• Leave a Message at the Tone…

    I can hear my phone buzzing
    on the dresser across the room
    like a fly…dogging my face
    it’s distracting

    as I give myself over
    …in every possible sense…
    to his ferocious ministrations

    his smoky eyes burning holes in my soul
    setting my nerve endings ablaze
    flickers spreading quickly
    a…Read More

    I was gonna jump
    but I needed someone to watch
    so I waited
    and while waitin

    and I forgot why I climbed
    so I came back down
    quieter than I went up

    Sensory Memories

    “why are you so addicted to popcorn?”

    because on Saturday evenings…
    when I was small…
    (too young to know of more exciting things…
    like theaters and urban adventures)
    there was a table that became an arena

    • Aw, I can smell the corn popping from here – a really atmospheric poem.

    • Willow, I make the popcorn the same way your grandmother did, 3 quart pot, melt the butter and mix. But I must confess, the popcorn goes in a big bowl and I eat it all from there. Thanks for sharing the popcorn….er… I mean the poem. ;0) -Curt
