hungry-like walking
yet step after step singing
unlike Kerouac

initial rainbows
for they may well know your name
and reserve you gold

worthy as that rock
placed upon a pedestal
showing its gold vein

humping the humpback
whale thru all of perdition
nice to get laid though

we will fill the rain
we will fill it with hardships
so they wash away

little scratchy leaves
scooting across the sidewalk
Halloween! Say boo!

sugarcake bridegroom
I have never tasted you sweet
let us make a peace

sociable climbs,
you populations of one
don't drown your cherries

hope has a left wing
that's far shorter than the right
that's why she flutters

interludes with cream
happening in October
love like a goblin

the shells of meaning
especially for the snail
grow ever bigger
scary trip between shells though
sometimes you have to slow crawl

always beautiful,
Barbie, and so often white
plus all those dresses!

lean upon sorrow
and in the hush of evenings
shiva for yourself

grace like a platter
overflowing with fine fruits
just a sip of wine

shadow on my wall
twilight makes you so much more
but I imagine

sweet wafer, sweet wine
the dervishes whirl so close
I know their herts too

little knots of time
curl slowly in my footprints
never to unwind

November soon comes
the cabbage's now purple-white
seasons changing robes

care so heart-felt deep
I let you answer softly
my obsessive tooth

Grandiosity
so much soaring on the wind
fellow rabbits run!

Grandiosity
so much soaring on the wind
fellow rabbits run !

lone, lovely goddess
this garden will make us one
when we feast, dance, sing

the calm between waves,
the moving calm, gentle calm
that heals the roughed beach

unconditional
is like riding a pale horse
that enters mine fields

place a dreamy dream
on the hot griddle of love
find out if it cooks

enjoy the mowing
around the white picket fence
watch out for the grill!

On suburbia

her washing machine
keeps the gold tiger at bay
cycle by cycle

shy the ugly moon
pimples all over her face
yet the sun touches

squeeze the soft rainbow
the one that answers questions
after the hard rains

romance seems the boat
with somebody overboard
who gets pulled back in

rolling back the stone,
I hear, feel, the gravel crunch
on my muddy path

the song of the heart
makes all of the shepards dance
as I blink again

hibernating dream
like a bear in the forest
you wake up hungry

kiss like the darkness
that erases your shadow
and welds you to stars

confront not lions
confront the dreams that linger
after all the green


medicate the rain
make it come in soft teardrops
to mask all the pain

Soup Kitchen Blues

all the fallen leaves.
frail, broken, forgotten leaves
that scatter along
