Who knew?

Who knew the candor
The rhythm and banter
The call and the song
Silent or trumpeted

Who knew the solace
The wars that bear fruit
The grace of one part
And scents so apart.

Who knew how
It came and now
How its gone.

Eyes

New england winter
In smoke

A girl he knew
In song

Indian summers
In silk

His first date
In sea salt

Remembrance is scent, sound, touch and taste.

Sight among the five
As prose, speaks loud
And says nothing.

After

After her
He found their song,
Her flaws
And their charm.

Blackberry Amnesia

The repetition of emails for fear that you didn't send them from you blackberry.

Holy Land

Let's each of us
Who has no holy home
To fight for with words,
Swords, and dollars

Thank the Gods of
Those who do, for not
Hanging that noose
On us.

I walk to the train again
Read, watch, prepare again
Work, talk, lunch again,
Ride home again to untouched
Sheets that smell only of me
Alone again I'm whole again
Away, away, away.

It comes back
Hope and kindle and flame
Grows it grows and grows and grows it grows
I to smoke and burns and pain
To bank and games and world outside
Again, again, again.

To speed again
To forgetful fits and starts
And midnight calls
To talk and talk and talk
Time lost again.

Remembrance

Remembrance as lemonade
Has different flavors
When squeezed in different palms.

Girl 2

Her blemishes
Prevent summary
A thousand
Nights with her
Another.

Words

Words from anger
Sound sweeter sung
Than from grace.

Tramp

That tramp
A wall with words
Like teeth

That bite
That bleed
But do not stain

Her victim's
Gaze.

Girl

Innocence is the
Most alluring demon,
With ignorance so
Close behind.

Oxygen and sulfur
Can fill a vacuum
Just the same.

Its the face of kindness
After suffering that
I admire. A smile
while bleeding.
