Art LectureI went to the art lecture
Because I knew it would
Be dark, and I could sit
In the back of the room
In back of all the backs
Of heads staring forward
At the slides shuttering by,
Oil strokes, cut...

Mother's Day 2024Today is Mother's Day of 2024.
But you died and you can't celebrate Mother's Day anymore.

You were...

A mother's endearmentIn the vast realm of this wretched misery
There lives a prowess, with an ardent melody;
She emanates the beacon of her loving light
She is my bastion, in times of blight;
Her adoring caresses parries my solitude
For her...

The Man Obsessed with Statistics

Love Not BloodThe shadow cast by twilight's breath,
A tale transpire, of life and death.
A refuge boy, adrift and torn,
From distant lands, in agony borne.
To Italy's shores, he finds his way,
Where ancient mutters softly sway.
Betwixt the olive groves,...

A Distant Goodbye
Make changes to break the cycle
Be mindful, always aware
Never create a fearful unsafe home
Always protect and care
Fear as his dads car pulled into the driveway
Watching the removal of his dads belt
Knowing what was coming next

LouKidding around, I called mother “Lou”
Short for Louella between us two.
She’d return the favor; call me “number three.”
At the time it was cute, now it’s precious to me.
“Thank you, Lou” always brought a smile,
A wink...
