My Poems

creative writing is. imperfections of communication overlaid with art and emotion... recorded semi-permanently. almost painfully deliberate and ridiculous

for Ingrid, with confusion

lovely-fresh Spinach Pie ancient bravery recipe I wrote this afternoon

 

Bray: olé! barely a bear

more of a large dog or small cat

  a stick for the challenge!

a wig for the paper

                        then stir in some pockets, pretzels, talent.

            sing-smile, in Calfarizexico

              we can hardly keep time straight

                        as a (momentous) momentum moment.

            beating drums to piping pans

              (knees up to your neck in sand)

            gritty lies & truths lie

                        in lye soap, lydee dee.

            squared! the dancing,

              perhaps the knitting-ish (here

              I don’t know what I’m talking about).

                        But please don’t ever go away

                        to San Diego, Santa Fe,

                        or any other sunny place

                        where everyone says their supper-grace

                        in between the floors and

                        ceiling, generally.

                     I’d even like to go with you.

            What makes anyone afraid of forward?

            Bills? Loneliness? Time?

            Awkward Reality?

            Evermore! Unnecessarily.

              if your guitar is not too hairy,

              straighten the tag, zip pleats,

              tuck in the fly, you’re off!

 

and never look back to dreaming

sky of the forever was.

          however life, its internal ember

            soontimes whispers… “we remember”
