i was
feeling crapsy,
so started up my pen
and drove syllabically back
to me.
*********************************
Winding
Stark dark highway
High beams Owl screams and swoops
Racing tires to spotlighted mice,
Doomed twice.
**********************************
Wiping
Thick desert dust
Off a long stored relic,
I learn that flotsam and jetsam
Are trash.
**********************************
Outside,
Summer blossoms
On a blazing sidewalk,
Committing trees and we alike
To Fall.
Enclosed
air conditioned
to sweat-free breezy ease,
watching heat-treated tourists wilt
Outside.
Mating
Lola
fair fur, blue eyes,
To Luke a Tonkinese
Displays the ways of the Siamese,
Then purrs.
Mink fur,
Sable brown face -
Feline grace sacrificed
to urgency and pheromones,
Luke cries
