DRIFTING UP

 

while walking

in the dark

inhaling the

aroma of night

I threw a few words

into the sky

 

a collection of

dust particles

vapors and thoughts

 

my imperfections

of everything

and nothing

 

watching them

drift up

and disappear


 

THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I


under the wrinkled cellophane

half light from a corner pole

he argues with passion

answering his own questions

while specks of saliva

explode from his mouth

 

people avoid his

belligerent words

and expressive drama

of flailing arms

and winged hands

 

 

MOTEL ROOM #13

 

the key turned

to the right

the door knob

to the left

 

a strong aroma

walked slowly

out the door

of the unkept room

 

shattered sunlight

coursed through

a torn curtain

 

the only window

bandaged with

black duct tape

 

the bed unmade

a chair overturned

dots of squashed

flies on the wall

beside a bathroom

without a door
