In Passing

If you find me,
Don’t remind me.
Take your baggage.
Move on, kindly.

This room still breaths
After you leave.
Windows crackle.
Walls heave.

Calm restored
Along the boards.
Light falls in.
Darkness dims.

I flail around.
Pull up, Push down
Wrangle inward.
Make no sound.

Enjoy it still.
Calm my will.
World spins wild
The hiding child.

Always wanting,
Then it takes.
With no interest 
In my aches.

One day a shadow
Won’t be here.
Was it ever
Never clear

Blue Jewel

Blue jewel
On the hand of a fool
Catches your smile.
Bright scar for awhile

Beckons to hold you
Squeeze you, enfold you.
But no one else cares
What you got there.

Forlorn mirror gaze
What questions you raise.
What’s that which makes happy?
Think quick. Make it snappy.

My brain is a rattle;
A barn full of cattle;
A lonely foot soldier
Once wounded in battle.

So shake out the jams
Innocent lambs,
Misters and ma’ams
Who don’t give a damn.

Mommy still loves
Her sweet little bubs.
Like hand in a glove
Tight fist of a nub.

Nightie old night
Don’t fuss and don’t fight.
Wish may or it might
Make everything right
​

You break ‘er/ You bought ‘er.
Devil’s daughter.
Heaven's hotter.
Wetter water.

Scene transparent,
Roguish, errant.
Teacher/ Master.
Vector/ Raster.

Southern reject.
Alabaster.
Hapless, hectic,
Dialectic.

Henceforth, metric
Millimeter.
Gracious greeter.
Gentle reader,

Since you left us,
And still request us
To be present,
Effervescent.

When, I wonder,
Since asunder,
Do we matter
Climbing ladders?

A rooms' bee buzzing,
Fidget, fussing,
Hissing, cussing.
Then stop motion with a Slap

Dishonorable Mention

Umbilical dream
A load bearing beam.
A tailor may seem
The most likely craftsman.

A needless distraction
To blanket the cuff.

Since I’ve had enough,
I’ll leave it to those
Who’re able to pose
And keep my tongue still.

A cat on a sill
Can watch and take note,
Without opening her throat
And alter the future.

To zip and to suture
The wounds that can mend
Leaving fewer loose ends
To snip and cut off.

I clear and I cough
To keep my lungs ready
Incase there’s a steady
Pelting of curses,

Shiny coin purses
Of dissonant reason.

Tis always the Season
To Carol pretension,
Intent on ascension
Above those in the choir.

Higher and higher
More lies on the fire.

Magnetic North.
Stay the course.
Going forth.
Field the Force.

Grab the moment.
Squeeze the minute.
Clutch the Omen.
Breathe within it.

Rage the cage.
Take the stage.
Falling star.
Wars to wage.

Digging hooves.
Pushing grooves.
Smash the cart.
Throw the dart

Towards horizon.
In this hour,
Ion eyes
Pulsing power.

Timing zeal.
Cries that squeal.
Headed home,
West of Rome.

Fiddle sticks
Get your kicks
Dirty tricks
Take your licks

I require
A tiny wire
Motive higher
​Amplifier


Now or never
Clutching clever
Pull the lever
Risk endeavor

Work the room
Bride and groom
Sonic boom
Stench perfume

By the door
Sad and sore
Nothing more
No one for


​There goes another
Trouble lover
Apple pickin
Mother brother

Let’s retire
Build a fire
Clean our wounds
Preach to the choir

A curly cadence,
A flagrant fragrance,
A cheap conveyance,
A rumpled radiance,

A half concession,
A clear confession,
An odd obsession,
Unanswered questions.

Horrendous hangups,
Harmonious hookups,
Impenetrable close-ups,
Felonious fuck ups.

In electric light, I’m beaming.
In telepathic night, I’m screaming.
In x-ray sight, I’m dreaming.
In shirted white, I’m gleaming.

The work we leave- unhinged.
The luck I draw- unchanged.
The itch I rake- relieved.
The touch, itself, perceived.

These patterns don’t repeat.
Cars roll backward down the street.
This creaking orbit knits one groove.
One fall after another, just another move.

Material witness
Fiddled his fitness.
Finding a purpose,
Tried to usurp us.

​They come and they go,

Like shadows in snow.
Dance in the daylight.
Tangle in moonlight.

I took what was given:
A penchant for living;
A ladder for loving;
A letter worth earning.

I once gave them every
Thing that was heavy.
Could help us with lifting
Through sandboxes sifting.

This playground alone.
Past supper I roam,
Downtown from my home,
To hear streetlights buzzing.

Fog arms bent on rusting.
My conscience is crushing.
Indifference disgusting.
A neighborhood hushing.

I’ll be a good boy.
Return all your toys.
Lay low in my sleep.
This soul I will keep.

Tiger’s eye.
Don’t know why.
Look for answers,
Signs of Cancer.

Found some growing.
Your slip is showing.

Bang a drum.
See who runs
To your tantrum.
A floating phantom

Hovers near.
Let’s be clear.

Attention antics,
Prickly tactics
(Tiny, tactile,
Pointy, fractal)

Brought you here,
Aloft with purpose.

What makes me nervous
Is when to leave.
Yellow maples
Know their timing.

Falling shadows
Pantomiming.

Bending branches,
Broken rhyming:
Escalators 
Social climbing

Reason Being.
Sights for Seeing.
The view imbibed.
A toast transcribed
With wisdom.

Some small comfort.
A truth worth telling.
A plan for selling
What some might question.
Give apprehension.

So what’s the point?
Some oils anoint
And some for cooking.
Inward looking.
Outward blessing.

All wounds need dressing.
So too this salad,
A benediction ballad
From gracious host.
It’s more than most would care.

But it’s sunny,
So let’s share.
Pain is funny
It doesn’t spare
The innocent.


"Peace Be With You
And For Me Too".

I shout to the skies.
Then all the wonder
And all the whys

Roar like thunder
Their replies.

Last Call

Upsy daisy.
Feeling lazy
Loose and loopy. Eyelids droopy
Tongue is sagging. Ass is dragging

Still a moment.
Crunchy minute.
Need to own it.
Task infinite.

I like my rambling,
Fragment gambling.
Amounts to nothing,
Although I’m bluffing.

Each page a step,
A stumbled rep.
An exercise foreboding.
Precious cargo unloading.

Doesn’t need to carry weight.
Needn’t feel that it’s too late
To ring the bell at the door
And be welcomed to the floor.

This last-call harlequin,
Through the exit going in.
For perhaps a moment’s chance
That my words may have a dance.

Just a moment.
Just a minute.
I’d like to be dropped
Down well
Within it
​

Horizon

In the distance,
A single instance.
In the fore,
Many more.

Merge the questions.
Achey lessons,
Comprehensions.
Not to mention

Tight frustrations,
Complex Equations,
Disappointments,
Greasy anointments.

So much gravel
In my shoe.
Going forward.
Pushing through.

Grinding steps.
Mortar, pestle.
Tears have wept.
Thoughts have wrestled.

Down the road,
As I go,
Blankets fold
All I know.

Powdery toes,
Sandy heal,
Wanton woes,
All I feel.
