fancy ashes
A bull-hauler in transit, glutted with bovine, Incentives last seconds of life, But in the cold Awaiting slaughter…what dreams May become?

Illusions in Reality. Art, Love and Caffeine
Cupid’s head, decapitated, set in stone, Mounted as The Fountain-head, spits A Stream of water, Which arches and frames, Park grass Overlapping the horizon, Adorned with picnic tables, Shelters, willow trees And The occasional dandelion. * * Black specks leap In the distance, additional focus Transcribes taxonomy Adjusts their shapes and adds fur, Whiskers, bushy […]

“No fair. No fair.”
Villains escort a mask and regulate dance, an advancement step Creating space, promenaded to be measured as Rhythmic air. No fair. No fair. Medieval trials deliberated guilt through intent.

Leading Backwards
Alienation negates the spy, observing at a distance, scope transfixed at center. A denial to focus on the ramblings relating space to tongue, off the center, specks take form and shapes related to memories begin again.

Choose to Win
A duck died, his body floated throughout the pond-water and on occasion collided with shoreline, but always returned back to drifting. When winter turned the water to ice, he was frozen from the neck down. At night, approaching headlights struck his dead eyes and they lit up like stars. During sunny days, his profile functioned […]

First Snowfall (it won’t happen again)
Human trappings Outweigh organic life. This notion accepts All that is For- Ever Is here now. Basic snow Trips Hands to let go, One-Of-a-Kind Shatters Snow covers those remnants too. Complimenting cycles To induce One-Of-a-Kind Again. Park patrons prepare their minds To reduce virginal white, Putrefying pine Honoring the connection. Observance. Fastened. Per snowfall. Purity […]
