I used to work
with a shop 'til you drop
kind of woman;
she went crazy at Christmas,
spent hundreds of dollars
just on her mom,
and her kids
must have everything.
The whole year through
she floated around
from office to office
singing carols
like a jolly Mrs. Santa
eyes glistening
as if she'd just bought something
and hid it away
for Christmas.

Restless
fine hair tossed with the blue-cased pillow
crazy scenes twisted my dreams
sweat drenched my neck
designer sheets crumpled every angle
my body turned, a rocking barrel
alarm clock labored through the night
phone rings too early this morning
tired eyes peep at dawn
crazy scenes twisted my dreams
sweat drenched my neck
designer sheets crumpled every angle
my body turned, a rocking barrel
alarm clock labored through the night
phone rings too early this morning
tired eyes peep at dawn
Naked and Ugly (Art Student Days)
shock factor
experimental
naked female mannequin
milky white blushy cheeks
strawberry jam
spread on its body
One arm up
fingers styled--
so-o-o-o-o-o conventional
gooey and ugly
my classmate
calls it art
insanity
get it out of here
kick it drag it
out of the room
throw it in the trash
give me a still life
landscape portrait
paint splashes
child-like etchings
anything
except that mannequin
experimental

out of the room

Daybreak
The wind whistled at the moon
raked every star like leaves
the rain poured a million tears
stretched a river in flowing veins
thunder cut the clouds in two
black night closed a torn sky
the sun spoke daybreak
trees catch the afternoon
raked every star like leaves
the rain poured a million tears
stretched a river in flowing veins
thunder cut the clouds in two
black night closed a torn sky
the sun spoke daybreak
