Poetry

"...he hears someone turn on a car alarm system..."

"...like life, a dream or a flashback..."

"...burnt whispers that cajole..."

"...it would be reasonable to consult a metallic wristwatch..."

"...reviewing the joys and the sorrows..."

"...shouldn't we have stayed an hour more..."

"...a simple smile and an invitation to the person behind the mask..."

"...The pitch is thick with failed loves..."

"...The rush was a ruse, a push to keep you dazed..."

"...In dungeons of a darkish desperation..."

"...This will occur on some known date And nothing more than a cosmic note..."

"...a long sip of whisky brings home regrets..."

"...She swallows bitter in her coffee that he never could taste..."

"...the heat in the kitchen became too hot to handle and everyone ceased and desisted..."

"...Dogs, Atom's kitten and the World speaks to me of love..."

"...knitted trains of intricate boldface patterns..."

"...You only had to prove you were insane..."

"...No longer a dishwasher at the House of Pancakes..."

"...His beloved has been crumbled like fear tattooed in the folded layers of an ageing earth..."

"...How many more ruptured landscapes..."

"...Substantial in every way..."

"...The lady-moms, flowery, they too walk smiling..."

A bit farther West than was good for him...

"...beads of tears With the droplets of rain..."

"...enveloped within the twilight's dark cloak..."

"...And laid it all down..."

"...giving succor...in summers and rains..."

"...Your softball game's over and you're visiting your mother..."

"...And if someone was foolish enough to pay me..."

"...Trees are candles..."
