Choices

Snack #2...

Beneath ivory exterior

She knows she's still there

Lies spill from the mirror

In a petulant stare


In youth’s out-stretched verdure

It is easy to dance

Earth’s ballroom a meadow

Of infinite chance


She hears the austerity

Of fall ‘neath her feet

The fruit of maturity

Is bittersweet


Girl becomes woman

At least in her skin

Will she be the dancer

Or grief’s mannequin?

A Question of 'Impotence...'

The stiffness of your moves, my dear

Compels me to inquire

Have you lost your agility

Or simply the desire?

Get-away




It’s  like reading poetry,
 presumptuous feeling
 I drift surreal
on the arms of the autumn wind
with nothing to restrain my mind
relying fully
on a few gaudy synthetic bubbles
and poetry
to carry me over
a world of dwarfed troubles,
a canopy of roof-tops
of pasture and sea
sprawled in a patch-work quilt
far, far beneath me

It’s so quiet here….

Mo-o-o-o-m!
Where’s my hat?
Jolt!
Bump!
Reality!
