Squelch

Twisted into
Psychic will to
Make it work.
Give it a jerk.

Pull it taught,
Like time forgot.
You know you need it.
Cut and bleed it

Along the ground.
Instinct unbound.
Obscured by surface
Chatter cursives.

All the while,
That vantage smile
Pulls toward horizon.
Scenic sizing

Works within you.
Read the menu.
Order up.
Hold forth the cup.

Pray for refill.
Bar and grill.
Long cool counter.
Thought you found her.

Empty promise.
Find your solace
Open ended,
Broken, mended.

Field of wishes.
Broken dishes
Still need washing.
No hope’s worth squashing.

Second Thoughts

Aquanet
Alphabet
Hired hand
Also ran

Firefly
Questions why
Understood
Just as good

Why oh where?
What’s with your hair?
Falling down
Sculptural frown

Take a look
Fish on a hook
Sharpened talon
Edgar Allen

Darkened light
Bed bug bite
Catchers can
Maryanne

Violet eye
Couldn’t cry
Tooth and nail
Tattered veil

Scenic flight
Wave good night
Sing and praise
Awake for days
​

Honor bright
Wish I might
Falling down
Wedding gown

Take the first train
Out of town

Snack

Orange, apple
Make it Snapple.
Dance the danger
Bent with strangers.

Burn the object.
Hang the reject.
Focus woke us.
Acts bespoke us.

Carnal cancer
Sassy dancer
Tense tornado
Luck, no bueno

Earn
The estimate.
Let go
The rest of it.

White paper
Black word
Risky caper
Thoughts absurd

Spring forward.
Fall back.
After dinner,
Entertain a snack.

Sanguine Treasure

8/25/2024

Sanguine treasure,
Metric measure,
Life of leisure.
What’s your pleasure?

Defiant darling
Candle carving
Carpet curling
Insults hurling

Honorary
Flimsy fairy
Denouncing dairy
Whipped cream cherry

Final focus
Fractal locus
Bang awoke us
Smoky choke us

On the dashboard,
Metal blazing,
Gleaming cash poor,
Eyebrow raising.

I should know this
So they say
Elevator Otis
Take me away

Scratch my eyelids
Far off dreamer
Testing lipids
Coffee creamer

Cara Nonna Ofelia

Buon Compleanno
Sei il mio Angelo
Ti voglio sempre bene
Penso quando siamo insieme

Penso quando il tempo viene

La bella facia
Con gli occhi piano
E la voce magra
Le mane tirano l’aga

Grazie sempre Dio, che mi ha dato
Che bella vita adesso siamo fatto
Aspettiamo un giorno sulla via nostra
Per oggi dobbiamo soddisfata con l’inchiostro

Ti aspetto
Ti aspetto
I wait for You
I wait for You

Thank You
Combare Ofelia

XO

Heart a shambles,
Twigs and brambles.
Open eyes
Synthesized.

Morning sickness,
Sharpened slickness.
Blades awake,
A tummy ache.

Shake and bake
In crusty manner.
Hold high the banner,
Then put me up.

A winner’s cup
To go the distance.
Overcome resistance
Of cares laid bare,

And ankles broken.
We have unspoken
Into cameras
Sans slur or stammer,

Yet changed the angle
And thus untangled,
But still account
Towards paramount

Perception.

​A smile

In your direction
When they catch you looking
While they’re still cooking

Up a plan.
They spot a fan
And you feel lucky.
Even somewhat plucky

Peak

8/19/2024

Within the call of echoes past,
Clung the promise, green as grass.
I would find my way and seek.
Carve a path up to my peak.

Journey made of darkened roads,
Chosen for their dappled modes.
Soon the shade took in the light.
Midday seemed like guiding night.

All alone, I took the curves
With stalwart hope and brassy nerves.
Once were those that rode astride.
Our singing birds eventually died.

The common bond was water based,
Washed away like finger paste.
I’m thankful for the laughs and cheers.
But in review, those wasted years

Kept me stagnant and insecure,
For want of better polymer.
Yet, here I am back on the trail,
Weathered, worn and somewhat pale.

Above the tree line, I feel the breeze.
Amongst the boulders, my thoughts are these.
The way ahead’s no guarantee.
The pack I carry agrees with me.

The promised hope jostles inside,
I’ll carry upward and abide.
Forever reaching toward the sun,
Though inner peaks I've already won

The Antidote

8/17/2024

Your loving gaze
In so many ways.
Let me count
That loving amount.

Things are divine. 
When tempered with wine.

Constantly loving
Out of our minds.

