Round about
a way
Not straight
true north
Nor west

Places that never
belong to anyone
Well, they should
not belong to anyone

They need to be free
As we need to be free
Not encumbered

She smiled, with
her blue eyes bright
As she twirled
a bit of her hair

Syntax, The Unexpected Error

Day 3 January 2017 Poems

Tweets ought to be
birds singing
Yet, we sigh,,, some
Unconvinced vernacular.
Those that believed, |Still|

Others, set in their ways;
For change, ought not
See,
See,
Have
Seen
the disruption.

1930s come, go.
1950s come, go.
2016 come, go.

We bargain, we fear, we rage
“We” in the mixture of the
larger audience needs to
reach into the bowels,
the sanguine parts
And twist,
Bloodied
we turn

Build voices
quiet resistance
less than a number of ticks
How many 140?

Tick, tick, tick-
tock.

I went to a meeting yesterday considering a place on a panel of other artists, it was quite educational and enjoyable.   I plan on volunteering to jury other artists applying to sell their wares at the 23rd Street Artists‘ Market, in Austin, TX.  The Market has been around since the 1970s. It has much historical and artistic value to the citizens, and local artists.  I am thrilled to be a part of this!  More soon

The silences

of life linger

Momentarily

on lips

Pursed ready

for love

That does

not come

Haunting persistent eyes

Play in shadows

Lost

Merriment gone

Playfulness

in darkness

Reckoning

into loneliness

Moving blocks

to and fro

Stacking

and

knocking down

bruising while

discarding

musing silence ۩

Light Lost (poem from 2010)

Light Lost (poem from 2010)

  • The light trembles behind

    thoughts, that fly polymer.

    Bring exacting.

             |Away|

    from anything of me

    bridges of death

    send ghosts to

    quivering brows.

    I am the cocoon

    nine times deeper in sand.

    statements only in innocence

    compares with you

                  |unknown|

    the speak spin hurt

    at a life long |dream|

    Hot energy washes

    the fascicle tendons on nerves.

    part in hard waters slaying the heart.

    verbalize something

    meager words hold so much

    to drive you away.

    not realizing the

    life long journey and

    pride in your heart.

    you brought me

    through the fog’s interlace

    neurons explode.

    the might of the loss

    passes away along the

    road to silence.

    mire the water

    slip down. the deep

    earth’s skin cover.

    my pearls on you

    circling. circling

    |down|

    summer’s breath wavering.

    The year of 2010, July 24.
