Thursday

a selection of short verse and such...

Another's resemblance to ourselves
graphite & ink on laid envelope


Spoonfuls of saccharin dreams
Create pulsing headaches
And bile.

-----


The poet says lilacs are aromatic bushes of love. Bullshit.

-----

I don’t see you as my lover
But sometimes find you as more than contrite
At inappropriate times
Fix me a cheese sandwich.

-----

Peanuts, lightly salted
Now with fifty percent less sodium
Than a weathered crab man.

-----

I can make snakes out of clay
But not apologies out of mistakes
So, let me roll out this lump for you
Nice and long
A work of years if not minutes.

la fleur de la fleur
computer manipulated scratchboard


our flower petal fell
today
and perfect as it was
i laughed
and went on with my egg
bereft
