Perspective.


Look in to the water
See the fishes
Breathe & fly
Like birds

Air is much denser down there.

Eloise Apple Tree.


Never makes it to her hospital. She falls instead
beside dial tones, at the foot of her bed.

Godmother smashes shovel through
pain of glass. There cries 
wild animals

at the funeral. I’m 5.

The Trapeeze Dance.

One tiny pink ballerina
spins softly silent
up on her line, pink umbrella
steadies her muted
display, as the crowd
she does not see
points aghast-

Why?

It’s all she knows
to do.

The Tinny Toasther Oven.

 
On
the table
bedside in tin
which holds her hair
pins, pens, paper,
pills & peppermints for long nights
memory keeping, sleep
inducing dream catc-
her if you can
gingerly

while still hot.

Or not.

Goodbye is Forever for the Crying Girl.


As he slips
his olive green duffel
over left shouldiers
March.

Living Thorn.


57 
pgs. long

… or stories tall… 
I truly forget, 
but know that 50+ fall upon it. 
And they grow — together; 
the stories, tears, pages and the sharp
pointed prick… whom 
snags her 

bloom-
ing petal & 
finger
tip. 

Beyond Broke.


Is trying to buy gasoline with change
in metaphor; (because there is none) waking beside ghosts

Pain where Hope once dreamt
in feathered wings now

Ash & paste: myriad shades
greying, huemorless, Mass
of growing glacial
propoortion.

Ivory Towers.


Penetrating the barrier which separates 
highest floors from all
else, is not possible. However, there

Exists. Real dangers 
Result — Derridean world view:
Infest in popular culture —

Become increasingly uncertain 
about absolutes & 
Truth.
