Homesick

July 10, 2016

Taking you in
my senses are attuned.
Sight, hearing, taste and smell
reacting,
when eager fingers
rip open the skin
of the ripe,
burgeoning,
orange,
tangerine

sea salt,
asphalt,
familiar spices,

Birds call...

Woman
watch the glass.
It sees thee.
Climb.
Prepare,
be
armed
and ready.

deploying strategies,
assembling,
dissembling
attempting to upend
the status

NO.
We have planted our cause far and near
employing charm
sometimes conspiring
and disarm...

It is what we know,
we can see what settled where,
after our storm
All we have is our recollection.
It is what we wondered about,

He FELT ferocity
If you did not SEE it before that day, you saw it then

Miami Thrice

July 10, 2016

Ah, the 305.
The 786.954.754.561
The heat
The beat
The re-treat
Where visitors
and ‘gators
lounge around
basking,
and former generals,
presidents and dictators,
barons
and their ladies
chill.
They’re not here to shrill
Sometimes the hunters and the hunted
do a stare-down,
four eyes beh...

No noise except boots
crushing sto...

a dance on the froth
of the milk, floating
warm and light
giving ease to the mother cow
Legs stand firm on a board, then
taken aloft by the gust
that forcibly shrugged off
it's neighbors and shot...

Raw, Crude

April 26, 2019

Raw, Crude
Should I just go down as being raw, crude
liquid black, dark, chunky, rough hewn
In my (un)knowing
I am laced with the real gold they all want
24 Carat

Should I just go with the flow
forcefully rising, fat and fully frothing
(un)knowing where it will lead me
