You say we’ll talk of hopes and dreams
(Implied: “The things to come”--
But we do not speak of things to come).
As yet we’ve only gone so far as
Theoreticals about old age
But not our own.

I have peacocks
and Arabian horses.
And my God I have peaches
more than I can fit into my pockets and
overflowing my arms and
bouncing rolling softly around my feet when they fall from my
desperate hands.

a heart so real
the weight of a soul
flowing through it
ready to reach out
what you choose to hide
is what you show to me
if only you knew
a mind so sharp
aware of the truth
brilliance illuminating
shadows of doubt
what you never would say
is always what I heard

Sparrows 15 March
Through morning window bubbles
Candied chirping of sparrows.
A flock of starbursts
Spinning the spirit skyward.
Reconstruction 16 March
Ping Ping Ping Ping!
Steel against cold concrete hammering
seeking out hollows and
flaws.
Trains 17 March
Two red trains running
towards collision.
Nothing happens.

Ones to which no one else would do.
Making a commitment and seeing it through
Dying for a cause you truly believed in.

Forever in our hearts.
“It’s too late to apologize”
but I’m sorry.
I’m sorry for all the times I wasn’t there
for all the times I didn’t call.
You’d have been there if I took a fall.
But I was always

I love the way you kiss my nose
sending electrifying sensations to my toes.
I like your cool whispers against my neck;
ummm & your warm kisses peck by peck.
I love your arms wrapped lovingly around me-
Oh I wish I could stay this way for eternity.
My body feels like heaven when

broken antennas and crumpled blunt wrappers.
eager eyes looking for validation.
half-empty bottles and growing piles of cigarette butts.
half-dazed bodies stumble out the gate blinking their eyes
and shaking their heads still in shock.
the boys in blue slap their knees and taze when necessary.

One night under heavens bridge she laughed at the gun smith

to the stars she cried to the moon she sang
the melancholy song that became
a part of her a part of life
the stars give no reply as she cries
instead play waiting for their time
the girl began to sob and then

I have a story to tell & I think you oughtta' listen;
because what I have to say is important so pay attention.
I've been shot at molested & my name dragged through the mud;

What about steam after it escapes from your cup-
How about if nothing could hear would there be a sound-
Does it really take one muscle to smile & many to frown-
Ever thought about why extreme emotions causes us to tear-
Or why it tickles
