What I am Not
I’m not a monster I’m not a lily I’m not a basket case I’m not going to melt I’m not going to runaway I’m not going to disappear I’m not foolish I’m not unwise I’m not unseasoned I’m not going to live forever I’m not going to […]
A hall of ghostly apparition-He will slay me
Clad in a tuxedo he whizzed by me Then dressed in a black and white zoot suit He wanted to tap my shoulder But instead he sang into my ear I opened the door He snuck out behind me Playing hide and go seek with my fears He […]
I long for another piece of your cake
I’m scared to look To see deep inside Afraid of the cracks I might find Afraid of the pain that will rise I’m afraid to taste To bite off more than there is Afraid everything will crumble Afraid everything will gnash I’m afraid to feel To touch the […]

Drunk in its porridge of tarnish
It’s soiled Your face, your look, your tongue It all reeks of emptiness Why pretend to be clean As you leave behind a trail of dirt with no recompense. It’s muddy Your thoughts, your ideas, your vision They all criss-cross a blurred line The morning coffee […]
What do I feel?
What do I feel? Can a birdie tap me on my shoulder, whisper in my ear and tell me? What do I feel? Can a fly on the wall break through, buzz my ear and tell me? What do I feel? Can a puppy wake from slumber, kiss […]
