These Old Claws

My old hands are crooked flaws
tear our flesh accidental claws
we make hungry clumsy love
when a push becomes a shove.

100 Birthday Wish

I wish I knew you then.
I wish we'd start again.
I wish we've grown thin.
I wish I remembered then.

Juxtaposition

I'm sun you're rain,
    Pleasure to the pain.
    Cracked heart sustain.
    Join in Love's refrain.

Mad Clown Love

A million laughs
and bubble baths,
loud 1812 Overture
drugs open aperture.
Both mutes *******
broncos are bucking.
Watch silent movies
Garbo on her knees.

Huntsville, AL

2 lost souls met at Rugby's and
  crawled into each others heart.
  We loved 3 days and rose again
  into Southern light's fresh start.

LA Crematory

Santa Ana winds
angry fire maker
arsonist unbends
pizza oven baker.

Splinters

Everything came apart
shattered my heart
splinters always bring
paper cut pain unseen.
