Double helix
Defines our lives ‘specially
When we’re guilty

The white of the sky
Is like milky coffee
And not as sweet

Other worlds exist
Beyond our drab streets
You can go there now

The catch
In her cadence
Stops me dead

That palpable feeling
Of sunshine
Reigning over me

These days I prefer
A feast for my eyes rather
One for my belly

Just when she thinks
She’s inured to love
It happens again

Idyllic mornings
Snow on the trees
Not on the ground

She was effusive
About him until
The control began

I can’t be certain
But sometimes I feel
God’s smile on me

I ask myself
Is it calm I seek or
The storm-tossed ocean?

Magic words
The tumor is benign so…
Have some cheese

Alacrity
Not the first word I think of
Post Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. Enjoy those triumphs while you can :)

I wait for the train
Nervous, bored, tired
But it never comes
To take me back
To the days I let slip by

The train late
The rain on time
My umbrella lost
I’m wet
November 26, 2024 at 1:01 PM
A zephyr comes in
From God knows where bringing me
A new point of view
November 25, 2024 at 2:00 PM
The horizon beckons
But I find it
Kind of annoying

She harbors
No ill will to past lovers
Unless she sees you

Every ‘60s song
Is a Journey back to my youth
A Time Machine
