Dumpsters overflow

With neglected fantasies

And abandoned dreams

Love and happiness

A bargain at any price

How about your soul?

Uninvited guest...

It appears we have a pig

in our truffle patch

Invested feelings

Thinking I was so special

Left turn, a dead end*

Dull knife seppuku

How did I ever get here?

Formal excision+

Cigarettes, regret

Coffee, Irish as your brogue

Vestiges of you

R, I forgive you and I love you with all my heart. I need you in my life. Don't let the devil keep us apart. My heart aches with every step you take in the wrong direction. A

In a darkened room

Sometimes the odd cucumber

Becomes a pickle

People amuse me

As I watch them I wonder;

How are they so calm?

O, caterpillar

How I envy your future

Metamorphosis

Prayer through pointy teeth:

Be all my sins remembered,

I’m so proud of them!

With trepidation

Drawn to her exotic realm

To feel, I will dare*

Standing there that night Fall weather and dead sadness Hard to heal from that*

This poet fears not

The passage of time and space

Only the last call

Tornado watches

Pollen counts at maximum

Spring, has indeed, Sprung

A possum crosses

Secrets hide in her pocket?

Pump the brakes, big shoots!

Artists, all of us

Memories are the canvas

Upon which we paint

The sun set, my heart is still broken, night falls, alone, hurt, and thinking of you, sleepiness to dreams, the sun rises, still awakening to a shattered heart.

The goat climbs the hill

The sheep rest in the meadow

Little do they know

Tongues are like aces

Gotta know when to hold em

and when to flick em

Sometimes like these, oh

When life hangs it’s awful fruit

And you gotta bite

Splinters, see-saws... rust

The merry-go-round is gone

We used to have fun...

To be forgiven

When I came to West Hartford

And lost a treasure

Trump thinks he is free

But what he fails to see now

Waits, lurks, in New York
