Chalk Words
I touched the sink and sank
Volumes later I thought
jetzt and danach were still there
A class from thirty-five years ago
plus the yellow cloth
I did not leave
please explain this

New Post
New biz from the old shoe
wait I could have said hello
to you in that Girls Scout room
if only if you if I if
you spy! you camera spy
upon the so very shy

The Silent Machine
I could tell you a tale of bliss
and the corners around the path
just when I was looking for the mop
there was a small glitch in the universe
night peeks into the rooms here we are
again with rain all night and tomorrow
continuing that way into the next

Intimate Altana
Meanwhile somewhere near
the mountain
dwelling tease shade
little blog face
peering
at your stoop
always wanting into
this fictitious life
doncha know it
house of wonder
violins

Pink With Grey Clean
Paper petals sticking only on the sidelines
windshield rain at the DMV
forever parking lot
Can I know them
more than this
before
they are wiped away
clean
Am I in love
or is it
alluring cappuccino
not enough cinnamon
craving for more
even though
I seem to have enough

Late To The Party
So late so what else is new
so random so small the cheese
Greyhound to Medford pick up my check
three hours four one forty-five
so what else on the scene
positive thinking right across
the street from the house
not an apartment kitchen on one side
of the room and bed on the other

Creame Cleanser
Pour me another creame cleanser
show me the way to the bank
if this is a dangerous chemical
I think I am broke With no home
instead
I am on the clock
show up on time
after all

Chemical Love Letter
Without mineral or vegetable
science says this is fast
so true my love I mean Love
you are best diluted with plain water
that ancient elixir
air
please speak plainly
sixty-five you say
no problem most surfaces
see the sheen left behind
even with the sixty-four
that gunk on the light switch plate
the mysterious patch only at
a certain angle an inconvenient slant

Chemically Speaking
I listened for as long as I could
after all these were chemicals
not regular people and if I waited
too long their effects wore off
so many bubbles popping edges
fizzing away into nothing
My thoughts led me there
into their hard surface territory
what would they come up with next
after all this time five minutes
how much longer would I wait
for it all to be dry enough
to go ahead and walk on

Mountain Report
I could not tell the difference
the grotto was secure
would walk there most days
looking for the others
left so suddenly and then
on top the chapel bell waiting
the wind ringing it gentle
how could the others know
what differences it knew
all else surrounding the hills
most definitely

Altana To Grotto
I thought you
destination
mountain
built forces
erosion
quite becoming
setting you down
creating capacity
your greatness
your highness
King of my heart
of shades
how many candles
