October 2022 Collage Poem: Unknown Lives
Café conflict, Halloween Haikus
From Dracula’s steps
I am on the 4th bench on the right
I am talking to you, to the love
And to the new face
And to my own death
A bat out of hell flew over
The 100 steps.
A fairy tale, but fairy tales
Are grim
Coldness begins to bite by
Witches Delight
The moon is desserted
White horse gallops into infinit...

Goddess pours like erotic iron on the breathless...

Over the years I’ve had
Elvis Presley and Lord Lucan as passengers
But everyone thinks I’m lying
Slender Man, Enderman, carrying things,

October Collage Poem: Sacrifice
People die for what they say - a sacrifice
I would say.
Promises unfulfilled in darkrooms
my pen massages,
carefully and lovingly
the waiting page.
She is everywoman: sacrifice, laughter, death.
U kip I kip we all kip
running saved her life
she is all giving
the painting of the dog, howling
she is all-giving, all-taking, all-lov...
