Hot Date

A lovely dinner out with her during the evening tide
when he notices her shoulder strap riding near the sky
a slim roadway wandering near the glowing edge
not guaranteed to straddle there could fall a bit instead
now perhaps she brushed it off...

Homeless Song

Fire flies in branches
a storm growls down the road
darkness covers fences
everyone is home.

Humidity can cauterize
the oxygen we breathe
slowing our defenses
starting strange disease.

Living with some plywood
no addresses here
If...

Down By The Water

I walked along the river
near the factory
closed defaced
and failing

Bassett is history.

Old two bedroom places
falling in the stream
behind all the houses
homes to Jimmy Beam.

Overseas is cheaper than
empty, coming down
funereal...

Journey of the Unrepentant

Journey of the unrepentant
struggle of the lost
discovering
it wasn't them

it was their robot parts.

Here's a unit little one
made with shiny steel
Ah she says I see my hands
flecked with silly art
and my legs are sliding shells
sand...

Welder With Pearls

I fell for a girl
a welder with pearls
worked on subs down in Norfolk
when someone suggested she get vaccinated
she suggested that they hesitate
sweetly as candy but tough and so handy
can fix an old roof in a heartbeat
full of sweet...

Crying

Eyes surprised by wetness
salty stuff awhile
thought the pool had dried up
when he was a child
or dammed up behind hardness
those man muscles for sure
useful certain moments
but then just move around
like a strange infection
traveling...

I Cannot Fly Today

I cannot fly today
Yet perhaps last night
We flew between the stars
Who can tell?
Tomorrow will no doubt
Be like today
But not always
Not everlastingly so.
I sew the scenes
Of our escape
While sitting here tonight
Sleepily concealed
In...

Baby

Every curve about you
Reminds me of a swing
Your legs spread out upon the sky
More wings than anything.

Fun is not a baby born
Too early to survive.
Back and forth the cradle goes
My back, your arms, our eyes.

Let me love you mother...

Independence Day

Groans upon the darkest night
streaking lights up there
rooftop jets defending turf
neighbors pull their hair.

Four pm the siren sounds
two hours to get home
midnight now
nobody sleeps
explosions the new dawn

here's a mountain...
