New Poem: Lunchtime in the Financial District

Lunchtime in the Financial District

I am trying today

to write at a bar

it sits at the intersection

of hope and stress

or rather Sacramento & Front

with floor to ceiling stenciled windows

peeking out at the concrete high rise sweatshops.

I drown my distractions— and my thoughts

in the cacophony of the pinstriped herd

grazing on the corporate greens of

today's Salad Special—

Proem: To Dream To Write, To Write To Dream

Proem. n - a piece that was written originally with the intention of being prose, however lives more sensically as poetry and is therefore restructured as such.


To Dream To Write, To Write To Dream


She would sit at an oak desk
bleeding her life onto the resistant page
though never draining,
never losing spirit or breath
or heartbeat.
All of her ...

Limitless Mind, Limitless Possibilities

It's been a long time since I just wrote a regular journal-like blog post, shared a piece of life with you. But here I am, doing it again, a return to a glass of iced cucumber water, sipping and swooshing- ahhh. I had an experience today, something almost mind-blowing in the way that your ethereal self tramps fearless through a mind-field riddled with mines, setting each one off but only catching a grazing of ... << MORE >>

New Poem: Random Nature Thoughts

Random Nature Thoughts (a short poem)

water walks on golden air
kissed in brief and sometimes at length
by a northern brush of winds
wrapped in the arms of prickly males

New Poem: Naked in a Window

Naked in a Window

I am sitting naked
in a window
in a spa tub
jets on and whirling
bubbles and aromas around
hopeful skin
and I see the first of them
bolts of lightning long and hard
stretch across the sky
gods arthritic fingers cracking
in mysterious waggles

New Poem: The Kiwi

The Kiwi

Once ripe, fresh, sought after
to join his friends in the social splender
of a summer mixer
the aging fruit with stray and bristling whiskers
is passed over,
touched, but not enjoyed
squeezed, fondled perhaps in evaluation
yet never chosen
unbalanced discoloration threaten to permeate
leaving shades of chaotic patterns
to manipulate his pallor.

Bruised, the soft suppleness of his skin ...

New Poem: Beauty is a Verb

Beauty is a Verb

Beauty is a verb
an ever changing
state, a tense,
captured in the still frame
of a passé canvas.
It does not enjoy
the simplicity of
being noun,
defined and stagnant,
caught in one moment—
caught in a million moments,
a noun will never waiver. ...

New Poem: Middle Aged

Middle-aged

She was middle-aged,  which
meant she stared strapped
to a lab stool with safety goggles off,
the chemistry set she’d grown
so attached to, played with
for 40 years, seethed and bubbled
in an experiment all of its own.
Its potion churned
a perfect balance of ...

New Poem: Savior

“Savior”

She eventually became resigned to his routine,
the way he’d mostly keep his distance,
nostrils pinched retaliating against her obtrusive odor,
as if he was antagonized by her audacity
 in allowing her body’s toxins to putrefy and waft up to his stature,
and he’d stand just off the foot of her bed,
as if he thought she was a breeding ground
for some raging sheet-leaping leprosy,
able to infect tall ...
