Genocide

Once our friends

split-fluked ones

invade Cove

Spears rage

Nets drown

Families culled

From sea womb torn

now orphan Calf

forever slave

Weeps

Adieu

A Road to Nowhere…

Line in sand

cross 2 foam kisses

Listen 2 gulls gossip

find anonymous messages in shells

Walk beach & sea fills steps

as if U never were

Whirlwind

Hurricane Ike slams 1900 Hurricane Memorial on Galveston Seawall

Wicked witch rides wind

passes, sheering branches

ghosts rustle atop roofs

ghouls howl thunder

cackle lightening

storm churns nite terrors

Rats & roaches flee rock jetty       

days B4 earth trembles

sea surges 2 sink human conceits

Child collects shells

mom soaks in melanoma’s rays

Abstractions

For KO — some people just do not stop to see the sunsets…

Nature’s paradox:

Arid desert blazes

igneous red

Sea squalls mislay

pearl troves

Lightning bows

neon arc

Sunset,

eve’s rainbow,

allows stars

Systems

Earth rotates

orbits Sun

collecting dawn & dusk

season after season

Shut UR eyes & become dizzy

falling into life’s final vortex

Poseidon

Thoughts on Gulf of Mexico oil spill:

Poseidon enraged

turns sea red

sets it ablaze

imprisons pelicans & mollusks w/fetid glue

Humans flee whirlwinds

while gods laugh,

sea weeps

Thunder

Dogs howl

wolf god messages

wildness conjoles

hearth protects

soul’s limbo

free heart echoes

time before master

bed an ersatz den

Garden

No green thumb of spring youth

my brown touch irony

Even cactus weeps thorns

Only weeds thrive

lure lush promises

then poison by regret

Storm

Gray forces mass east

rain shards pummel grass

blades bend defeated

civilian flowers cower

armored snails defend leaves
