I love the dog
and he loves me
I see him gnawing bone
knowing if I died
fell to the floor
a couple days not being fed
that’d be me
~ ~ ~
Cold day
long hot salt soak
skin cuts
The crow of the blessed
the cry of the dispossessed
Yesterday’s bone
today
tomorrow’s scream
~ ~ ~
You just do
you do you do you do
until you don’t
~ ~ ~
Yesterday’s bones
tomorrow’s flesh
spirit inflected
~ ~ ~
I’m yesterday’s news
today’s trash
tomorrow’s compost
Zoo parking lot
full of red light people
going places not to be alone
Night train rumble
entropy
carrying yesterday away
Sometimes
weary’s what you got
weary, worry, wondering
Once feared
being inadequate
now I’m almost adequate
Morning dogwalk
heavy rain
another two-deer day
~ ~ ~
Tomorrow never comes
today won’t leave
yesterday waits
~ ~ ~
It’s all perception —
look how the stars sparkle
on the pus tonight
~ ~ ~
Life with Wife 14
Sometime it’s low fruit
or no fruit
“Especially with politicians,” she adds
What was cheese before it died?
“Cheeses.”
What?
“Cheese is, cheese was.”
She’s looking up the recipe
for broccoli and beast
“I going to trim your beard.”
I sez no.
She sez “Yes.”
I sez no.
I gets “the look”.

Working entropy mines
walking empty line
to last station
~ ~ ~
In the dark anyway
I sit in dark
for camouflage
or am I the darkness?
