 The cover of my newest book, coming soon

 For Mom

Life’s breezes

blow less

gently now,

and across

a noticeably

emptier

landscape.

From the forthcoming book "The Sounds a Shadow Makes"

 

Jack-in-the-box

 

We slowly, dutifully

Turn the handle of life,

One eye open

For anticipated surprises,

On edge,

Waiting for the jack-in-the-box

Of our efforts,

Only to conclude

That the lid

Has been sealed all along,

And our turning and expectations

Have revealed a different sort of clown

-From Scribbled Lines

 

The Sounds a Shadow Makes

 

The whines and the wails

Are suppressed, concealed in darkness..

From the shadows comes the sound

Of camouflaged cries,

Unseen suffering from unknown depths,

Disguised despair in black attire,

Wishes manifest as whispers

Where there is no salvation in the silence…

There is a beautiful painful symphony

Played on instruments of torment

From the fringes of the blackness

From the upcoming book The Sounds a Shadow Makes (Copyright 2023)

Soulmates, Daughters, and the Spirit in the Urn

 This collection was my second chapbook.  The central theme is looking at relationships in a different way, in an honest, objective, observational way.  This includes family, romantic relationships, and even reflecting on relationships with those who have departed.
