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. 12/12/20

Make it Snapple. Dance the danger With bent 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. 3/15/21 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.

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 Into crusty manner. Hold high the banner, Then put me up. The winner’s cup To go the distance. Overcome resistance Of cares laid bare, Ankles broken. Those that have spoken Into the camera, Without slur or stammer, Can change the angle And thus untangle, But still count Towards paramount Perception. A smile In your direction When they catch you looking. Yet still, they’re cooking Up a plan. Though, they can spot a fan And you feel lucky. Even somewhat plucky 11/21/20 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. Mid day seemed like guiding night. All alone, I took the curves With stalwart hope and brassy nerves. Once were those that rode astride. Their open interest eventually died. Our common bond was water based, Washed away like brittle paste. I’m thankful for the laughs and cheers. But in review, those wasted years Kept me stagnant and insecure, Without a 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 jostling inside, I’ll carry upward and abide. Forever reaching toward the sun, Though inner peaks I've already won 2/17/21 Your loving gaze
In so many ways. Let me count That loving amount. Things are divine. Tempered with time. Constantly loving Our ever loving minds. No waste to erase No impulsive, damning haste. 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 promises disaster. No matter what you're after, Emotions run sublime. Love smoke's grey wafting. Long distance costing. Takes two to toast. To those you love the most. Standing in long line. Taking their sweet time. For all here who might shine, Packaged and polished, When what we really want, To have our wants abolished. A guaranteed promise To solve all our problems. Love’s a pink cherub And a greedy, green goblin. 2/28/23 Zone S1E31 Knee high
To a spider’s eye. A rippling cry. To where and why. The day is early. The wind is whirling. Sheets unfurling On the line. The breezes pine. The creek sparkles, sweetly Serene, so neatly Through my mind, Flickers fine As I sit discretely, Snapping time. Day’s on the vine. Refresh the feeling. Push up the ceiling. All ways appealing, Sun rays refine. In larger scheme, How it may seem, I hope this moment Not be a dream. But be it so, I won’t let go This fleeting moment In amber glow. 9/16/21 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 4/3/89 They cut the heart out.
Hauled it away. Iron cast nerves Of sheet metal grey. Lag bolts and valves Flanges and fans, Motors erased now, Once spun and ran. Out in day light Pale green tower. This house held its' breath For a chilly blue hour. Forty full years Of cigarette fumes, Sorrowful echoes, Neapolitan tunes. Housework and homework. Rattled its’ core. Family folk rhythms Beat solemn no more. Capillaries, arteries Coiled the frame Gasping and hissing, Whispering warm names. Inhaling the sighs Of dusted, swept rooms. Does it now matter? For what and to whom? On sidewalk stretched out, Pulled away from its’ pedestal. Naked and feeble For neighbors to ogle. I remember its’ father, A hulking ore octopus. Now it’s successor, A soldier, much lesser. When baby arrived, Cradled into the cavity, It warmed once again Pushing heat against gravity. But the echo and tone, of a one handed clap, proclaimed my warm heart Was now left for scrap. 3/8/21 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. 4/4/21 Lost on the floor.
Swimming door to door. Ever after, Even more. Mockery, Crafty crockery. Trickery, Quick terpsichore. Wild at the welcome. Thieving vandal valium. Modest little hellion, Orphaned 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 bundles of checked baggage. So make yourself a sandwich And wait for the roof to come down. Now the mirror wears your frown. Making u-turns through the town. Leave a message, He’s not here. Who leads the horse When they disappear? Cloying, grasping for the reigns Epic drama, 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 the clock. 3/28/22 |
