Broken
Broken tree shades /
broken lives laid in graves, their /
names in stone and wind.

Oh, my Ditty do /
Unincorporated you /
Passing right on through.

Welcome to your home.

First draft
“Guess what?”
“Chicken butt.”
He fell over into the rut.
“How high?”
“A baby’s cry?”
He gave me the quizzical eye.
“Knock. Knock.”
“You’re a smelly old sock.”
He looked at me like my head’s down the block.
“Bye bye.”
“Here’s mud in your eye.”
He shook his head and tried to fly.

Hanging around
Flowing with the creek /
Gathering along the banks /
The trash never ends.

Bee at peace
Rest in my window. /
Recumbent under glass. /
Cryptic bee at peace.

Voodoo
Scent of rancid sex. /
Phallic in the hot morning. /
Lily you Voodoo.

Rings
Onion rings. /
Saturn’s rings. /
Take a bite or two. /
Ice cream cone /
Hanging all alone /
Up there in the blue. /
It’s called Freezo /
But what do we know, /
Except the old is new. /
Stand in line /
Like stars aligned /
Order from the menu.
Pick a treat /
Order complete /
Get some ketchup, too. /
Food in a bag /
Heavy it may sag, /
Until you eat it through.

Decay
Decay touches all /
Arrives with kind indifference /
Grips with gray delight.
