What careless kiss was this
that stole my heart from me?
What whispered words were these
that made me glad of the theft?
What poison was used to lace it
before . . .

You send the waves
And watch my ship
Crash upon the rocky shore
Broken open
Upon the rocks
This ship sails no more

It is always foggy here
in the morning and at night.
Sometimes, until close to noon.
It is always foggy here
when standing at this bus stop
waiting for the big yellow bus.
It is always foggy . . .

Snow stretches out
over the landscape.
Angel shapes mark
a Saturday afternoon
well spent.

Sorry, Cinderella
It was all a pack of lies
You are just the prince's plaything
He will never take you home
You'll never be his Mrs.
He will never . . .

A boy is just a boy
unless his skin is dark.
Then, you must specify,
clarify, so as to be clear.
A doctor is just a doctor
unless that doctor is a woman.
Then, she is a woman doctor.
A religion . . .

Like a whisper on the wind,
times passed into time's past.
Freshly baked pie at the table.
Scene flickers and fades into next.
Board game in the living room
with one of the cousins.
Wind . . .

Gold touching gold as last rays gleam
Touching the mind like a sweet dream
As a slice of the world slips onward
Toward the dimming of the light
Fading to night, fading . . .

The little ghosts and ghouls are skipping
their costumed ways down your street.
Soon, they’ll be ringing your doorbell
and singing a chorus of “trick or treat.” . . .

Spinning words like webs
woven by spiders, catching
the curious and the careless alike.
Spinning words like webs,
gossamer silkiness all but invisible . . .

A resolution for this new year.
It is what she vows, eyeing
the number on the scale.
He watches her from the doorway.
She is unaware, and he is wary.
He knows that there will be another
resolution . . .

It’s hard being oppressed
Suppressed, repressed, regressed
Oh, wait… Regress supposes progress
But I digress
Poor man, so depressed

I still look for you
as I walk along this
corridor. Bearing
books to instruct
for the living and
for the passed.
The clock strikes

It is too hot to sleep
I think of you and want to weep
I toss, and I turn
And, still, I yearn
And, still, I burn....

Running, running
before he realizes.
The baby cries.
Heir to the evil,
in a blue blanket.
Door locked.
Water running.
Harry knows.
His harsh voice
breaks through
the locked door.
Up . . .

She poses in the doorway
as the shiny SUV glides by.
She purses her lips in that way
she's seen the big girls do.
The SUV continues on by.
They are going somewhere
else, leaving her here. . . .

I'm just talking to myself
You're not really listening
I'm just shouting to myself
You're not really caring
I'm just screaming to myself
In this soundproof booth
You've . . .

She keeps vigil
through this long night.
The halls are quiet.
Nurses move in a hush.
She keeps vigil
through this long night.
The journey is
almost near its end.
She keeps vigil

You say I go left,
so I go left.
Then, you ask why.
I turn back to go right,
just as you say.
Then, you repeat go left.
But I went left,
and you wanted right
So, I went right,
but you wanted . . .
