with its creaking door
it's not the hooting owl
across a cemetery
not dark of night
not goblins, ghouls, or ghosts
no specter haunts me.
but
that song
those places
times left to slip away
hurts that never heal
memories to forget
as if I could
that
haunts
me

Diving
in the shallow end
of life
isn't really the safe option

Blind men leading,
and the mute follow.
The future
stands wide open,
if you have the right key.

...that life is a blank canvas
after I've
pawned my paint and
brushes
for a bitter cup of coffee
and a bus pass.

I would banish all my ghosts
banish all pain
all shame
I would banish the night
but then
I might forget my name

Oh,
to
float free
among
the
clouds
But the sky
is clear and blue

Thwarted again.

Rortle beans.
You've never had them.
But if you had,
You would know
They make you chortle.
Like a tortle on its back
Would never do
To you.
Poor tortle. (flip 'em over will ya)

Something?
Anything?
Nothing.
That's what I have today,
nothing.
But nothing
might be
something,
if seen a certain way.

5 pm Halloween afternoon
87 degrees outside
I wonder--is that in the shade?
Anyway,
I'm not expecting many snowmen
Looking for Snickers bars.

The club was hot.
The music rocking.
On the floor I was dancing for
Joy!
Only to find out she left with
her girlfriends.
