Air on a g string*

Filed under: Poetry

Today
The trees are truly
Alive they dance
& sway in their
Private ballet to
A silent music
They turn their
Leaves baring
Their soul & I
Was naked with
Them & younger
Than tomorrow’s
Dream

baxter crouched, batting
where headless, the fallen bird
provides no more fun

business

Filed under: Poetry

the tangled mess
of persons & personalities
wronged & ego muck slinging

sit back & smile
at a temper tantrum

a mass of arms & legs & guts
all strung stuck together
& spewing vomitory incriminations

the ego becomes a liability

sometimes through all the declamations
arbitrations exhumations exclamations
an old girl
just wants to write
a poem,
do some rhyming

but then the rent comes due

saturday morning soaking

Filed under: Poetry

raining cats and dogs
but the dogs will not go out
fear of falling cats

the killing at helen’s

Filed under: Poetry

this morning
a hooded man
bends over a streetcross
arranging flowers
in the solid grey rain
