I am a work in progress
Like a statue still inside its stone
Chiseled, from the inside out
Tap tap tapped into
becoming […]
the mama bird flies around
gathering food
and feeds it to her babies
from her own mouth to theirs
then perches above them […]
Needed nothing till
The moment I first saw you
From a rock to a
Rocking chair painted […]
When Mom worked nights Dad would cook
Pasta Aglio’olio
Dripping in Italian olive oil
The garlic slightly browned, crackling, still sizzling […]
September begins with
Indian Summer heat
fiercely making up for lost days
for rain and clouds
cramming
and on its best behaviour
praying to stave off what is […]
“All rivers flow into the sea
but the sea is not yet full.”
And I’m surrounded by blue-eyed gentry
and blue-labeled beer
and an immense blue sky […]
Walking along, all alone
My head faced down, blocking out the passers-by
Who threaten to interrupt my thoughts
Or threaten to interpret them
And I see it, a penny on the ground […]

Middle-aged man
scowling on the subway
bitterness in his eyes
more dense as the years go by
his acoustic guitar
propped against a corner wall […]
Fragile
guilt-ridden
consequentially unbalanced
Swallowing the pits of your
indecencies
Eternally loyal […]
