Writing
In white ink
On white paper
Made what she had to say
Quite clear
Happy Families
HAPPY FAMILIES
The silence spoke volumes
Passive aggression
She didn’t know the term
But then she had no need
She had no real desire
To continue living
And so was quite grateful
For his contribution
He had no real desire
To continue living
And so was quite grateful
For her contribution
Passive aggression
The silence spoke volumes
He didn’t know the term
But then he had no need
Ongoing Creation
ONGOING CREATION
Inhabit your life until it creaks, cracks open
Loudly ringing for a change – for transition
Hopefully, dutifully – inspirationally calling
Out to each and every reader passing by
In time words appear … “Beautiful poem.”
You reply: “Thanks for your kind words.”
Across The Ocean: Tanka
ACROSS THE OCEAN
“Am I coherent?”
You asked … I made a meaning
Out of what you said
Hopefully it is the one
You had in mind … But who knows?
A Comment On Comments
A COMMENT ON COMMENTS
This writer is forever very grateful
To all those who spend their time
In suspending their precious time
To those who not only visit, read
But reflect, chew a while and share
Their own thoughts and feelings
For thus we may build community
In flagrant defiance of those others
Who fearfully wish but to destroy it
Stage Four
STAGE FOUR
I love you
You’re forgetful now
With chemo
And all that
So I wrote it on paper
Hope you understand

(For shame: further unwarranted symbolisms)
The page has not – not – loaded completely
Something went wrong – went wrong – went wrong
Wiring went wrong – Went AWOL – Went haywire – Rewire
Digital – Digitail – Digitool – Digitall – Digitalis
Intent – Intention – Unintention – Unintended
I Robot – I Roboot – I Reboot – I Reboot – I Reboot
Recovering no now nor now nor neither truth
Nor whatever else once or twice passed for truth
Back then, back there, back in the day
Back it up – Backpack it – Pack it in
Back then back when we postured as one
As one posing as posing as posed as one
As apposite – Or as in opposition
Or as apposite as possible
Or as I – As I – Let’s admit it
As I – uninvited – scammed
(For shame: further unwarranted symbolisms)
The Art Of Erasure
THE ART OF ERASURE
Tried to make statements
The more we perfected it
The more we said less

LAST CALL
Fingers crossed
Shoulders to the wheel
Work together
This whole world
Reversing destination
To save the planet
