Chasing A Spot In The Sun

Chasing a spot
in the Sun
Cars and Tail
The proverbial bone
or the hand
that once
fed it

Restless
Dog sleep
of
Dog years
of
Dog life

The barking up
wrong trees
Neither taken nor done
in
this mongrel mutt

Friday Light

Minutes ago

A single ray of light
ommenced on its journey
across the universe

Arriving just now
To disturb
static grey
swirling dust
in this my humble domicile

Welcome
Friday
Make yourself at home
There is beer in the fridge

I’ll be right back

Bed stand drawer
Drug paraphernalia
Lighter. Pack of

Sad remain
Aspirin. Memories

Fimbul Winter

As winter reigned
With fimbul ferocity
My thoughts fled
To the shade in the sun
from a she-dog in heat
who ran astray
& a dog that
bit the hand that fed it

Cutting cold
cobblestone
corners
amidst the rejects
and hapless victims
of human folly
I face 28 to life

Hands of my Executioner

And as the hands of my executioner
twitching in joyful anticipation
reaches for my bottle of sparks
I notice the hands on my watch
as it inches yet another inch forward
in recorded time
towards nothing in particular

courageous like a father
the coward turned his back on past
and ran

Winner

Dug in deep
verbal trenches

Two sentences
12 syllables

'You win, and I loose -
I'm walking out of your life'

Your message
betrays no feeling

Keept short and chosen
to fit whatever
mood you were in
at that
particular moment

Sore loosers
and Bad winners

Kitchen Floor

Nietche's Über
and Unter
human
rolled the dice
Took turns
playing God
and Victim

From childhood
school days
I somehow
salvaged

'Alea iacta est'

took my coffee
black. Rest of
breakfast
over-easy,
and bloody

Two Birds

Two birds
but no stone.
One dog
but no bone.
Still, I ain’t complaining.
Sitting on a rooftop
in the sun
with the bums
and a brew
not a care in the world

Lazy autumn afternoon
inside the outside of
the Rest of the World
I skinned up
lit up and let go
of the day
take a new
tomorrow

Watered Down

Watered down with bourbon
and ice
to lukewarm
acceptable feelings
Flushed down
and out
with
YOUR
birthday
and phone number
Your problems at work
The names of your
male-good-friends
and other things
I need no longer
need
like your spare toothbrush
or smiling picture
on my refrigerator
door

Declaring Our Love

Declaring our love,
we wrote our
names in the sand.
In the sunset
of a palm tree shaded
grove we lay
down
and talked about
a future of
great,
everlasting,
pure,
love.
You
have been gone
for years now.
The love has cooled
to sub zero
temperatures,
and I’m back to
