Writing
With therefore the death of mine only true love,
with self in perpetual remorse and everlasting retreat,
deem in the Passover of these writing things
(I once did fondly and well … )
do no longer involve me.
Prayers defiant of fare tidings.
An imperative to fate, that, maybe, because I lived,
others shall survive
their troubled years.
Immediately an alarm rings –
in backlash of attempting to save.
I step up to the fall; I stand in line to sit …
to be couched over …
time and space bending to make the worst happen.
It’s a slap, slap on both cheeks
in acquiescence of the first hurt and sure second affront –
to ever request of the Lord twice over –
though I speak almost with hands over face,
a hunched back flying low over the weather.
Except,
I cannot say where the harm is …
that I should deserve
such divine repercussions.
Turn around, Job,
to see who’s slapping, tapping,
haplessly dining on your bones.
Heel to your protector, savior, abuser;
other than to others – begging thus to be overlooked,
since none minister to your once fine health,
now with station, property, and children gone.
Thanksgiving
To see in me no more
the romantic lover’s broken heart –
giving such a hurt thankfully
like a stone from its kidney core …
may all who see me now
pain-free all so drained,
somewhat condensed,
and sorely partitioned.

PleaseS
The Lord to bE
More than presenT
Generous – to curse mY
Little sleep with elementaL
Hurts and my day-wonderingS
With poisoned mail. Once the shoT
Is recovered and the skin near healeD
It pleases the Lord for to pick clean thE
Scabs creating ever more scar tissue;nexT
Probe the wounded regions with scalpel finE
And sharp for symptoms of new feeling. OncE
The mind has set course in celebration of beautY
To boldly trim life’s green tree fresh with crystallinE
Shine, it pleases the Lord for to play merry Santa agaiN
disrobed … stealing the
Christmas spirit from
my baby-Jesus heart.
