swatted a black fly
with New Yorker Magazine
How the well-read wept
Twenty twenty-three
was the last great year for me
the old me, then me
Branches like bones
the great ribcage of the whale
of the great forest
wooden spine, smoking
under it eludes to the
beast the tree could be
masterbating to
dead pornstars, cumming before
them, honor the past
Her last name, story
I am my own obstruction
don't apologize
Black coffee hits me
hot on the tongue, mimosa
confirms my death path
Drink, never alone
always with my shadow here
to refill my cup
Bones and the bullets
remind us why we march for
morse smash burger joints
So hoT Snow melting
awaiting friends arrival
killing time with lime
Blomming, stagnation
not yet bloomed, tomorrow boy
keep the ego dim
Found a dinosaur
human Plastic toy under
the ice, carnivore
queen Tarantula
listens to my green moon dreams
over blackberries
Plated black berries
resemble nameless planets
with a thousand eyes
Even a direct
path walked a thousand ODD times
conjures a new turn
GRASPING TO CREATE
A BIG PLAN LAID OUT IN FULL
A SHOT TO INSPIRE
HER ORANGE CREAM SKY
LAUGHED THE SOLID BLACK MOUNTAINS
TO CROWN HEADLESS HOME
WHEN YOU THINK OF LOVE
SHE WILL BE THERE, ALWAYS AND
SO WILL YOU, PIGLET
FREINDSHIP TRANSCENDS TIME
IT MAY PASS, WE MAY SHARE IT
TRUTH THAT IGNIGHTS US
PRIVATE NIGHTS JUST ME
MOVIES, MUSIC, PEEING IN
A CUP, A STORY
MY PRIORITIES
ARE STILL MOVIES HOW FAR THEY
ARE, IS UP TO ME
THE BEAR IN THE DRAIN
GARGLED AND GROWLED WET WITH SPITE...
WAY DOWN IN THE DARK
IN SEARCH OF PLEASURE
NO MATTER WHO I FOUND THEY
BECAME BETTER PAIN
TWISTS AND TURNS HIGHLIGHT
NIGHT BEAMS OF DEAR COYOTE
HIDING BEFORE US
THE FLUTE PLAYER WITH
THE HANDLEBAR MUSTACHE RIDES
A MOTORCYLE
FOGGED UP WINDOWS IN
HOUSE OF BREWING LIBATION
SMELLS OF ARTICHOKE
THEIR BRITISH VOICES
BEHIND THE STEAM AND SUN
WAS ALL I COULD SEE
Saturday night drive
The sunset in the rearview
with CReamsicle sky
Raced a coyote
Along dark Pioneer trail
turned left, howl nice game
Allbino humpback
Whale, witness song so rare
Come back soon, ya hear?
Jellyfish reverse
transdifferentation
immortal pOlyp
“Koi No Yokan”
I wish I could JUST
Be more than who I used to.
I AM FAR more NOW.
DON'T BE LESS BECAUSE
it cheats YOU from being fair.
Adventure is more.
Nevertheless, have
you BEEN? Then how can you have?
Nonsense is a thought,
Be it as it may
I must take it very slow
I have just arrived
After twenty-five.
Years, I WAS seduced BY THE
DARSIDE, IT WAS LOVE
To feel the same form
of PAIN, F. Scott says. There are
all kinds of TRUE Love
in this world, never.
The same love twice, yes. Looking
for the same. Love is
folly and empty.
Relish THE love you had AND
OWN it forever.
Remind yourself how
many. Loves and forms of love.
You will always have.
You are made up of
that love. Never alone, please
Whisper it, sing it.
It is a song you
can sing and dance with always.
Creatures with voices.
Memories with tongues
Dreams with fingernails. Let your
record spin four sides
A, B, C, D! roar
The lions for you. now Frogs,
toads, join the swamp Stink
Primordial bog.
Smell the burning tar of change.
It laughs YAY with you.
Mother and Uncle.
Both near and far, are with you.
I appreciate
All that I have said
to YOU, This haiku story.
