caught by the summer
lost in a Monet painting
a honey-laced voice
propped up on a numb elbow
a delightful happenstance

A Nobody
They never noticed such a forgettable person, who always seemed to be hidden in plain sight.
One news outlet said, “A radical and a seasoned deviant”.
With each step, a nobody corrupted the radicals and launched a coup.
A Savant
To be a savant
a cool ring to the title
To be so brilliant,
yet shit at mathematics
Why must it be poetry?
Grumpy Buttons
Intricate buttons
skirmish with the little loops
Haphazard dressing
Angry energy rising
Ripping and throwing buttons
Your Light
the light from within
slowly cloaked by the darkness
yet the light remains
droplets of coffee
mixing with a dark desire
to be at the top
the light flickers low
slowly, the candle burns low
darkness is coming
a broken pump heel
filth from the competition
in the next office
light re-emerging
candle finds a way to burn
you walk your own path
the weight of being tired
washing great oceans over me
moving within the waves
sinking into the depths
an unconscious state of calmness
the weight from my shoulders
Rook
chatting with a rook
a collection of sorrows
watching every move
Elegance
an expression of elegance
the dinner party of the decade
no riff-raff or new money
the party required no invitations
assorted cummerbunds
adorn the figures of the ladies
frocks and opera pumps
caress the muscles of the men
War Gluttony
the imagining
of a war through the prism of
the old movie screen
they watch, and the terror comes
the sickness of gluttony
Kitty Distraction
two by the river
a hero ready to fight
something creeps closer
distracted by the pussy
the hero’s hamartia
