The Aging Process

So cold
in its openness—

in its promises

4/14 poem Cartography Back in the days, I worked mostly on my geography— Sounds of wine glasses clinking, maybe a breeze from wind through trees; scant description from little events as life continued to widen: semester grades were posted, a dissertation was written then torn up; there were hangover...

Another April 13 in Minnesota

After the sun melts,
I meet your featured hands—

a finger touches me,
gazes calm us.

4/12 poem

When Night Comes

stars swarm, collide
and I stand on my deck—

I do not enter the grass,
my yard full of shards.

4/11 poem

Dropping the First Shoe

Don't worry,
she says, almost
in-confidence,

I'll be back
before you realize
I'm really gone

4/10 poem

Vagabonds

We attempt to heal
our children like some kind

pushing them like leaves
into creek water, and watch
as they float away.

4/9 poem

Barometric Pressure

Barely broken, this April
small town sleeps
among awakening grass.

Coming snow will make little noise,
much like those rare moments
in the middle of a quiet life.

Re: National Poetry Month Celebration 2019 - Post Poems Here!

4/8 poem the Modern Narcissist It’s worse than meth but no one talks about it— uncomfortable, you know, especially when you’re a big shot, hot potato with twelve hundred Friends. Just so you know, I never expect to hear from anyone, who wants expectations, anyway— hoping but not believing, not belie...

4/6 poem

Late Again, Dammit

Only the curious
or the damaged

wait for the short
pleasures of love