Is it a story?
Or just a THEROY ?
Where does it begin? Is there
a middle, an end?
All I know is that.
main protagonist, From There
to There, rest when There's
nothing THERE to see.
A Dachshund grew wings
and became the king of
The Toth Dragonflies
Building A Model
model building me to be
a story taller
Closest Living Kin
to Tyrannosaurus rex
eighty-eight faces
Eggs go crack a shell
capacity to see light,
ultraviolet
Gecko licks hello
Dead iguana on the shore
starboard sea turtle
Sun veiled by winter
storm, pure white hot disco ball
reflects me here, how?
Until tonight, pink sun
radiant as ever, my shine
hurts and yearns for sleep
Good day, handsome moon
I relieve you of your shift
crescent tail, depart
Angel entered me
took hold of my bones, bent them like...
metal on fire
Sore Skeleton skin
Satan's sunrise submarine
So Shy, she sauntered
For now could mean A
dawn, a day, a decade, or
a glass of Syrah
Witness me, witness
tree, branching out to see where
My roots will wander
This small book is for
My family and friends
flashlights in the dark
I told you to live
Life, never did I want it
to be without US
Conjuring a girl
to be the feels of that first
middle school dance world
In the last seat of
the last plane on the last night
before the First storm
I'm afraid to feel
how I'll feel, when I won't feel
youR soul in me more
I will wish you the
happiest birthdays I can
as long as I can
I'll be at the bar
on a hike, at the movies
more often alone
Who be it to say
that to cry is a weakness?
When muscles expand
When I cry, I laugh
When I laugh, I cry, and I
Thank you for secrets
I cry when I drink
I drink when I cry, and MY
Grace, Do You tango
Green and black toy car
Buried in Mexican sand
Never found the Green
ancient blue ocean
Pelican in the shade, green
Jungle keeps the peace
PINCHING out a LOAF
I wipe to find my own blood
again and again
Alligator bird
feathered scales and beak of Teeth
Eyes that see between
Oh my! Little Girl
How cute, on your stoop, eating
Fruit, watching cartoons
The salty winds bring
merchants from the mountains to
sell A bus ride home
American Voice
Mexican spice, I read A
book about Japan
Beyond The Roar of
waves crashing, chips crunching, The
Cobblestone music
Pelicans Descend
Beneath Vallarta's Waves
skydiving for fish
Scissors and toxin
a song to kill us slowly
leave the birds flyin'
Man of the hour
half-high, unannounced, dashing
raped his wife and child
Cut me loose, oh witch!
My dry nose numb with boredom
Can't your beast be shot?
Get your last grandma
some flowers before you spread
First Grandma's ashes
Can't sleep, know why so
high many times must I sleep
dreaming of mudpie
Thy hands are living
ships in orbit, ready to
self-destruct in ten ...
Haiku five seven
five, enough to plan a heist
demands poetry
Solid, still cosmic
statue swallows the rings of
saturn, smeared on toast
My October room
oh the places you'll make it
with. a spark of joy
Witness tree, witness
me seven thousand year ago...
bleeding tar and ice
Old man retrives kid's
kicked out yellow rubber ball
passing back the Earth
In the shadow of
the solo tree I take a
drink and look out there
Insects trill and chirp
she set his west on fire
and the war horse died
Bukowski, Bashō
And Baudelaire gave me my
passage beyond plight
Piss dripping down my leg
burning the devil's lettuce
intension again
Observing family
absurd fantasy for me
Collapsed in the mind
As fast as we go
the sun is faster than ice
Mountains beyond me
Midnight shooting star
coyote after enjoy
the buzz of my birth
SAw a coyote
walking into taco bell
crispy burrito
Solo Squirrel hops
under human chariot
acrons await him
Succumb to a freind
who knows you know knew you then
and yet a stranger
Driving metal spear
through ice to the stone with might
muscles feel static
Anger falls like snow
first lite then heavy melting
slippery metal
The Happiness thing
a fos at night eludes me
forgotten the taste
