Homeward

Charred bone and ashes

Ride buckled in the back seat

Bumpy road back home

         ~ ~ ~

Stifled

Summer dashing
finding yesterday.
Yea, take it!

You may have it all,
its musty steam and
absent season breeze.

Ask an onion,
Hope is in the Fall.

Tinsel

Artists self-ordained,

them their own fair critics

suck acclaim from their whores

applaud their dance

amidst blazing light

cast a center stage

awash in smoke and haze.
