Icarus
Icarus, soaring /
between the sunflower and /
the sun, hoping.

Momentarily
Red among the green, /
the cardinal grips a limb — /
momentarily.

A British sentry cuts a lonely picture as he stands at his post at sunrise in France, March 1915.
Battlefield
Battlefield sentry, /
fearing with the sunrise that /
fog and hope will lift.

Author, dear author, /
I relent, I repent, I plead: /
“Give me one more chance!”

One tries
One lies and one stands, /
cat in darkness, dog in light. /
Wonder and return.

Grasp
Palm to the blue sky, /
I grasp the day as clouds sail /
across my fingers.

My bowels had been in a slump.
Now, I so needed to take a dump.
I ran to the nearest men’s room
Only to face dread and certain doom.
A sign I saw posted there
Made its sole declare:
“Closed for a private event. Our apologies.”
Now, now, how could this event be?
When be an event rumbling in me.
Rumbling to manifest itself
Soon in my light pants’ shelf.
I cried to the heavenly powers.
How could this be as this desperate hour?
My flight leaves in a just a short bit.
I had just enough time to give a sh–.
Now I hop like a bunny at Easter
A turd egg stuck suspended up in my keister.
And if I didn’t lay it soon.
I’d be stuck here until well past noon.
By then my flight would be in the air
And my dark egg settled in my underwear.
With my urgency driving me blind
I decided to rush past the sign.
What’s the worst they could do?
If you only I knew, only I knew….
To this day, I am still struck dumb.
The words are there, but won’t come.
The sight was beyond comprehension
I no longer had to lay a declension.
I pivoted and ran away.
And still to this very day.
I can’t enter an airport commode
Even if my nether did explode.
I curl into a fetal position
And accept my painful condition
Or I camp in the airplane restroom
As I feel the plane go zoom, zoom.
The rumbling of the engine’s roar
Gently nudges my bowls to explore.
Soon over the Great Divide
My waste is allowed to glide.
