Untitled for Ariel & Jack
Oh, how the light
Always manages
To see through
The dark.
Flirting with Death
It’s much easier to lie
in the afternoon light,
steady’s the humming
bird that takes flight.
Oh whispering wind
forgive me tonight,
how flirting with death
has been a delight.
Our Current Social Dilemma
We went from public displays of affection
Straight to public displays of everything
Now leaving nothing to the imagination
Embracing it all, then apologizing for it after.
It’s like some convoluted social stream of consciousness
That forms a figure eight of disingenuous pandering

Like change, its value null, when in reality it’s all just
As sad and dull as high school sex.

Like an old-timey suit
Is just that.
Poetry for the waste-bin,
Ready for the Goodwill.

Wind Chimes float—
With effortless ease—
It’s something we—
Could never quite be—
Two souls swirling
In the restless ear of want.
