Cold to crack the bones
a nothwest wind doth send
sharpened teeth it hones
Ahoy, the winter wind !
Flesh from bone t’will rend
among the trees it moans
O the fire I shall tend !
Over the hill it groans
screaming round the bend
incessantly it drones
Ahoy! The winter wind.

The full moon atop yon pine, prodigious, yellow and precariously perched
brings words like turgid, and tumscent to one’s mind.
The gently sweating cooler causes steamy, sultry, and torrid
to rush to your tounge.
Things waft and burgeon, the very air has a palatible texture
soft, silky, and damp
Scents hanging in a veritable miasma of sweetness.
Enormous Luna and Spinx moths flap by,
sipping from moon flowers that are popping open
like tiny explosions, hemming one in.
It is all too momentous, weighty, and substantial.
Fireflies flit about, providing neon lighting for the edges of the woods
while blinking their message of sex.
Shrieking crickets, screeching circadas, screaming frogs, and harumphing gators
all incessantly beg for love
shattering the serenity of the night into nonexistance with their ceaseless need.

A poetess I long to be
with fame and lauds perpetually
as I write whilst sipping tea
A poetess I long to be
though it seems I lack the clarity
and yet perhaps eventually
A poetess I shall too be
with fame and lauds perpetually

time and tide turn on a dime
the wise owl let the dogs out
nosey parkers look in horse’s mouths
rolling stones drive up the wall
early birds are two per bush
quiet mice get pigs in pokes
flying time skins cats
running jokes fall on flat faces
sly foxes get what’s coming
dead ducks are daft as a brushes
cold turkey’s the end of the line

Sleep eludes me
hiding under my pillow, slipping round the bedroom door
and running down the hall and away
to hide, laughing at me softly, behind the sofa
I look for it under the remote control
and in the screen of the television
It isn’t there
Nor in the refrigerator, where I look next
I think it has escaped into the darkness beyond the windows
or maybe gone to play with the cat, who seems to find it easily
Perhaps in the guest room?
Or the cookie jar?
Eventually I give up the search and begin to write
Then, as dawn is breaking,
sleep slinks shamefaced into the room and taps me on the shoulder
expecting to be welcomed back like a prodigal son
and I do
folding it into my arms and rushing it off to bed
before it changes it’s mind
