idly considering

the rise of your hip

and the swell of your breast

crashing against the endless shore

of a lazy summer day

white sails flapping in the breeze

clouds skitter past

coiling and boiling

into themselves

buoyed on a rising wind

_This Is Your Valentine  
My Valentine To You  
relative reality is handy  
contextual candy  
until the urgent, electric day  
comes calling  
and the lemon sun is burning  
then with scales falling  
it’s late too late  
the stars are turning  
another days begun  
once I was yours  
and you were mine  
but that was just a notion  
and you made a motion  
now you’re free  
Unshackled !  
mankind sings your praises  
Prometheus fights with Smokey the Bear  
Only YOU can prevent forest fires.  
crush the embers  
and cover the ashes with dirt  
Farewell Sweet Girl  
I Loved You So  
So very so_

[SIZE=“3”]a random cripple

flowing

in a Georgia wood

time swirls away

my tiny daughter twirling in the sunlight

her gingham pinafore billowing

spirals up

from the damp loam

past the smoldering conifers

over the ocher hills

curling smoke

a breathless wisp

i flew

chasing her caprice

into the burning day[/SIZE]

</div>

[SIZE=“3”]wind shivered leaves

arcing on tired stems

blazing gold and crimson

sun sugars changing

breaking free

fluttering down

skittering past empty streets

kissing the earth

wheeling into the wind

on a lemon bright, cloudless day

the sky is opening into the heavens

I am falling

to you[/SIZE]

</div>

\*a strange little star

twinkled into life

as you tumbled into the world

collapsing in your bed

at the end of the day

dark cars outside sliding past

in puddles splashing

your children striding past you

into infinity

the earth precesses

whirling about it’s axis

the arrow of time

brushes past your face

the deafening buzz of a distracted life recedes\*

ADAM-12

comes now

the urgent man

whom duty calls

to answer

impugning fingers

swarming,

quick, grasping

lithe, snatching

crawl with

quiet, scuttling

politics

over the husk

of a real life

no justice for the abandoned

a sea of dead promises

and credulous notions

the fashion of the time

the way of all things

see the man

ADAM 12
