Unpardoned Turkeys
Laid down in green pastures A summertime babe, spotless coat observed Mealtime, come mealtime   Broth to be served

Lamb
Oh humble stop sign Solitary red, eight-sided angel divine How you stand guard of your paved palace Forever faithful, a task met without callous Oh humble stop sign, I wonder, is it not absurd? To be armed with nothing but a four letter word?

Ode To A Stop Sign
Daisy’s voice Rising and swelling Among soggy whitewashed alleys Cups and lemons and flowers Twinkle-bells of sunshine Plum blossoms Pale gold odor Daisy’s voice A clear artificial note It was the hour of profound human change Outside the wind was loud Daisy’s voice Amid the welcome confusion A faint flow of thunder along the Sound Her throat Full of aching Grieving beauty Gatsby Of a nebulous hue Dripping bare The mantlepiece In his ghostly heart That voice held him most With its fluctuating feverish warmth Was a deathless song - But to I there wasn’t a sound But the bird voices in the trees Without a word or gesture I went out of the room Down the marble steps Into the rain Leaving them there together They had forgotten me I thought with humiliation Gatsby didn't know me now at all

Daisy’s Voice
Place the red patty Sizzle sizzle flip sizzle Slide between buns, done

How Monkeys Say Sorry
At the top of the mountain Reins Billy Goat Ram Who grew in two sets of horns When he was only a lamb By Dawn every shadow flies off in retreat With the stomp of his hoof And a cry of his bleat By Dusk returns the crows Cawing their doubts and reprimands A mere buzz in the ears of Billy Goat Ram For success is the only thing he understands!

Billy Goat Ram
I lift this glass of Bourbonade A toast to every friend I've ever made When we parted at the road, we promised to head East Where the fun never stopped and sun never ceased No one is here yet, they must have been delayed

At The Crossroad
I dangle heavy and low on my Mother’s limbs Gravitating towards the earth below Her arms outstretched Ready to let me go I hold on Looking down to see What is it that awaits me Figures salivate with hands cupped Anticipating when my lush form Will plunge into forlorn palms Now I await a fate unknown In bitter silence A stark contrast to my Sickly sweet interior No longer a bud No longer a juvenile I am whole and desirable Ready to be picked

Overripe
Ever since my age had begun to stack I’ve noticed a creature behind my back I don't ever turn around because it will retreat Tucking its tail and retracting its teeth Despite how it sneaks I know it still stalks Through empty rooms, down hollow walks Past the woods, and in the dark It follows close Hums and waits Around every bend No matter the scape If it is to catch me Then it must be faster My youth a cure for that wretched adder With legs trekking further than it can slither Eyes much sharper than it can figure Forever I can run without a care For the beast behind me could not compare Though if I still begin to grey My joints aching And teeth decay Know it was I who allowed its venom to win For no slow creature could ever do me in However, If I ever looked back to see What was always after me Past empty rooms, and hollow walks Through the woods, and in the dark I would know there was never such slow beast But a sliver Much quicker Then I could ever perceive With a pointed tip and feathered end That granted me the belief that I was ahead Despite my claim that I could run Away from something That can’t to be undone Know that despite the fear That we’ll soon be gone Time’s arrow still marches on
