Athena
"Out of the Phalanx,"
while Sacred Athens burned Red;
"You are on your Moon."
The People Sobbing,
yet somehow, She was "Mooning;"
"Omertá, Cowards."
The Spartans all Reeled,
as Athena Broke their Ranks;
as She Slashed and Killed.
She Bled them Weeping,
She Bled the Acropolis;
"Gods, what have we done."
The Hoplités Wept,
then the Cowards r...

Truth
Stomach is empty
Weight falling like fat raindrops.

Harm Reduction
I don't understand
The way my body reacts
Or how it doesn't.

The sound of your voice
Burned into my memories
Please let me forget

You
Ears always ringing.
Anger built inside my chest.
Who have I become?

A Cornucopia Of Haikus
PHOBOPHOBIA
It's fear of the flood
of fear that flows through me which
I fear most, by far.
MORE TELLTALE SIGNS
We say we're not apes
and yet it's the human race
which shat where it ate.
THE ULTIMATE DRUG
Yes, I'm an addict -
the withdrawals will kill me
if I don't eat food.
WIE!*
Nothing good can come
of our obsession with this:

Haiku written on my walk to work in the Spring
Magnolias in Spring
A blossom falls to my hair
A fragrant pink crown.

Early morning haiku
Dawn opens its eyes
Illuminating darkness
Farewell, soft, black veil.

Not my soulmate
You’re not my soulmate
You’re not going to save me
But just take my hand.
You’re not my soulmate
Show me your imperfections
And I’ll show you mine.
You’re not my soulmate
My soul longs to grow with yours
Different, side by side.
You’re not my soulmate
But carry me into bed
Set me down softly.
You’re not my soulmate
But gaze deep into my eyes
Swim into the light.
You...

Whispering Winds
Sent my heart away
Carried away on whispering winds
To a lonesome land

Fat stone Buddhas sit
In opulent gold temples
While priests beg for food.

I’m grumpy: my boy
says I’m menopausal;
I think he’s the causal.
