VINYL siding falling off
PANEL by panel, showing colors like a
STEIN full and foaming, erstwhile home now
DOWDY from neglect.

Undimmed Beauty
LOSER, each? Bound for dirt or drift away as ash,
ALLOTed four score of striving, loving, hating, only for names to fade. No!
FIXER, recreator, comes to grant the win,
SPARK back into us all we were meant to be; eyes will open to undimmed beauty.
Kindling
LOSER of ways, plots, and self, a
FIXER-upper in aspiration;
ALLOT room for oxygen in your heart’s tinder:
SPARK after spark of affection landing.

Speck
SPOONed out with ease a god these mountain masses?
SPOOKed with thoughts, pondering vast force, climber toils,
SCARY the whats or whos who raise and sculpt great heights,
SNOWY slog, labored breath, each step speaking: I am a speck.
Dress Warmly
SCARF like Linus’ blanket for those who
SPOOK easily at even a
SPOON full of weather––those
SNOWY gales of memory.

Caper
CELLO and violin rest in the
SHADE of a grand

PIANO. How to get it to the paddock?
Sweet and salty
SWOON, you soft and sweet and
SALTY moon, you’re in a splendour
PHASE and soon your tender
MANIA is strewn in another land.
Just a Phase
SWOON at the siren’s melody echoing over the
SALTY waters; lose yourself to the music’s
MANIA. Beware: changing course is not a
PHASE.

Mood Swings
MANIA slides phlegmatic him outside habit’s stable course:
SALTY sea dog now fluent in choler’s rant, tailing into
PHASE of sanguine bold exertion before
SWOON, then awakening to new melancholy knowledge: we live and move in shifting substrate
