Telephone Amour
…for
Pam
Your voice, oozing lush
Syrups of plums and peaches,
Seeps with love's juices...
“No Making Out in the Checkout Line!”
Fixed
on how
you gnawed/
My neck,
the flustered clerk
stewed./ We
lewdly cared less.
terminus
...for ’tish
we go down, as must
true lovers, come dark: in love-
musk cocooned, we drown.
No Cougar, She
...for CFM
.i. Blue
Hers is some bouquet,
Laced with such potent petals
— Your stunned heart spurts.

Am|our

as through some crypt,
uncalled eyes...
My spare books,
my coffee mug, my lamp,
my schemes, on pages limp,
bore their look...
Songs half-writ,
my lyrics, partway through their scan,
absorbed each dude, each skeptic skin,… Read full post »
I've Got Chills Too! …I'm on Board with Susan Boyle.
Now I've become a believer. A day or two ago my wife triumphantly sent me a link to the YouTube clip of Susan Boyle's performance on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, while refusing to tell me what was so remarkable about it, then she sat grinning to watch my response as the neat… Read full post »
Seed
it's burning
with a need
to blurt
and fling
its seething
(a greedy
laden thing),
craving
air —
exposure
to ignite
its purblind flare
to spurt! out! and brave
the dark, nattering neutrals of the night
