The Bed of Dahlia Petals

I adored her partially because
she loved ground cherries too
and knew the right time for plucking
is just around sunset when the pods
are day-dry, sec sweet

The Bridge

on Twist n’ Shout John Lennon’s voice fucks up so smooth and good

To be sans emotion
suggests to me that
one’s never seen
– even once –
sand and ocean

Retrograde

She deleted a post a day
until her blog was unborn.

of other people’s rework of adaptations

Dead Serious

Life expectancy is a state of mind.
At 60 I tell myself I am less
than a tenth of the way there – to set the tone –
and my genes respond quite favorably.

Stop selling yourself short – get ready for the long haul.
Luxuriate in life and time.

Enough of this “60 is the new 40” crap.
600 anyone?

a tale,
emit,
alit on tines;
time,
timeless,
timelessness;
lament time,
I tell my tales,
all mine;
sentiment,
sentimental,
sentimentality;
mental state,
stalemate,
sameness;
names,
a mess,
me…I…;
limit,
limitless,
limitlessness;
miles yet,
I smile,
till I lie still;
sense,
senses,
sensate;
sans any timelines,
ill in time,
my last line;
senile,
senilely,
senility;
it lies,
in nil,
sans any tielines;
stillness,
stillnessless,
I see me all lit in tinsel.

Overheard Just Now

You can’t do what they don’t tell you to do,
it’ll only make things worse.

What’s Your Sign?

A copulating cluster of cicada killers crowds the concrete walk,
but I don’t care – I just walk on by with my head held high,
hoping they don’t attack me.
