The cardinal rests on a branch
as I watch it looking back at me
It seems to be observing

Snow falls silently in the background
and like a bright red apple on a bare tree

You are a SAVAGE!!!

You are a BEAST,

You got what it takes,

Just to say the least.

You have creativity,

You are top notch,

To be so brilliant,

You are so on top.

Whatever you are doing,

please don't stop,

can we see what's going on

can we find a way

to bring peace and love

here today

can we find a way to conquer hate

we don't need to escalate conflict

can we stop senseless violence

can we stop mothers from crying

can we find...

Am like Rick James when

it comes to rain

Im just a sucker for

your love

That surround sound

that get down rain

that pit pat sound against

the window pane

Such a quaint serenity when I

hear the rain

Insanity

I turned over a new leaf

now its a old leaf

on a pile of dry leaves

this timeline is like

walking a tightrope

you gotta perform feats

you gotta practice

balance to stay on top

if you fall off into the

deep end you gotta

do what you can to

stay afloat practice your

stokes hope for a boat

I died so many times

I stopped counting

all the funerals

Whether …Or Not

If we could time travel. Why not go back to way back when.

Where/if we can blend with spirits

as friends Rise above the noise of battles untold.

And leave our enemies lifeless, cold, dead, empty shells.

Let buzzards ...

Holidays that once so much

bought such

automatic joy

just that euphoric

The Mom The Dad

sister

Just those fond memories

For me Holidays

From the living Heartbeat of engineering

Ignition of the core

As the engines arclight catches the beat

as if a beast awakening from a deep sleep

as its eyespulsate with a strange innerglow

with a gleam ofintelligence

as if a faint whisper ...

Waves crashing against the rocky shoreline,

calling to mind... Dreamscapes we have stored

within ancestral memories

Spiritual pathways

OfDNA written in blood, skin and bones

Taking US from our hiding place behind the bushes

my intent
was for this to be squeaky clean
content acceptable for any poetry contest
or submission to any literary magazine
edible
palatable
safe to enjoy like cotton candy
make your foot tap to Miles Davis
snap your fingers to Cab Callowa...

Deep stimulation

Convos from the lung’s depth

Expelled from isolation

A blank space with no one else

And so I am the company I keep
