**The Country Kind of Love** In the beginning, there was a love that blossomed in the heart of the countryside. We would lie in an old hammock, sheltered by the sycamore trees, feeling the cool breeze brush against our skin. Those moments were a glimpse of the joys of country living: a large pitcher...

Shagged in the back of a shotgun shack at night by moonlight peeping past curtains of burlap sack such a sore sight surrounded by fields of green willing as she'd been tho' torn she surely wasn't about to be seen with a child out of wedlock born so with a bun in the oven she had her Dad invite he who did the dirty deed and plant...

I speak now, not with breath, But through the bones of history, Through palms that never bore fruit Because your embargo starved the soil. You feared not our weapons— We had none to match your bombs. You feared our ideas, Because they burned too brightly in the dark. Sixty-two winters and summers, My people have walked in chains— Not of iron, But of isolation, hunger, and...

In the dark of night, where dreams bear bloom, and silence reigns in my shadowed room, my pillow waits, serene, composed, awaiting my sleepy head to doze. Beneath my head it yields its form, to cradle my crown from day’s storm, and offer a sweet night’s repose, yet pillow’s thoughts, who really knows?

Sneezing again, Somewhat lost control over me. Again. And now the seasons changed, Summer’s walking out on me. Again. The nicotine chain, Forcing down another twenty. Again. Wheezing refrain, I feel the rain pouring down on me. Yet again. Reminisce again of the roof above, Something that once held over me. But the sky now drops tears, Joyless tears, Again. Love washed over me. Again. Pointlessly...

I just want to be loved, For however long it lasts, It’s enough, I just need someone to lift me out of the mud. I just want to be loved, Even for five minutes, Passed over, I’m fine with being lost in the flood. I just want to be loved, For however long it lasts, It’s...

a coin, a vinyl recording a mirror, a leaf, a door a picture, a photo of the wall a day, dawn, moon, clouds alive, awake, eyes open, floating ahead, today, tomorrow, a shadow growing old, a diary, a tombstone onward, upward, hands up, face up, bottoms up going forward, with no reverse gear, timely a book open, uncovered, a calendar, a clock facing up,...
