"I Saw It Fall From The Sky"
the sun
lay on the
ground
defeated
a child scorched
his fingers
trying to pick
it up
his mother said
"don't pick that up
leave it alone
we don't know where
that has been"
the little boy whimpered
and sucked his burning fingertips
"mama, i saw it
fall from the sky"
"take your fingers out of your mouth
that's nasty"
"but mama, I did, I did see it fall from the sky"

"He Leans"
she aches
she yearns

the hemisphere.
all men run away
except for one.
he leans across
the ocean...
and listens.

a beautiful muscular dream
sat down beside her
"who are you?"
"I am your---was."

in the assurance of his lap.
she awakened
to a roach
crawling down her leg

The Balancing Act
she's so critical
measuring the measure
of every word
riding defenseless
on the fences.
for to straddle
means to decide
not to decide.
too much energy.
how much more
to balance.

"No Flow"
there is no flow
just a tumultuous rush
whispers are gone
raucous sirens are one
static and staccato
grinds silk and satin
the jaws of circumstance
overtakes yes and no perchance
there is no flow
there is no flow
there is no flow

"She Deludes Herself"
YES what could I have been thinking
my artistry is replaceable and erasable
retreatable and deletable
another's pencil
another's words
another's poems
can easily bed down
beside you
but the next poet
will not
be able to steal my
memories

» Earthworms Scratching On The Screens «

Earthworms
the little boy
scurried down the hall and
limped into
his mama's bedroom
one of her three eyes blinked
"what now?" rasped
her swollen vocal cords
"the earth worms are back"
the boy fearfully whispered
"and they are knocking on my bedroom windowpane
scratching on the screens and roaring my name"
"is your window down?"
"yes mummy, but tonight
the earth worms have thumbs"
"nonsense" the mother wheezed
"go back to your own bed, go back to sleep"
the little boy ran sideways
down the hall tucking under
his extra half leg he leaped
quickly into his bed
pulling the covers over his head
"ha, ha, ha, what took you so long?"
whispered two earth worms as
they slithered in beside him
and a cool breeze fluttered in
through the lifted windowpane
"shhh, or you'll wake mummy"
the little boy began to go insane

Melted Collage

Heartkill
the carcass
of her heart
lay like roadkill
on the highway
of her life
barely recognizable
as any human
artform
or
humanitarian remain
not discarded
not dumped
not abandoned
along the side of the road
but a woman
that had been hit
then run over time and time again
by 18 wheeler mac trucks
masquerading as men
