What we're good at

Words weren't always
meant to hurt this much
but men were always good at making
weapons
out of anything.

adorning our shared garden

adorning our shared garden

spreading goodwill
to deflate the hate

joined in the fight
with poetry

a few words scattered
seeds of beauty

seeds of unity
adorning our shared garden

truth stands

truth stands

stripped of delusion
stark truth is painfully freeing
or painfully revealing
but truth stands all the same

MY FAULT

Loving you

was not my fault –

telling you was.

HELP

each letter

is silent

Old Streets

Old Streets

The world’s a lot less kind
than I thought it’d be.
But I‘m still here -
broken, tired,
with a grin on my face
and a smoke in my hand.

party

party

the
smell
of the
barbecue grill
taunts
my hunger pains
I walk on by
uninvited
with no place
to
go.

Becoz

There once was a munchkin from Oz
Named Phineas Entwhistle Boz:
The Lollipop Guild
Had Phineas killed:
Their reason, they said, was becoz.
