always walked
born with a crooked
hip..or spine
walked sideways
kind of sexy in a way
Like one of those old
reserve dawgs that U
just never were sure of
heading down the road
thru the ditch and into
the woods..said the trees
and birds kept her company
but she was always keeping
the bad company
said she were no sugar
and spice
I was always driving her around
summer with the windows down
Playing my sisters old cassettes
beer runs for the old man

A Fair Maiden

we all compose praises
yes of roses only
why
not as roses are red
but in existence
and
till space's
distance
roses do not die

in library books
they still survive
and
then only these eros roses
bring back
sleepy hidden memories alive
roses in no case die

My river of love is a dried pond,
My land of expectations is a desert of sand,
My feelings were frozen,
And dreams closed in dungeon,
All the bonds never insisted,
Wish I never existed.

SUSTENANCE
 
what pure and generous hearts
I have met on the way.
what kindness and compassion
have struck my soul
to the near ecstasy of being.        
 what tears I have shed for already
missing you.
I wrap myself in the warmth of
your thoughts and the music of your
words that soothe and sustain

Lobby groups dilute
Secular nation statute
Public will refute

Tomorrows poetry today
Hello
How glad we all are
the Internet has given birth
to a poets class
none read poetry
as fast
but as poets
we must last

A million may be
out of 7.5 billion
in the spoils
of a poetic honey moon
today you can say just anything
and
get away also

many love to like
and say
wow lovely waffle
also
not knowing that they ticked
the best of typo

Pushing Into Decline

please, cover my legs
they are stone cold
the urinal needs to be emptied’
I’ve got to go
I need fresh sheets on the recliner
where I sleep and spend the day. .. ..
this is a new existence for me,
a half life at the mercy of those
who are loving and kind.
but sometimes I think I’m losing my mind.
I was in full bloom now falling to the ground/

The Bridge

The bait is ready
Weather finally steady
Wait over heady
