October 2022 Collage Poem: Unknown Lives

Café conflict, Halloween Haikus

From Dracula’s steps

I am on the 4th bench on the right

 

I am talking to you, to the love

And to the new face

And to my own death

 

A bat out of hell flew over

The 100 steps.

A fairy tale, but fairy tales

Are grim

 

Coldness begins to bite by

Witches Delight

The moon is desserted

 

White horse gallops into infinit...

October 2021 Collage Poem: This Side of Heaven

October Collage Poem: Sacrifice

People die for what they say - a sacrifice

I would say.

 

Promises unfulfilled in darkrooms

 

my pen massages,

carefully and lovingly

the waiting page.

 

She is everywoman: sacrifice, laughter, death.

 

U kip I kip we all kip

 

running saved her life

she is all giving

 

the painting of the dog, howling

 

she is all-giving, all-taking, all-lov...
