Now I lay down to sleep
But, I can't...so
With me, a book I read
I try to take away the pain
to forget about you
and when you ripped my life away
I am having trouble breathing . . . more

my mom lied on her back
you said you weren't my father

maybe mom had
at least ONE good time
If what you said . . . more

You and I were never strangers.
long before we ever met
you held the key to my heart.
You were one I could never forget.
In another world, another time,
We have done it all before,
But one . . . more

I am from lace and lavender
I am delicate but complicated
Yet intoxicating and indescribable
I contain both inexpressible anguish and unspeakable happiness
I am from the ocean and the mountains . . . more

rainbows from my window sill
lighting up
the setting
evening glow
on my kitchen floor, near the mashed pop
corn kernel,
the mango juice drip, so sweet yet
discarded
and dry in spattered blood drop.
windlessly . . . more

Ever stayed up really, really late working on something to the point of exhaustion, and you pass out for just a few minutes, and when you wake up, you've got a second wind? This was from one of those . . . more

the roof workers gone home
sally rides by in her car
blasting Groovasaurus

little Big sis
is the
of atten(center)tion
again,
today
groggy and spiting
complaints, the nurses
leaving her,
unattended,
though irreparable
and flaccid,
little Big sis slurs in demolished
ether.

slow sipping the
sea
wander the flickering
leaves through sun
beam shades
the picnic shore smile
in kodachrome tints of afternoons
as a child
big eyed the cicadas sing

Haven't slept in several nights.
Just been sitting here in my blue bedroom,
Slurping cups of cold coffee,
Chain-smoking stale cigarettes.
And thinking about Sonya.
She came to me again . . . more

Crowbars and hacksaws and bullet proof jackets
Unshaven baddies and all of their rackets . . . more

The rain falling outside
Falls to the rhythm of my tears
As the rain stains the ground outside
So do my tears stain me
They fall so freely now
I don't know why i'm crying anymore
Just that . . . more

I adopted your dog today
The one you left at the pound
The one you had for seven years
and no longer wanted around.
I adopted your dog today
Do you know he's lost weight?
Do you know he's scared . . . more

In the park
a chubby pink child
rests on a bench
in her mother's arms,
eating long strands of blond hair
in affectionate clumps,
and staring at embracing lovers
who smile back.

We strive for the secret,
Yet never quite reach it.
And the old are still the young
With grayer hair and paper skin,
While the child plays house
In Mama's clothes,
Innocent, yet knowing. . . . more
