Misery
Loves company -
And companies

Especially those whose brightly colored
Rags beckon from the check-out counter.
I counter
Their gossip
With a look of disdain
As they profit from stardom’s pain.

Blooming flower tree -
Electric purple branches
Reach up to the sky.

Standing stone still, her arms are

Empty echoes
As sound bounces off of space -
I watch a slow, serene birth
As pipes and wood meet
And mesh
To form one plural voice of many -
E pluribus unum;
Mechanics breathe a wind of life
Inside
Square wooden lungs
And a pipe organ is born.

Chimera.
The beast stalks me,
Sinking its sharp teeth
First into my joints,
Then setting its evil eyes
On my liver and heart. Continue reading ‘The Beast’
