Snowflakes, bamboo leaves; raked flames
Set to burn the big house down
The stakes are risen higher
With pyre of unfamiliar faces
Races on the intoxicated flyer
Shy times in the distant colony
Stop it, stop it; stop this nonsense
Did you not feel it in those moody eyes
Did you not see it in those smiling eyes
Did you not catch it in those guilty eyes
He takes her, she drives the liar
His twitch begets the stuttered paces
Laces of rum for your ever evil sire
Cries of madness, instant felony
Ashes; floats of paper debris; flaked
Unsound frames of reference decoupled

Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by

In a book
Eight days ago
Butterflies in profusion
A warm calm
The end of an Indian summer
Today the gulls battle the wind
As maniacs in flight
Who knows their destination
Who understands there sense of reason
Yesterday fire and snow
Love, infatuation
& snippets
Of vagrant poets words
Before that there was long ago
Humans still told spoken stories
A cold struggle
As if the beginning of civilization

Pull Off
Stainless steel table top
Spots of rain turn to mottled motifs
As one might find on oil slicks or lava lamps
Prickled points of container plants
Dead in their autumn shade
As one might find in Nash's paintings of lost hope
For the last time, for the last chase of words
Somewhere, on the way to somewhere else
A service station, for those in need of a service

Café Days
The congestion
More congested
Would a breath
Of oxygen
Ease
The conveyor belt

Bar Days
Just beneath the Jameson
Down the road
From the crocodile skin shoes
Watching the video
Streets of Philadelphia
