Wisecracking

in a world of proctologists
all is ass-backwards

go analyze that

Twice Empty

Another's sadness
makes me so sad

Half-Penny Opera

how fluidly the flow shifts
one day a single mamba dances
before there was hyphen-nineteen anything

whirlybirds,
how easily mandalas fold

fingers are supplicants
to the mind and heart
and should only do good

be good,
chew nice

give Mother Gaia a hug, 
rub her back

old Mackey is back in town...
Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry

Haiku for Solemn Songs

In this stark starlight
beneath brightly shone moonbeams
sing we nightingales

The Low Chaparral

words that inspire
instill in us inspiration - hope...

grow soft petals one-by-one 
in beautiful fractals we compose

only to unravel just the same

we cling to notions otherwise:
a reared head 

I yearn for earnest lopsided grins,
even though I have never seen one

have I been alone 
all along up and down this trail
 
it's never been more dusty than now

Still, Untitled

At times, the stark life
will take your breath away

Sans Matériel

I feel like a dying match that rotates through space,
bends and contorts to consume the remainder of its own flame:
to perpetuate the light 

the darkness for now awaits just a moment longer...

Multi Ply

Today I am sporting heavier sleeves
on which I shall wear my heart

One for Ripley’s

A’int It Though

This morning I share a small bowl of very fine cannabis
with a praying mantis I find clung to my porch screen

She there on the outside, I face her soft underbelly,
through the mesh I stroke her legs and arms, antennae,
and admire that swivel-head so human 

I blow wafts of smoke her way, tiny shotguns, 
imagining her sharp inhales, filling her receptors, 
until she is giddy there in the pink sun rising, 
raising her prayers up

She swivels her head to me and I swear I hear
Got any cookies?
