Liquid language
drips from lips.
The lies we speak,
they come in sips.

Other Side
Can we find rest
for our wandering hearts,
to be satisfied
in playing our parts?
Alien Tenant
“You’re a strange creature!”
The alien said
as he dropped from the sky
to land on my head.
Silent Observer
Silent observer,
you stand with your list
and check all the things
that humans have missed.
Beautiful
Verdant greens that smell so sweet,
in summer air ‘neath cloudless heat…
Island
Set my sail upon the wind
and drift to distant shores;
So let my heart be with thee…
Smell
Banana peels and pumpkin guts,
And rotted eggs that smell like butts;
Mushy mushrooms and moldy bread,
A hairy, slimy, lettuce head.
Melted trash in a noonday sun,
Microwave tuna overdone;
Steamed spinach and expired stew,
That’s what you smell like through and through.
Highlight
Highlight the wind when I breathe,
The sun as I tilt my head,
The plants when I want to feed
And earth when I join the dead…
Little Fish Graves
I look out on blue ocean waves
And think upon little fish graves.
I think about all the slaves
On ships sailing far, far away.
I say these must be better days
As plastic floats down to the cray.
Blessedness in Politics
Black or white (or progressiveness)
but equally, a nebulous.
Conservative or liberalness
just not a mix of “middleness”,
or I shall make an emphasis
on that, your ledge of precipice.
