Time Consuming

Here with people,The people and me. Sitting in the grass, watching people waiting,As a pastime talking, eating, drinking. Here we are, the people and me.Living our lives, watching people watch each other.And as a pastime, to fill the negative space, they watch each other eat.

Oh to Those

The world in all its walks, The gardens leading nowhere, but always somewhere great, The invitation across the seas, While experiencing bliss alongside me. Oh the misery of such a short life. Oh to those that burn with strife. As the eyes grow so heavy and fade, and the other world beckons you, pulling your […]

Winter is Made of Daydreams

As winter set in, there was a fond remembrance and sadness that swept through him. It wasn’t until he stepped foot onto the hard wood floor and felt the crisp bite of the season that he truly missed her, his lover. Winter has a romantic side to it. Winter is made of daydreams made up […]

“Dr. Jonz, at your cervix.”

It was Christmas day. A lonelier than normal Christmas day, I should say. The sky was cloudy which trapped in all the heat, continuing the 30 days straight of highs in the 80’s. This was indeed, a Texas Christmas. The only thing non-Christmassy and Non-Texas about this day was the fact that… I am Jewish. […]

Do You Miss Me?

Don’t you miss staring into my eyes as I make my way in and out of your loveliness? Don’t you miss that quiver, knowing that in just a moment you’ll be embracing me, arms tight around me as I release with you, in you? Don’t you miss lying there afterward, still melded together, breathing, being, […]

Past Life

You in the morning, with that thin wavy dress, As the current blows through the street and reveals to me your silken figure, I see in you as our eyes pass, a subtle glare that reminds me of a delicate time, perhaps with you, long ago in a different life. And I ask myself, “why […]

Pulitzer Prize

I walked through the museum today, a wall full of photos from those that had won the Pulitzer prize, and I choked and choked, and felt the swell of something long forgotten, something desired and longed for. A meaning, a moment, a truth that can’t be sought. Capture that plea, that ache and catch that […]

If it ever so decides

Get the storm away from my garden, as it consists of only thunder. The clouds, gloomy and grey, have no contribution to my day. And when it finally starts to rain, if it ever so decides, I’ll be standing at the window, watching the vegetables grow.

I’m Done!

I dug a hole for the love of digging, and when the earth did not pay me for my efforts, I was angered and depressed. I had fallen in love with the earth. It’s my own fault. I’m the one who chose to dig, without guarantee of reward. Though after digging with love and enthusiasm […]

Trained to be Trained

Drink it all up and gobble it down, There are idiots upon fools lurking about. They say the things you’d never even dream, all because, let’s face it, they’re trained to have low self-esteem. Cheap and sloppy and gruesome and never ever gay, they sit and drink and go about their fucked up ignorantly blissful […]
