Such vulgar venality voices voluminous volumes verifying very vituperative vociferous vilification vouchsafing the vagabond verity of English’s vocabulary. Verily, I say.

Illusions
I hold in my hand /
the seeds of my illusions /
and the blooms of yours.

Tiger lily
No, Mr. Baker,
it is not an
invasion.
It’s a Tiger lily.
The invasion comes
a few days
later
with beer and
outdoor cooking.
That’s when
the aliens
—grill your meat
—light your fireworks
—conflagrate and celebrate
your auto-da-fe future.

Sky
The evening crow caws. /
The breeze nuzzles sunflowers. /
Clouds slid against the sky.

Anointed
Sunflowers shed. /
Golden petals fall on leaves
anointed by death.

One hand
Listen to the rain /
rustling against the leaves. /
One hand clapping.

empty of embrace.

The bonds of today /
