get off the pot

reveal your struggle
you’re not alone
go ahead, try it
bring it to the dinner table
adorned with warm pumpkin pie and ice cream

unhinged tears flowing
11:11 p.m.
fridge noisy
much commotion
hysterical laughs from next-door neighbor’s party
your dreams
everyone’s dreams
night

digging into it all
a great exchange
bouquet of all purpose flowers
complete with brilliant red bow

you don’t miss a word
you miss many
giving me a sweet new take on things

drama drama drama
personal disaster without end
find yourself, man
you’re better than this
you will love again

Crazy Rain, Blurred Vision, New Affection

Speak cheerfully,
Like your world’s not about to crumble
Grab that shy umbrella
Open it aggressively
Some days, weep

Angel with nervy wings speeds by
Reminds me to proceed with caution
I wake up, confident…

Like the morning’s something special
Because it is
And emotion is reckless art

Writing…
Out of one’s mind
And into someone else’s

Small ripples in a vast ocean
Flashy clouds presiding

left me with a warm feeling of peace

and there they were

two old friends in the shopping mall, warmly smiling

we hugged

talked about old times

like how Neals used to

bring his trumpet to the

annual holiday sing-a-longs at the day care centre

play alongside of me

me on the piano

Patsy singing harmonies like an angel

we celebrated

Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa and Ramadan

all in the same celebration

the sounds of children’s and staff’s voices

singing gleefully, singing respectfully

like one big happy family

we were one big happy family

such beautiful memories

left me with a warm feeling of peace
