Poem One from When It's On series

When you are quiet

Windows prove their noise canceling

Ability to withstand windy snores

Buttercups are shining yellow

Digesting a late meal of memories in the future.

When quiet, the pops and painless upheaval of

Unconscious propulsion. Planting seeds in desire

Night gardener with little experience

Melting tracks to follow

Demise of the misfit

Mixing bowl catapult

Molasses escapee

There is a mouse trap being reused in the attic

With a cat in the house.

Burden of the empty bottle

Filling out worn skin dressed in ink

When you watch,

Crooked street lights fill the empty ally

Heaven drops the ball.


Drawing on the lecture

At a cluttered table sorting it all

OUT


For the reasons you told me to

There are no more groceries

Avoided that cell, a bigger story

You watch the swell, and hold your breath
