    Orgasms are spasms

    Memory
    of autumn,
    brittle grass
    broken by the wind.

    I stood once
    pushing my face
    toward Heaven,
    only once.

    B.y.o.b.

    B. Y. O. B.

    The heavy wind didn't drag down
    the airiness of the dance,
    nor did the rain dampen
    the delight in their songs.

    Goldfinches bring the sun
    wherever they go, and when
    they throw a party, the invitations say:
    “Bring your own beams.”

    The Royal "We"

    The Royal "We"

    Forget for a moment
    that Satan used it
    referring to himself;

    instead remember how
    serviceable it was
    for emperors and kings,

    not to mention that
    present-day celebs
    can pluralize

    their egos, while
    simultaneously
    humbling themselves.

    Hey, if it was good
    enough for Show Business,
    it’s good enough for -
    us.

    We celebrate your latest poem.
    By “we” I mean myself
    and Gus and Edna.

    If each of us were we,
    imagine what a multitude
    we’d be!

    But excuse us now
    as each of us, on his or her own,
    have need to use the ‘throne’.

    Thank you Dave and Hawkman, but Prince, your retort is 100% -- no make that MLB-style 110% -- better than ours.

    Slaves

    Born in fetters
    raised in chains
    in death only
    freedom gained.

    Born in palace
    clothed in silk
    by ritual and convention
    maimed.

    Lover leaver, smile eater
    had a life but wouldn't keep her
    put her through a special hell
    and there he left her, so unwell.

    No new verses
    no new thoughts
    no new fancies
    no new ports

    no new missions
    no new words
    no new visions
    no new birds

    Summer Shower

    In the field, the namesakes
    of Queen Anne held high
    their lacy parasols,

    while on the hill, the mute
    trumpets of daylilies blared
    with orange melodies.

    In the Stillness of Herat

    Herat, of the Moon,
    The Night Lit Citadel,
    where Alexander's regaling laugh
    trails still, unbound, unconquered.

    Where Jami wrote of seven thrones,
    and now Nazemi crows out
    silent white flowers,
    a mute village rooster at dawn.
    "Remember, we are all in this alone." - Lilly Tomlin
