A new poem is up on my artistic, serious site:
I Fall to Pieces
I Fall to Pieces
This Patsy Cline song echoes
When my eyes catch you near
It’s about failing to thrive
And heartache’s persistent sear
She speaks of her sorrow
And those cherished moments lost
The penance of heartache
Love’s...

The Orca pulled his trainer with his teeth by her hairInto the cold brine of his tank Into his frigid lair And underneath the water, he shook her like a ragHer small body in his giant mouthBefore her corpse met the bag It’d be wrong to suggest that it was anything to him but play When he snuffed...