No waste, no haste
No subtle, damning taste.
No shot that fears chase.
A calling card of given grace.

In all ways the same.
In place to play this game
A potion from the Master.

That portents our disaster.

No matter what you're after,
Emotions run sublime.
They're running even faster
When running out of time.

It now takes two to toast
To those you love the most.
Standing in long lines.
Stepping over mines.

For we who then might shine,
Packaged and finely polished.
When we get all that we want,
We want it all abolished.

A guaranteed promise
To solve all our problems.
Love’s a pink cherub
And a greedy, green goblin.

Knee high
To a spider’s eye.
A rippling cry.
To where and why.

The day is early.
The wind is whirling.
My sheets unfurling
On the line.

The breezes pine.
The creases shine,
Serene, so neatly
Through my mind.

As flickers fine,
I sit discretely,
Snapping time.
Day’s on the vine.

Refresh the feeling.
Reach for the ceiling.
The days' revealing,
As sun rays climb.

In larger scheme,
Pull at the seam,
I pray this moment
Not be a dream.

But be it so,
Not letting go
This passing moment.
No need to know.

The Rake

8/13/2024

0 Comments

 
Damned hyena
Stalks the floorboards.
Mumbled menace,
Closets, cupboards.

Giddy swagger,
Grizzled charm.
Cloak and dagger,
Four alarm.

What’s his want?
Who’s he after?
Calls and taunts
Within the plaster.

Undercover,
I perspire.
Shifting, shriek
The willing wire.

Slobber trails
Lurk the hall.
Slop and slather.
Wounded gather

Wringing, working,
Scratching, lurking
Rounds the corner,
Eye to eye.

Asks to answer
In reply.
Mangle closer,
Terrify.

Gagging breath,
Garbled lungs.
Stench of death,
Hanging tongue.

Rot endeavor.
What’s your pleasure?
Now or never.
Pull the lever.


Often wake
From such disturbance.
Shiver, shake
The Rake occurrence

They cut the heart out.
And hauled it away.
Iron cast nerves
In 
sheet metal grey.

Lag bolts and valves,
Flanges and fans,
Motors now quiet,
Once spun and ran.


Out in day light
Pale green tower.
This house held its' breath
For a chilly grey hour.

Forty full years
Of cigarette fumes,
Sorrowful echoes,
Neapolitan tunes.

Housework and homework.
Rattled its’ core.
Family folk rhythms
Beat buoyant no more.

Capillaries, arteries
Coiled the frame
Gasping and hissing,
Whispering our names.

Inhaling the sighs
Of dusted, swept rooms.
Does it now matter?
For what and to whom?

On sidewalk stretched out,
Torn from its’ pedestal.
Naked and feeble
For neighbors to ogle.

I remember the former,
A hulking ore octopus.
Now it’s successor,
A soldier, much lesser.

When baby arrived,
Cradled into its' cavity,
It cooed once again,
Pushing heat against gravity.

But the echo and tone,
Of a one handed clap,
Proclaimed my warmed heart
Was now left for scrap.

Hello Stranger

8/9/2024

Hello stranger,
Rearranger,
Looking through me
Without danger.

Aisle twenty,
Thieving plenty.
Candy envy.
Every penny.

Awkward teller,
Happy feller.
Broken toys lie
In the cellar.

Exaltation.
Consecration.
Recreation
Reprobation.

Creeper crawler.
Walking taller.
Square dance caller.

Caterwauler.

Orphaned widow.
Cheer up, kiddo.
Dry your pillow.
Bend like willow.

Here we are now
In the row.
Crusty, muddy.
Told you so.

Fall Back

8/7/2024

Lost on the floor.
Swimming door to door.
Ever after,
Even more.

Mockery,
Crafty crockery.
Trickery,

Quick terpsichore.

Running wild at the welcome.
Thieving vials vandal valium.
A modest little hellion,

Orphaned rabble rapscallion.

Outcast at the callback.
Needing nightfall’s tall black.
Wondering why we’re weakened.
Blinded by our beacon.

Incase you missed scene two,
Blubbering won’t get you through.
Achey limb, lone language,
Tall bindles bundled baggage.

So make yourself a sandwich
And wait for the roof to come down.
Now the mirror wears your frown.
Making u-turns around the town.

Leave a message,
H
e’s not here.
Who leads the horse
When you disappear?


Cloying, grasping for the reigns.
Epic dramas, our disdains
Don’t hold much water.
Come down off that alter

And keep to your groove.
It’s baby’s little move.
Case the joint and pick the lock.
Don’t forget to set your clock.
