The sunset seduces
Every step, takes me closer
While the horizon flies.

Screen light
The hum of my laptop
Other worlds flicker to life.
On rainy days
your loneliness
stays inside.
Mountain escape
Up in the mountain
Eternity waits,
Freedom from this life.
The real Ella
I knew the real Ella M.
A face on the wall, the plaque in the hall
The great dame of corruption
A legendary center fold.
But I knew the real Ella M
Her wit quicker than a whip
And deep seas of doubt that haunted
Her iron clad pronouncements
I knew the real Ella M
Her dark eyes hiding
Our shared happiness
A great moon over an ocean

And I killed her.

Moonlit night,
Her question
Answers itself.
Instant Crush
The past’s a broken mirror
Cut yourself while you put together
an image now clearer.
I saw my memory that doesn’t die
You’re someone I used to know
Things go awry
When your near, memories flow
Why do you have to be someone I used to know?
Summer compound
Breaking into
Empty houses
And opening shutters
Late Summer winds
Visiting what had been.
Inside damp walls,
Rotten furniture and
Empty halls
Are still.
Vacation time
The heat of day at variance with
The sleepy city where I wander.
I don’t know if this is boredom
Or just a peaceful clime.
Tried of high tides but
The streams are too shallow.
Old faces are comforting
But nothing stays the same,
Emotions falter like the shadows
Of leaves under the sun and breeze.
Ennui
Boredom
Like dew on leaves.
Where’s daylight
To relieve
This burden?
Fast Travel
Everywhere I go neon lights make me numb
Travel leaves little memories
Marching on
Between every city and vitamin soul
Little memories working
In a machine
Marching on.
