belief in the perhaps
what if there is something else.

way down the runway
we go
undercover
a desert every mile
you mark me with your smile
pulling that ring onto another
flattop highway
and this  backseat spring meant for no other.

yawns
ZOO May 2017
on the radio, they said yawns were contagious
athletes, performers all yawn just before.
it raises the awareness and the heart rate.

they said pack animals -lions, dogs, your nieces or nephews
they trust you if you do... and then, they do it back.
it prepares us for the hunt.

I tried with someone at work, but
they did  not kindly yawn back;
will I stop believing in the radio,
or that I really don't like co-workers.

ZOO May 2017
in thy loneliness
my  red antler hotel
my bony legs, a velvet wonder
just a ring and a cape
and a rood of trees stalking me
taking their turn into the milky book
and the lucky ones that did escape me
on her red carpet ashes layer with
everyone else
fear of loneliness

the young shun me
I think of movies might be showing on cable
a day later, they appear,
I know it is not me but I point
to  the  body snatchers
the 7th sign
Signs
no matter how futile my order in a long line
at Chipotle
and the cooks eating  my order
creates caos in me.

anxious feeling
ZOO May 2017
I'm hung over, I didn't have a bed to my name
I could not sleep in the slumped over state
without a chance that my degree can make me
my modern room takes 2/3's of my wage
I will sell myself for little more than
a cheap handshake can make.

ZOO May 2017
reach in teacher, a wake behind the lashes
    you're liking struggles
to knock those who cling to the rocks, until asked,
to be torn from the daylight
    you are becoming, like an outsider
and you light the candle as a part of me
or let them parish.

I am to grow down to your garden, and talk to the flowers
and I pretend I was succulent and we grow back but never tired.

cut me into three pieces
you work the land by quarters
watching me,
perhaps you whose arms felt like lead.
I gave you rotten things when I grew up
but terribly feeling that I was being laughed at.

So below, I sew with these branches to you
grow back and intertwine. We are the behaviors of the briars
and we are familiar.

will you agree or disagree:
that by texting- the dry humps of email communication
     I don't answer, my phone
because I am on the token
can't get my feelings down

texts- are the dung beetles of emails
rewriting to many times is disturbing?

The Great North Appointment
ZOO Apr 2017
Come poet laureate,
   define where is a hill we must fly to;
come between the fresh clear stream- song of me
and the grey downy matter no longer seen;
   call where are the cotton woods
that you lend its own silk too-

  the times did look you down
when we gathered in a great northern mass
and we dialed back the ways to heaven
and little by little died in the same way
within the lake full of our own feathers.

Come Laureate where up on the *hilt of gander lays.

embarrassed, holding fingers to head as in horns you kicked US
we are free from each others louses America

We can survive on such rations

cut me  - like the folded belt  
tip of the sword, edge of the blade, the crack - of my ***
great effort and strain, to tighten up,

but no longer felt the grain
my Father made you two mean
and Mother slapped the boy out of me.

cats never grow old
ZOO Apr 2017
there is someone inside you
that makes me cry when you leave
like a cat in the house who cannot help
nor does it like me
nor does it -the oscillating fan
I also hide from the cold blow
until even my sackcloth doesn't want me
but you will endure the watch- until you turn away
from the post you held from inside my bedroom door.

my youth fades away.

I returned to you
where I escaped with few scratches
and the family cross, found words
i felt more bled and with you cleared the way.

it feels more like home every time i come here
the duck on the gravel river bed
shaking off its water

silt has retired the old place
higher every time I open the cabin
I didn't forget to bring the beers
how many miles can compare
to the connection this nature
a creek
a sanctuary
far from wild
just wild
as little kids ever could
just stagger into the woods.
