stranded in snow
savoring how you make me feel
this deep sadness

snow on the pines...
won't you share the burden
of my happiness?

Heroine

My poor gingham girl
home from the fringe

“you weren’t there, Auntie Em, so you’ll never understand-
I killed & killed again

evil’s dustbroom in my hands!”

She’s always been a little off
but what am I to do?

Too much time alone in her room
with books & Toto, too.

patches of fog
the things I remember
to forget

Obligato

What I hate of snow-
no full-throated birds
to stitch the light sky

no light sky, either-
just unfallen landscape

on my music stand
white page on white page
lines like telephone wires
black flocks in quarter notes

I will sing for them
until we come to a rest.

Would New Year's come without The Twilight Zone Marathon? I think not.

Chapel

Morning spread like
orange marmalade on
toasted bread, my coffee
soon cold, an offering made-
made as I make ready
ready to honor
the born and unborn
and the risen and the dead.

autumn song –
how the wind plays
fallen leaves

Iron

My mom saw us all
forever dust & wrinkles

wiped faces with a napkin
smoothed shirts with flattened
hand

sprayed me with
Lemon-Fresh Pledge as I ate
chicken by the fridge-

she would have cleaned the world till her dinner was cold...

ice cold, Mom, your dinner's ice cold.

father’s day
on dad’s shoulders
I become a bird

all I know
is the colour
of rain
falling from
a pitch black sky

morning coffee
darkened with the thought

Lines

Ripe apples that don’t fall
ocean waves which never break
forever, the sun
behind museum rope
each painted day

but one evening-
salted air & chilled wine
shoulders cloaked in the dark-
I devoured a McIntosh
in bristling, foamy Atlantic
to the dying notes of a gull.

This has always been my favorite story. Always. https://t.co/BqMOpQv31j

Mostly Yellow Paint

Some poems are
ruby slippers-

you could’ve gone home all along
but first must kill a lady
then love a metal man &
miss him most of all-

there’s just a guy behind a curtain-
he'll be a sort of help,
now wrap your finger round your pen, & click, click, click.
