Chocolate
Covered
Raisins
Are
What
I’ve
Got
To 
Sweeten
This
Lonely
Hour
Where
You
Are
Not.

Today
My
Car
Was
Taken 
Away
To
Cure
Mechanical
Ills,
For 
Which 
I’ll
Pay
Hefty 
Bills.
It’s 
Odd
To 
Keep
My 
Old
Car
(Twenty
Seven, 
So 
Far,)
On 
The
Go, 
I know,
But 
Hey, 
Its
A
Classic
Get
Away.
When 
They
Take
It
Off
The
Rack
And
Bring
It
Back, 
Hop 
In, 
And
I’ll 
Take
You
For 
A 
Spin.

Celebrity

He 
Pauses
By 
The 
Limo
To 
Speak
The 
Incandescent
Word,
And
Allow
His 
Greatness
To
Be
Heard,
A
Pronouncement
Of
His
Fame, 
To
The
Glory 
Of
His
Name,
Famous
For
Achievements
Hard
To 
Recall.
It’s
A
Hollow
Game,
After
All,
We
Are
Meant
To 
Stare,
While
He
Pretends
To
Care.

Creek

Ruffled
Water,
Wrinkled,
Creased,
Released
To
Flourish
From
Caverns
Deep,
And
Nourish 
The
Grain
Like
Upside
Down
Rain.

Sir John Everett Millais *Woman in White*
Invocation

Memory
Comes
In
The
Night,
Clad
All
In
White,
Bearing
Light
To
Make
Bright
The
Corners
Of
Regret,
And
All
I try
To
Forget.
Let
It
Be,
I plea,
I tried,
But
Didn’t
See.
I wait,
Accept
My
Blighted
Fate,
And
With
The
Day,
My
Errors
Fade
Away.

Infinity

Forever
Used 
To
Mean 
For
Always.
Now 
It
Means
Until
I stumble.
The
Awareness
Leaves
Me
Humble.
This 
Inked
Image
I’ve
Made
Will 
Fade,
Electronics
Will
Become
Supersonic
And
What
I’ve
Said
And
Done
And
Thought,
Those 
Places
Where
I strived
To
Be
True, 
As 
I ought,
Will
Be
Dissolved
In
Time, 
To
Brew
Someone
Else’s
Rhyme.

Oracle

Dove
In
The
Tree,
What
Do
You
See?
The
Litter
Of
Humanity?
The 
Waste,
The
Haste,
The
Heedless
Flight
Day
And
Night,
Or
How
Much
We’ve
Sinned?
With
Nothing
To
Say,
You
Fly
Away,
Fated
Like
Us,
To
Ride
The
Ceaseless
Wind.

Aloft

Up
High,
Where
The
Sky
Begins,
The
Air
Is 
Thin,
Sharp
Enough
To 
Slice
The
Clouds
And
Render
Void
The
Stray
Asteroid.
Star
Clusters
Divide,
Whirling
Moons
Are
Swept
Aside
And
Lo,
The
Galaxy
Opens
Wide,
To
Show 
The
New
Day 
Inside.

Hy-Brasil

I can
Almost
See
The
Island
Where
I could
Happily
Be,
Alone
Without
A 
Soul
To
See,
Just
The
Sun
And
Me.
I do
A
Mental
Polka
To
Imagine
Eating
Tapioca
And
Stealing
Fishes
From
The
Sea,
While
Dreaming
Of
Philosophy.
Any
Day
I’m
Going
Away,
Leaving
Behind
The
Tedious
Grind,
Any
Shining
Day,
Come
What
May.

Heart Failure

A 
Hard 
Spot
In
The
Heart
Prevents
Affection’s
Start.
Stops
The
Breathy
Sigh
As
Love
Passes
By.
Arterials
Block,
Veins
Close
In
Mute
Repose.
Though 
It
Comes
Slow,
Flesh 
Loses
Supple
Glow.
What
Illumination
Can
Reveal
This
Stagnation
To
One
Held
Dear, 
Who,
When
Called
To,
Cannot
Hear?
