# <center>Still Life and Paper Cuts</center>
<br>
placed on a platter for your enjoyment
flesh and fowl, a feather or two
papyrus and quill
goblets fill from a myriad
of my flowing paper cuts
drink up the scene, eat your fill
take your leave, don’t bother with farewells
thank you’s or even a bow
in your pocket, smuggled cartilage
some stolen cutlery
saw the wishbone down, smash it to dust
whitewash your chambers with mealy debris
ink pots fill from my flowing paper cuts
drink up the scene

nightmare !!!
bright green strobes
alien invaders; solar waves
aurora

My son and I spent the day yesterday working in the yard and garden. We were delighted and surprised to find last years Jack-O-Lantern, though a little worse for wear, had maintained his Halloween charm. We put in our Three Sisters seeds, beans, squash, and corn, and so hopefully a little fleshier and orange replacement in on the way in a few months and just in time for next October. Should nature oblige.

# <center> [Six Hour Performance]</center>
<br>
six hour performance
pyrotechnics, dancers
tympanic percussion
an awe-struck audience
the night sky endures
<br>
# <center>Addicted to the Current</center>
<br>
the indigo lion
yawns and roars
puffs of air, soundless
pitter-patters past
anachronistic chipped
marble canines, chokes
on dust and tired ideas
thought waves
roll and entwine
quantum entangle
pluck and strum
strings get sticky
bind desire
inspire, resonate
constrain, limit
twist the skin
of willful bliss
<br>
the surge swells
wishing maintains
the resistance
the stasis
hope and blame
addictions
to the current
the pride's heart
expands and contracts
grieves and rejoices
surf the eternal
ebb and flow
forget a decaying frequency
or drown in its wane

tiger lily bud
purely pensive
lion on the cusp

# <center>On Permanent Dim</center>
<br>
once the light was blue
incoming, fast, mercurial
we merged created purple
thrilling; inclusive, you and me
fabled, mythic, illusionary
Then …
kicked to the outer rim
with the bandits
the other undesirables
the disagreeable
Feels …
I’ve been shifted to red
a forgotten galaxy
not worthy of future
study
set adrift
on permanent dim

I've stayed sad
waiting for you
to dance with me
in the light
