In a pickle
Dangle from your tree. /
Deck your halls with sour pickles. /
Fa-la-la-pucker.

Their eyes
Eyes pointed skyward /
Simulacra of wildlife /
Their souls breathing clouds.

Bone Spur Special
It’s the Bone Spur Special
Bring your Fred and Ethel
‘cause there’s nothing more respectful
Than a stolen holiday.
He’ll keep things rolling
As he steals what’s showing
To make a time worth ignoring
This 4th of July holiday.
It’s the nation’s birthday
But he has to take it away.
Nobody can have a holiday
”Uuger” than his own.
It’s the Bone Spur Special
Bring your Fred and Ethel
‘cause there’s nothing more respectful
Than a stolen holiday.
He takes money away
To build a wall and to play
‘cause he saw it Bastille Day
And wants a military show.
Commander Bone Spur says,
I’m only honoring the dead
Except for the one I dread
That Captain John McCain.
It’s the Bone Spur Special
Come on Fred and Ethel
Don’t let the rain dent your mettle
On this stolen holiday.
Veterans could use a hand
So could the poor of the land
Instead they get something grand
To soothe B.S.’s ego pains.
Make America Great Again,
Evict Bone Spur and his sins,
Fake news, and lying spins.
Then it will be a holiday.
It’s the Bone Spur Special
Children suffer behind metal
It’s concentration camp kettle
On this stolen holiday.

Reflection
Do we fret and strut /
Our hour upon the stage then /
Leave unreflected?

Vacation (2019)
Summer clouds to sky /
Sand to beach, water to sea /
Embrace your beauty.

Tall tale
The gravedigger says, /
As his needling wife’s unearthed, /
“It’s all a big yarn.”

Demon
Demon at my feet /
Rests in peanut butter /
Anticipation.

Looking
Looking backward /
No one remembers the rain /
Only the hammers.

Cancer
Cancer is Winter: /
Hard on the outer shell /
Opens inner seeds.

New Year’s Eve 2019
Tomorrow somewhere /
a New Year has begun. Here /
the old treatments linger.
