Through the gas Heavy boots In milky glass No hand will take me No dream will wake me The clock forsakes me Yet nothing breaks me Still A moment’s unexpected tear Reminds me spirits call And I can hear 4/6/21 Through curtains of danger,
The elegant stranger Gusts into the room A king in a manger. Unfurling his wisdom To flocks that would listen. Though houses seemed haunted, This traveler undaunted. Once thriving and yearning, The seasons kept turning. Turning and flipping, The tables kept tipping. The ache in the laughter, A quake of disaster. Like servant to master, Faster and faster. Take it and keep it. Render and reap it. Follow in footsteps, Falling for backflips. What’s left at the altar Convictions won’t falter. The plot and the land A castle in sand. The echo of dreams Sewn together it seems Foundation to beams By benevolent schemes. The wind that blows through Won’t rustle the view. Just shimmers the old And brings in the new. 12/16/20 At a glance
Circumstance & Half a chance Smartypants. Dine and dash, Sill and sash, Wad of cash Balderdash. Alley oop On the stoop Chicken coop Bettie Boop. Rotten Robbie, Just a hobby In the lobby, Kemosabe. Punch and Judy, Rutti tutti Little cutie Bounce big booty. Do the dishes: Fountain wishes. Sleeps with fishes, Aloysius. Ten to midnight, Feeling alright. Fight the good fight. Kiss the twilight. Do it all night Reconstruct the broken aura.
Yellow, golden fawn and flora. Tickled furry ear that flutters. Silent nightshade turns to butter. Electric channels at the call. Waxy, wondrous wailing wall. Climbing high, so tense they fall. What brought me here, I can’t recall. Hiccup dancing here we go. Beatbox prancing to and fro. Peeling anger leaf by layer. About this town like he’s the mayor. Once caught glitter in my hand. Not be bitter. Turned to sand. Cast off turning time that bands Fleeting runs and also rans. Excite the choir’s alibi. Swaying gowns and tenors cry. Conductor dancing in the grass. Waves baton out over mass. Crouching down beneath the coats. Billy clubs and billy goats Chant along in reverie. Smoke so thick, I cannot see. One day, while calmly looking back. I'll find a crevice in a crack. Heave a tired gravelled sigh. Remember clouds that heckled by. If I can,
I should. Break my bones And brag To any nosey rag Sparking at the drag. Receipt into the bag, A crumpled ticker tape parade. Society’s cast out, cast off brigade. Iron will circling the drain. Virtuous overtures fawn and feign A stolid mind. Twisting what’s left behind To sentimentality unwind. Brawny, brackish, boiled brine. If only lost, not yet to find The ache you feel for the first time. Because you don’t, I know it’s mine. Another clever smug endeavor Shut out with the rain. Stretched taught in merchant cellophane, Leftover transparent purpose. Clapping, cloying, clicking circus. The wire’s high And feet are nervous. They came to watch me exhale. Indifferent if I should fail. The lights go up, the hush falls down This coupon coated little town. Remembered shadows upside down 7/17/21 Tame the cradle
Gravy ladle Cain and Abel Fractured fable Whine and cackle Hind and hackles Leave your faculties resolved. If quiet rumor’s hush Brings pale cheeks to blush From troubled fountains' gush. Fallow then creeps to lush. Drop a penny at the source. Troubles many without recourse, But in gesture hope springs forth. What once was South may now be North. Warmth and wonder, solid view. Dreaming now of You know Who. Careful not to misconstrue A stagnant feeling once it grew. Sycophantic lovers leap. What they had, they couldn’t keep. Now they’re lying in a heap On predecessor’s pile they sleep. I’ll take what's mine instead, A quiet heart and single bed. No abandonment to dread. Once was hungry, now is fed. 4/27/21 Incense, Myrrh.
You filthy cur. You sullen sow. I know how You squashed your seeds, With begs and pleads. Just dirty deeds In the weeds. I’m no better. A gone go getter. An unsigned letter To the Pope. Piss up a rope. Burn down the barn. No cause for alarm, Tonight or ever. These ties that sever, Our last endeavor As caring mates. Though bearing straits Cannot channel Your tattered flannel Pretension, A vivid section, sliced In coolers put on ice To carry your organic sacrifice: Eyes, heart, kidney, lung. Let’s face it you’re really not so young. At least you’re still among the needy. And since I’m now not feeling greedy, Please accept my donation. A veritable veneration. A cingular sensation. A colloquial consecration. This card for all occasions. Best Wishes xo 10/10/21 Green sequin glimmer
Spiral flashing inner Aura. I dance with Dora And shake my shoulders. Manilla folders, Files unfurling Message hurling. What are we saying When prairie hands laying Over bitter truth And gin vermouth? A toasty talent And awkward balance, But finely pointed With oils anointed. A solemn screaming, Ribbon streaming, Party platter. Does it matter While we’re dreaming? I love your look. It’s like a book of verses, Prayers and curses. While you shake the hall, Those hallowed walls Can’t help but drink you. I’d never think to. Just in awe While jangling My jaw 10/14/21 Mind at ease.
Clear as day. Open door. Eight O-Four. Branches thin. Light crawls in, Gently swarming Enfolding morning. Milky mind In the cup. Sloshy, creamy Simply dreamy. Spiller spills. Holds still At the threshold, Crossing over. Stepping in Oxalis, clover, Finch and wren, Robin, rover. Mind as matter. Clean as welcome. Wander quiet Waking whys. Ever open Warming eyes. 2/18/22 Bulbous, bloated
