While Holding Her Hand…

Feeling I lost all sense of timeUkraineFlag
While holding her hand into sleep
Wondering if she hears me cry?
Feeling I lost all sense of time
Sitting beside mom euthanized
Telling myself it was a dream
Feeling I lost all sense of time
While holding her hand into sleep

Into the Meltdown

Posted in One Stop Poetry, Poetry Reading with tags , , , , , , , on April 5, 2011 by dustus


Maybe there’s a future somewhere?
I crash into the meltdown pane
A dead bird—choked on hot laced air
Maybe there’s a future somewhere?
Disintegrating fallout cares
Reliving what was this insane
Maybe there’s a future somewhere?
I crash into the meltdown pane

A Golden Scheme

Posted in Image Poetry, Poetry Reading with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on March 15, 2011 by dustus


This time I might discover life
Accepting death a golden scheme
Well squeeze moist eyes; uplift soft sighs
This time I might discover life
Repeats no points for bitter pride
To not break down—my goal it seems
This time I might discover life
Accepting death a golden scheme
