_Me,
Standing
Underneath
A swamp cypress
******* at an orange while the rain falls
~
Tacky fingered and smelling of citrus
T-shirt front stained
Warm with juice,
I taste
You._

***For
love is
a gamble,
I'll give all I
have or nothing at all to feel your warmth***

Dusts
Wistful
Dry powder
Of lost moments
Specks of melancholy and heartaches

_Spin,
Mister
Fisherman,
Throw me a line;
A fluttering lure of burnished vowel chimes
Bait, braid and bailor - snap, swivel and fly;
Dub well your quill,
Hook me low,
Run me
High_

Moon
smiles
Though the sky
Gets dark and sad
Becomes more resplendent,
Luster, an optimistic satellite
Though its alone in the dim firmament
Its sheen does not waver
Gives a wider,
Brighter,
Beam

_Why,_
You ask,
_Use ten words
When two will do?_
‘Cos a pair is always eight words too few.

I
tilted
my halo
at life, for kicks;
and life kicked back.

_Grease
Wagon
Paper cups,
Hot chips and sauce;
Sticky fingers dip in for just one more..._

_Up
At five,
Rummaging
For matching socks;
I meet my train, asymmetrically dressed._

_red
neon
rain spattered
pavements teeming;
one thousand prismatic shades of meaning
graffiti-laden puddles splish, splosh, splash;
as midnight turns
to blue, and
dawn to
ash_

He
recites
poetry
before sunrise.
Belts out Broadway ballads as the dawn glows.

Still
Here in
Atlantis,
Mother of pearls.
Iridescent; being pregnant with light,
A world rebuilding - waiting to hold you.
Resurfacing:
Sea the sun,
Finding
Home.

Alone
I learn
How to live
By myself now
It’s hard but I’ll be okay without you.

You
* can ****
your own men
in friendly fire
And toss their bodies on a funeral pyre
Or bury them in sand if you desire
Wrapped in barbed wire
dust to dust
still man
You.

War
is good
for business
both big and small
Profits will rise and make inflation fall
But soldiers, sailors, airmen, warriors all
must heed the call
face fighting
even
Death
