A blessed closet,
The best heart, a breathless life
And I damned well share
The Edge
Too much
Water
Has fallen
Fallen
By-running-too-fast-to-the-edge
The edge
Where water
Hoped
To live
Just live
Pallasite Cufflinks
Wear pallasite cufflinks to tea
Solely so
That when you speak to me
In conversation,
And I hear
The soft, tenor timbre
Of your voice
Against a backdrop
Of silver teaspoons
Accidentally clanging
Against fine, bone china,
I’ll be reminded
Each time you lift your cup
To your lips
Of the laughable thought
That you are of this world.
This Haiku: The Only
This Haiku: Milk and Ink
Mind & Soul
The moment of truth
Is a when, not an if
I think to myself
What have I as a gift?
I could give my left
But I care about fair
My right’d wound us both
Me up here, you in there
So my best offering
Is what I’ve all-ways giv’n
A fine blend of saint
With some sprinkled in sin
This Haiku: Drumbeat
This Haiku: Still Suspended
Dare Us
Hey Galaxy
Give up your best tragic smile
From out of the dark look us square in the eyes
Like it’s the first time
Like it’s the last time
Kick out your knee and with one hand in your hair, use the other to calm down your thigh
Tell us you’re leaving
Part your lips and dare us to come with
