Overhead At The Garden Fence

Yeah, about as liberal as my butt.

She doesn’t even compost!

Chagall 2015

I’m finding more
guitar picks
laying lying around
these days

I’m feeling
more nimble
then and than
stars

We, I believe
are our own
answers

Swear
on a pinky
ring

More in
a haze
these days

Amazing these
swifty
autumn ways

O’My

Obtuse
oblique
opaque
but
oh so
entertaining

Chagall 2015

Avoid these patterns intentionally

Reticent or slightly dense –
there is a difference you know.

Not even a rhymer.

Like throwing zephyrs at darts
– oh you know what I mean!

(don’t make me type all caps)

{

One star
for everyone

We begin
as well as we end

Simply
carbon}

Chagall 2015

Easier to float up
than glide down

I fear for crashing
unable to brake

Ascending I’m secure
push gravity

Full-massage body
peculiar underwater

Chagall 2015

Any two people
anytime
reflect the face
of each other

a patch of land at sea
under starlight
is where I embrace you

we kiss to the lap
of warm waves

a timeless moon-blue
velvet moire overhead
opens to the expanse
of all existence

a single moment
an eternal glimpse

Chagall 2015

Sotto Voce

I have no energy left yet so much to say.

No, that’s not right. I simply have need to say something.
There is no specific content or quantity in mind.

I hope that in describing that need
I’ve said something.

Writing is no longer a viable alternative
for that primal scream I would emit
hurling myself off a rooftop.

Chagall 2015

Candlelight Anisette

She tried to convince me
that she was the list of all things
the ontology

She placed the back of my head
against her breasts then kneaded the pain
from my shoulders

Her rhythms were micro
inside at times then upon the muscle
a consummate masseuse

She turned me folded around
hot moist wrappings
settled-in cool smooth sheets

She leaves a dulcet tone
rung before it’s struck
reverberating

still

Chagall 2015

The Time Traveler

She whispers
It’s you from long ago
And indeed I feel younger, more vibrant

As I run soft kisses along her neck
I ask her
How will I be?
