Tepid water
between
my toes,
I know
life.
Here is a link to my recently published limited-edition book.  Rise Up Collected Poems and Short Stories.

That bubble of a moon is 
playing peek-a-boo behind
the wispy night sky.
Confirming to me
everyone's lunacy.
Words stick to the
roof of my mouth
like peanut butter.
It could have been 
a better world,
I should have been a
better man.

January snowflakes
are like guilt falling from
the sky.
little frozen starfish...
cold and raw on 
the soul, and tongue.

I want to kiss you
I want to feel the electricity between us
I want to light the flames in your heart
I want to burn the world with our passion
I want everyone to dream about us
I want our love to be the storybook children get to read
I want to be open
I want to be close
I want to float into the sky without worry
I want to kiss you
I hope you want that too
This time, I need to end it slowly...
Half-boot to full
And then...She's gone.

The curb awaits.
In the blink of the Eye
We will become nothing more
Than the dust beneath our feet,
Our collective thoughts and ideas
Smoke- borne into the furthest
Reaches of the expanding universe...
Who knows the entity that sees these plumes
And deciphers our record,
The amazing yet predictable story of the Rise and Fall of Mankind?
Climate change is real, folks.
Big egos dream big
Yachts no longer speak of wealth
Billionaires in space.
