RAIN (Remove filter)
written in the dirt
this autumn morning
winter’s aperitif
is served on the rocks
shaken and stirring
come downpour now
unleash your jotting scribe and
cast the showery runes of fables untried

My Automare
You truly are my automare
My four-wheeled bankruptcy

frost over hope,
but now it’s a leopard
with solar flare spots.
And the fog rolls on
between the divide
of how things were
and how they should be,

Trip
they promised us "no rain" but
here we are
at the aptly named Water Lane
where the trees, be-whiskered of finger,
stroke their leaf free, would be, chins

fat and drunk
so let’s begin
we passed a fox
we passed a hound
but then a somewhat grisly mound
mechanically rendered
and from that point south ...
