thunder misty
whisky moonlight
slow dancing liars
rainbows on the rocks
Retribute
She rode the tracks
From San Francisco to Old EP
Reluctant went the while beside him.
She damned him and damned me,
And lo when came the final station
Twas her most damned of all.
Patriot
- USA
- that’s what it said
- (In red not blue)
- and from either side
- of its bill
- the birds had fed
Murky
The avenue beats a discordant symphony.
Street lamps circle dim around the moths.
Terriers strut tethered taut to widows’ wrists.
Teamsters haul their loads up to the docks.
Far off sirens race beneath an ash-filled sky.
Jane packs up her empty can and pleading signs,
Warms her suckling daughter at her breast
And wheels her stroller to the bridge.
