Over is over
while unexpected prelude
is waiting to pounce

Driving the long way;
an emotional short-cut
through confusing fields

What is a country
exhausted from politics?
capitol sunset

Truth is not hiding
If I can't get what I need,
why am I afraid?

Something I did was
horrifyingly scary;
first post break-up date

Mr. Obama,
Why aren't you called, "president?"
Is it because you're...

"I stand for nothing,
But oppose my opponent,
Who supports bad things"

This election boasts;
Jerry Springer in nature
It's so pathetic

I hate to go home
The empty place stands alone
Yet I am more so

Writing goes with wine
Good beer follows a long hike
A martini? Sex

I'd like to sing out
Let my soul land on air waves
And bless what is left

What is insurance?
Imagined control? You sure?
What is assurance?

Rehab for the poor
cannot exist in our world
Don't sit idly by

A mutual dread

of landing in waking dreams
a tango of fog

Fevers of night-sweats
is it sleep, dream, or torment?
mine should be fiction

How vulnerable
that seeing you is a dance
through confusing song

My heart yearns for truth-
for answer, knowledge, closure
(though mind fears they'll stop)

Anticipation
twain on the fence of a blade
an abyss of hope

Our past feeds foresight
an experienced wish for
closed-eyed clarity

Yet with transference
Daylight brings a blinding glare
horizonless. blind.
