in a blue black space
with a cream center
the blackest blue
an oreo for the night
with a wicked grin
got some milk
moon says yes
dipping and grinning.

Shall I go on a mission, take a stroll on a hunt
Whatever I might fancy, rub a dub in the mud
Color pretty cover, just the facts, must and was
Roller coaster's ready, rush of dust, day of cause . . .

We were there, at the edge.
Tough, weathered at an early age.
Did we give up, did we sacrifice?
Where were you, near the edge?
We survived, we fought for you.
Riding out beyond the fringe. . . .

Dizzy
My heart
Spoke to my head
Too fast to understand
Everything I needed to hear

I lie alone, eyes wide
body crumbling beneath the weight
of imagined demons
You cross forgotten deserts
scorched deities ignoring
your noble farce
The buddha’s eyes narrow

The case is aloof, maybe causing some blues
'though it a minor nag, room for two on this cruise
In a room where things, habit or automatic
Wall clock said, saw, napped, then proof read it

I
Seven days of rainfall
Gray skies, wind, mud, lack of sun
Turns my brain to mush.
II
Green leaves cry raindrops,
Birds huddle, hiding in trees.
Cat wistfully watching.

Frosted autumn cake
Made with care by mom's own hands

of winter debt

Tattered carpets
were rug seeds
Persian
soft fuzz
on bare feet
Renewed
Harsh words
were spring . . .

I carry on my shoulders
a bagful of seasons
When hunger calls
I pause, take one out
and put it in my mouth
Candy floss . . .
