Between the fire
and the forest
lies the flame
~ ~ ~
The first to say
“What’d you think of them apples?”
Was probably the snake in Eden.
~ ~ ~
Lay back in too hot tub
set time machine to one million years pre-being
push button
pull plug
~ ~ ~
Black
before sunrise, drinking coffee
black
~ ~ ~
Shaking the fuzz
heading for buzz
of morning’s first pipe
~ ~ ~
Silent echoes head
heavy holds heart
tiptoeing through dread
collecting the pretty parts
~ ~ ~
I’m not saying Walmart’s checkout is slow
but my green bananas ripened
while I waited
~ ~ ~
Try to feed
a sick cold hungry coyote
but it bolts in fear
~ ~ ~
Night’s not darker
than inside my head
and dawn’s a long way off
~ ~ ~
Cat on lap
rat in White House
I prefer purr
~ ~ ~
There’s this and that
some of the other
whatcha gonna do?
~ ~ ~
Dogs lower their head
wait, watch
cats control
~ ~ ~
The plague wind
brings masks, hand sanitizer
fear of fellow
