This morning, I popped into Kroger. As I get close to the door; I notice employees are just standing there watching …. something. It’s one of those moments; you have those thoughts, do I have dog poop on my pants? Leaves and twigs in my hair? What? They draw my attention to a man inContinue reading “Morning Moments”

I won’t. You want.
I want to beat you about the face and eyes. But, I won’t. I want to pound you until my arms ache. But, I won’t. That greasy spot on the pavement; that was you. But, I won’t. I want you to feel and know the pain you cause. But, you won’t. You are so wrappedContinue reading “I won’t. You want.”
True
“To thine own self to true.” How, when you’re not sure who you are?” “To thine own self to true.” How, when the world fights against you? “To thine own self to true.” And the world will crucify you. Taken from ‘The Reconstruction of Me’. A collection of poems I started in the early 2,000’s.Continue reading “True”
Broken Hearted
Have you ever had a heart broken? That pain is ours to process individually. Brute force ripped my heart out , clogged danced on it in the mud, then gave back. My baptism was fresh.

It will play you.“ 2002 – Taken from ‘The Reconstruction of Me’. A collection of poems IContinue reading “We are the stage…”
Were you always there?
Thank you
Where did you leave me?
Front door. Carport. Dock. Receiver. Office. Reception. Inside delivery. Front desk. Will I be found? Where did you leave me? Is it cold? Wet? Dark? Will a pleasant voice greet me? Will soft hands hold me? Will someone steal me? Was I lost? Thrown in a ditch? Lost overboard? Slipped between the seats? Wrong placeContinue reading “Where did you leave me?”
10
Most of the time; I have to peel, back the layers to discover if they are real. Memories of times long past. That were not a blast. For a fact I knew; at 10, my little world changed. From childhood, I became estranged. At 10, work was introduced. Not for “the man”, as it were.Continue reading “10”
