“Querencia”
Lost my place
Amber alert
The rope and bucket fell down the well
How can I reach down deep within me now?
That place where the all gathers
That place that feeds the essence of me
Down there amongst the darkness
I count on it
“Querencia”

“Frenzy”
What is this waking hurry?
Ripped from tender slumber
Cold water and steam
Socks blue or black?
Transit app announcing bus arrival
One minute
Shit!
Did I lock the door?
Overcrowded system
Cologne and unwashed essences
Compact anxiety
Headed to death
One delay at a time

“You Have Big Cereal Ideas”
“You Have Big Cereal Ideas”
Sometimes when I go to the store
I get big cereal ideas
My wife recognized this phenomenon
And when I first heard her say it I took offense
As I’m very sensitive about my big cereal ideas being called into question
She said, “You have big cereal ideas.”
Upon reflection, I thought that such a phrase might make a good poem
So now, when I go to the store
I remain ambitious about big cereal ideas
And I sneak an unusual selection into my cart
I pay at the register and bring it home
And when I sort the groceries
The unusual selection has a way of lingering on the table
And ultimately is discovered by my wife
Who then shakes her head
Because, she knows me better than I know my own intentions

“Someone Will Read It”
“Someone Will Read It”
Words crawling across the page
At dark speed
Which relates to: ever present
Expressive need
Subdues rage
Someone will read it…
Won’t they?

Wanton Wants
“Wanton Wants”
Underneath the surface
Resides my true intent
Kissing madly madly
Hushed proximal breath
Leaning into it
Digesting
The sense of you and I
Culminates in sins chosen
Lost in galaxies,
You call eyes
Excited eve electric
Desire for insides
Insights new arrival
Forbidden by design
High hanging fruit from your garden,
Your basket of delights
I’d trust a serpent ‘fore an Angel
If you gave me one long night
Press, yes press against me
Find my heartbeat
Drive me wild
You brought a constant deep desire
When you hit me with that smile
