Giddy-up-pony

I like when her hands 
slip into 
the small of my back
like a giddy-up-pony
at the county fair.

Tether

Once, I was sure, but lacked 
leaf's courage to let go.
Now, I fear the wind.

Yes, I am fully aware that this has been done before. Think of it as a page, a meditation, a reminder on your calendar that says stop...forget your formulas, read the words. Then forget the formula of forgetting the formula forget the words. Crawl out from under your rock. Notice the shadows you cast and try not to stuff them into a bottle. Try not labeling the bottle.

Aokigahara

Awakening doesn’t mean 
a lifetime of day lilies,
sometimes it’s an unbearable 
dense forest. Where 
pine limbs jerk under duress.
Heavily fruited bodies 
swing 
twist
swirl 
toiling to liberate 
bedeviled shadows
who’ve seen behind
the veil.

All the Pretty Girls

In a mountain college town,
I, the elder, pose 
in a coffee shop,
a cliche scribbling 
notes for Mr. Poem.

Bryers Cherry Vanilla

Emptied after two days, 
its creamy contents 
stales in
the whales belly
and he wonders why
he can’t shit.

Campaign Speech

He opens his mouth 
spewing 
a mosquito swarm 
that morphs 
from one ameba shape 
to another;

the harried cloud 
scampers toward 
Frog Creek
where
The Faithful gather 
smiling 
at one another 
awaiting this evenings 
amuse-bouche.

Betrayal

Though you say
the morning cock crowed
I was miles away.

Mosquito bastard
loitering, piercing,
diseased, delirious.

Jealousy

Brown goo, 
sepia seeping 
under currents
squeezed between
teeth.
