Ravenous
I don’t know this man – never met Ray, yet…
He knows me; I know him
I don’t have a wife – her name is Babette

Corny Thievery and Wit
To spend my ink on my ilk
Proves to be quite a daunting task
To not error in my speech
The Chase
I saw a girl, I met her gaze
And her eyes smiled, dazzle, daze, haze
I want her child -- was shut my case
For Margaret
Today my heart ached
However, no, I did not cry
I was pleased to know
The Corn and the Thief
Happy birthday to the unborn
I have blue shoes, new, never worn
The anniversary of disbelief
Two Dreams
The dreams are swift, she leaps, lands, throws her skirt
In bed adrift, unconsciously alert
I shut my eyes, I don’t cease to live
The Visage
I saw a face, you see
This face I saw today
It dwelt in yesterday
Silence of the Books
And still, cameras or no cameras,
even libraries close.
As the P.A. system announces fifteen minutes to closing,
Masquerade
Faceless Flaws
That line in place
Nowhere to escape
Close your Eyes
You close your eyes, look at the ground
Where the clowns sprinkled the clouds with glitter
Your ears are keen, head on her mound
Drunk, Sinking
I once drank wine so sweet
My heart sighed, filled, replete
Happily the town drunk
June in September
It happened one time
One Friday in June
The night was the day
The last chance, we rigged
America the beautiful,
at night &
in the hi-def tv. set
Epoch
Allow me to breathe your last breath
as a still born
unknowing you
REMEMBERANCE
With your name called
I could touch the sky,
Remember days
MOMENTUM
Let's talk from where you are
In silence and at once.
Don't be afraid of distance
At dawn, again
Bayonets smothered by dew
Sighs coagulated by vagrant veins
hope for the sunshine, unseen
Explosive Kisses
The Kiss of Life
To kiss as in those days
holding in an embrace;
The Lone Warrior
There I was, sitting in a corner of the cold dusty room
The dusk falling, the angry clouds gathering
Casting shadows across the sky;
At dawn
I’m late at dawn
Among the rotten dew
Near the slaughtered love, in sight
