Dogs strolling along the snow
Which blankets the roads, disturbed
By tire tracks and paw prints;
My hand #affectionately in yours since
We had our love ever inferred -
Those days that we were low.

I walk in the garden at dusk
To see what the light plays at
With the #violets and the roses:
These days we aren’t getting frosts
And while that should worry me, a cat
Calls my attention- a mouse’s husk.

He was #willfull and youthful
Then age came along rather dull;
A sharp edge meets Father Time
Who knows all of the rhymes.
Sitting on a throne of melted clocks he checked his pocket watch as time comes for all, even he.

Fake Beer
Fake Beer” is a sensory, slightly wickedly funny meditation on craving and restraint: the speaker’s lifelong love of beer collides with the knowledge that alcohol isn’t good for them.

In the masses of the insatiated.

I wrote a book!
A dark, lyrical noir about grief, predators, and the stories we tell to survive.
A weary investigator.
A haunted vampire.
A city that keeps applauding the wrong monsters.
Some crimes never stay buried.
Some ghosts want justice.

I hear you from the empty seat
With the cries from the empty crib,
And absent my heart in the street
I find that to myself I ever fib:
Losing the shape of your eyes as they fade into the river of memories.
