Ruled By Mars
Assertive aspirations
Rattle cages to
Impart liberation,
Existential ponderings and
Sustainable harmony through respect

They brewed-up vaccines morose
pledging to self-diagnose
disease most scary
hoping to bury
pathos with each costly dose.

Bubba likes his fill of pie
when he courts the public eye.
If not for one dress
not one little mess
would mar his effortless lie.

Thieves held up the bank to ransom
a tidy profit most handsome.
With no cash inside
they had to decide
to make the people advance some.

Hauled
in that
shopping
cart,
tearing the
pavement
with riotous
laughter
even after
those wheels
caught that
crack
sending you
sprawled into
the pickled
night.

Sterility
Please don’t whisper Cupid’s brutal name
Salvation’s ghost can’t quell my shame
My heart pushes only blood
Through unproductive mud
Waste festers inside
No trace of pride
Pulses though
Without
You

We raise our glasses while waving the black flag
to friends sailing through the mid-century drag.
When embracing Kathy and Ginny
we will concede to know the skinny
since passions rise steady while body parts sag.

Stargirl Seven
Last night, I stole a glance of you streaking the zenith
in a moment of tranquil alarm, liberated from the
burden of grim isolation and despair. My
eyes lit in wonderment as you burst
free of your skin to finally share
one brilliant supernova with
this most woeful mortal
until spectral dust
danced away
glittering.

Once Kinetic
I spy
a comfortable
chair at the sympathy
pantry while huddled at
the blast door near the entrance.
All
Hallows
Eve beckons
like a wild rush of
frigid, Canadian air,
rendering all clothing
mute in utter repentance.
My
mask
shall rule
from the inside
since all grotesque
notions begin their lurch

Bedside
I twist with each terrible moan
escaping your lips in distress
while you lie prone, never alone,
to guess or stress on progress
of that mass invading you
sparked by ecology's change
to accrue tissues untrue
deranged limp in the exchange
until pulsing force vacates
through the tears welling inside
as their chemicals placate
to guide you outside doe-eyed
with papery sympathy
numbing such churning decay
to quake me with empathy
this day as you drift away.
