You sir, working in your garden
With your leather laugh wrinkled face
Calloused hands steady to the ***
God loving salt of the earth soul
You are my brother
You my lady, tending to your family
With your silver locks of hair
Portraits on the wall
Rocking chair tales of innocence (lost)
Untold secrets that will remain
Untold
You are my sister
He who walks down Bond Road limping
Broken banjo string strumming
Songs of the mother land singing
Tepestuous youth smiling
He is my brother
She who hides in the shadow
Licking incestuous wounds inflicted
Untrusting broken open heart that
Bleeds nightly
She is my sister
You are all angels of light to me
And I love you

I see beauty in soft greens
Triumphant blues escaping
From under the black fading to grey
Adrianne lost her son
When buds sprouted outside
Muddy rain soaked windows
She will never be the same
I hug my daughter
Like this is the last time I will see her
Viscous malt thickness throat closure
Because it could be me
Because why not me
I still see beauty
In fog drifting off the harbour
In the melodies of Mozart
The flavors and spices
Of everyday life
But Adrianne doesn't

On the way to school
Two goats on top of a barn
Always made us laugh

To the half Korean girl
With the nicotine tongue
Who moved to the cubicle next to me
So many years ago:
I am sorry
Blame the hops and barley fueled evenings
Golden amber distorted judgement
Distilled only by the sound of
Fraudulent desperate laughter
Confusing lust for affection
With the faint scent of revenge
In your hair
On your French manicured
Fingertips
Blame the sulfite moon
And the rain dripping down
Highway map trail windows
Coyote past lovers
Egg yolk stained Dennys menus
And the coffee cups that were never
Empty
Empty
Mascara stained chest
Lesbian *********** dreams
The fear in my eyes
Almost gave me away
I am sorry
I didn't mean to **** you

Brutal, unforgiving
Organic
Like sand in your teeth
Undeniable as truth in its purest form
As beautiful as color
Planes are departing
Landing
Crashing
Frogs are leaping
Dogs are guarding
Cells are dividing
The woman with her Judas smile
Poison forked tongue flicking
Darkens my doorstep no more!
Freeways hum
Refrigerators buzz
Oil goes unchecked
I turn off the tv set
Ignore the rioting in the streets
Look away as the one percent
Ruins America
The silence of the phone
Is deafening
Tomorrow is uncertain
As I contemplate my obsessions
And A.D.D
I wonder how patient
Can God be

Last night I sinned
I sinned again
And I'll never be forgiven
If I cry
It's because I've tried
To improve this life I'm living
I say I'll do better
But I never
I do everything the same
It makes me think
This life stinks
And it's just a ******* game

The butterfly knows
Moths are just as beautiful
Without the make-up
