that little boy
born to a dirtbag
who was born to a dirtbag
who was once a little boy
who did not ask to be born…

it is unexpectedly cold
as we jump naked
under the covers.
shivering toward each other
we giggle,

knowing we will soon
be cozy.

mice dreams

November 20, 2006

the mouse curls up
in her hidden nest
of paper and twine.

she dreams of your breath
while you lay traps near
her perfect droppings.

you lie in your bed
of cloth and stolen feathers
to dream of sudden death.

my children’s hands
will pass me along through time
as I did to them

like a flag snapping high and proud

who oversees the lines
and says – yes! you can speak for me

 

longevity

November 7, 2006

it does not matter
how long I live
as long as I generate peace

 

let the gods throw chairs
at each other

claiming truth
as property

shattering bones
snapping their names

while Buddha sits peacefully
under the table

how to pay for Dom Perignon

before you place
money in hand –
blow off the dead
like dust

bandura’s box

you do as eye do
see what eye see:

one school shooting
creates another…

one head stomp
will stomp again…
