    bright azure soul, your
    slate gaze hooks me from afar
    bring halcyon love
    shimmering feathered warmth with
    wings, beating against my heart

    Stalactite

    wooden slivers drip
    from the rafters borne aloft
    in Thumbelinaland
    a dimpled island of tunnels
    in times seldom visited

    spinning tubules of
    dark-dry air, touch the ground - jump -
    suctioning debris:
    cars, homes, grass, bones, picket fence
    dancing around wind's maypole.

    The party is grim;
    Filled with stark remainders,
    Were going nowhere.

    Balloons harshly restrained,
    Their potential constrained.

    Surfboard pieces, some
    Were swept away by the tide
    Like the teenager
    Out here alone, with a board
    That is now pieces of wood.

    huddled youths' hushed breaths
    hoarse giggles and hidden smiles
    eyes and voices low

    "see how Clark peed his trousers?
    that must be embarrassing"

    Doctor's Orders

    you will have to help
    yourself if you want to heal
    regardless of age
    fall in love with any thing
    you will get well without pills.

    Your child's cheek is scarred,
    Your handprint doesn't fade fast
    And the sharpness of
    Your ring incriminates you.
    Your bitterness never fades.

    Shimmering ridges
    Fold around the fresh wet wounds
    Moist. Crevices catch
    The air in pockets, seal up
    the life-sustaining fluid.

    Fatalism
    Faith is believing what you know ain't so - Mark Twain

    The preachers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves - Henry David Thoreau

    The way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason - Benjamin Franklin

    The teaching of the church, theoretically astute, is a lie in practice and a compound of vulgar superstitions and sorcery - Leo Tolstoy

    Ever seen a bird
    or an animal hoarding
    daily merchandise?
    Only Human beings hoard
    they of hunger only die!

    Wasn't it nineteen
    Eighty-seven? The window
    Chaotically
    Exploded. Trees worshipping.
    Elizabethan excess.

    Corrosive colour
    Haunts the dreams of scientists
    Spending endless time
    Peering into ancient past
    As their lives slowly crumble.

    Goodbye

    I wave goodbye and
    You wave goodbye and in time
    we will forget love
    and fork out large mortgages
    Live pension dreams, buy coffins .

    Vanishing tricks

    the phone is ringing
    lovers are fixing a date
    all done they move out
    the guy sights an ugly girl
    love's delirium is gone!

    behind: me, wag.
