I am one who don't understand
The racial prejudice of any man
Sometimes I am startled in disbelief
Of the violence and deaths that leaves loved ones in grief
It's ignorance that causes this . . . more

ISIS AS CHILD AT RIVER
My star has fallen from the sky
the star that I'd chosen to pray to.
Has it done this just to terrify
and leave me wanting to die, too.
The sky is high and far away

Loving Father
I suffer.
In love, I watch my children.
Son plants green cacti,
deep into the fine, brown soil.
Pleased – eager.
He learns, looks to me – curious.

The figure in the window
As pure as the Snow,
Her face like an Angel,
Yet she carries an aura of the devil.
She is more beautiful than the Rhodora.
Is she Aphrodite or Pandora?
I curiously went near the . . . more

You knew
I first met you and you knew.
We talked about what we had in common and you knew
We spent little time together, but you knew
You keep me around to spend time with because you knew . . . more

The first day of Spring.
Still some chills in the air,
Yet it smelled clear.
The sky simply blue,
With no clouds in sight.
I sat at my desk,
Looking out the window,
Thinking what's going to . . . more

I'm sure you know me very well,
for you use me everyday;
To ruin reputations,
LIES would be my name.
Now don't claim you've never met me,
for you know me, oh so well;
I am your' . . . more

Why do you invade my space?
I feel you all over the place
In my clothes and in my food
I’m really not in the mood
I feel you crawling on my skin
Even when I haven’t touched the gin

For David Foster Wallace (1962-2008) who schooled us all.

Bonaventure
Sun casts amber
upon the monuments,
drips faded lavender wisteria
through tangles of Spanish moss.
Serpentine dirt roads
lead stones and statues
through this voiceless
marble garden.

Never Again
She asked me to kill a mouse because I am the man.
Because I don't feel, like her.
We fought when I didn't get around to it.
Because I was lazy, because it's . . . more

VENICE, WITH BONES
sack me gobs of lilacs the next time you float through
Venice
the glass lasts longer but is it as fragrant and
rife
all beauty bleeds so fast you have to run madly to

Weltschmerz of the Wolf
Ululate, long and hollow,

In a chasm of darkness.

Across forests and . . . more

Death brought great legends
And wreaths to rest upon his brow.
His dreams of peace, now fulfilled,
In a place of calm, comfort and warmth.
Sweetly his name is . . . more

Like sparkling Koi in a coral reef,
This quality of idea and capture.
Her eyes washed color all around,
With just a glance she stole feeling

For your hands giving me delight
For life that you feed me
For memories still alive
For music, for wine
For this trip into the unknown
For you I'm
For the loneliness that I . . . more

High above me is a place I long to be
It is a place where only the strong and mighty can survive
Where only those with vision dare
The place that the Eagle soars
Flying high where the clouds float by . . . more
