hamsters are not known
for their care free boating
proclivities

they prefer to go round
and round-essentially-
land-lovers..

i travelled with one
he liked spaghetti
i recall his first

glimse of the sea-o-
little eye
evening star..

Someone is lust,
Caring and respecting is value.

Do I know crazy
I know him well
Too much time
In and out of hell

Even the strongest
Can't keep
The sky from falling
My motor's running
My mind keeps stalling

Here I am
If there’s anything you need
My heart is racing
My brokenness is in the lead

Neither God nor the InterGossip seems to listen:
A question posed is answered with a sneer
Or a silence as cold as this late-autumn dusk
Or a relationship well into decay

You were my mother until I was forty-one.
I was fortunate and lucky to be your son.
December has arrived and Christmas is near.
Life would be better if you were still here.
You were the best woman that I've ever known.
But since you died, I've spent Christmases alone.
If you and I could share another Christmas, it would be great.
But you died over eleven years ago and it was a terrible fate.
I still miss you to this day and that is certainly true.
Have a Merry Christmas, Mom, everybody loves you.

I'm kinda ridiculous
I'm aware I play the fool
William Shakespeare in Staunton
And at Sage Ridge School

Fondly, fondly Reno
Open big blue sky
Rodeo, O rodeo!

Goodnight

You sing and call so sweetly,
Summoning me closer,
Into the folds of your arms.
The shadows of your bent head,
Tucked down close to mine,
Reflecting a comfort and safety
That I’ve never felt before.

The voice of the night is soft,
Welcoming, in a way
That you could never be.
And I love her, deeply,
But she could never be the night.
She is not you.
I hope I see you soon? I want you back, but I know this is better for you than I was.
Pushing hard
against the words
the order
disarrayed
The ultimate guest
the consummate stranger
so close
— so far away

(The New Room: December, 2024)
If the past’s
not alive
The future
is dead

With memory
starving
Hope’s promise
unfed

What yesterday
gives us
Tomorrow
awaits

All hope
in the transfer
Of destiny’s
— fate

(The New Room: November, 2024)
