Go

Go, a love poem.

"You don't smile when you see me any more,"
she said laughing, that turned to a cough.
And he nodded, with tears welling up.

"You don't kiss me anymore when we meet,"
she repeated this phrase...
He looked out the window.

"You don't stay with me as long as you used to,"
she sputtered, and her tone got serious.
he thought of excuses and then cried, "I'm here now!"

"You need to leave- the sun is shining, and the day is new,"
She said these words clearly and with empathy.
He shook his head in a futile protest.

"Go," she said.
And with that, he stood up, and left the cemetery,
the grieving was over, the memories remained.

shadows, a poem.

Suburbia awakes in a fury
Cock-eyed and head strong,
and smug in its superiority,
cleaner than it should be,
dirtier than it wants to be.

The lines intersect
unaware of mortgages
and divorces, and seedy trysts
in late model sedans and love
cleaner than it should be,
dirtier than it wants to be.

And all the while,
the day in and day out
the sturm und drang
plays it self out
cleaner than it should be,
dirtier than it wants to be,
in the shadows.

Colorful Conversations

We talked and talked
and nothing came of it
a change of money
a changing hand of pills
the deal went down,
right outside a Duane Read,
and we laughed at the honesty.

A jester's wit,
a soul coffin,
a fat passenger in a dirty van,
stares the face of
America in the eye,
and sticks a needle in
deeper and deeper.
