5:00 a.m.
Frisked.
The day begins.

It is easy to see
how life becomes
little more than habit
a small series
of repetitive movement
like dancers at the barre
Stand on line
pay the fare
hurry up and wait
Repeat.
It is easy to see
how life becomes
little more than disappointment
a small series
of repetitive movement
3
Fingers fly
tapping out
an angry reply
it must be easy to aim and fire
when the object of one’s ire
lives faceless
in cyberspace
4
Found each other
on the way down
each needing a boost
Your footprint
is still on my back-
I guess some scars
won’t heal.

You know no boundaries in love
and that is what makes you beautiful.
You know no boundaries in love
and that is what makes you gullible.
6
Handsome wanderer
soul beat poet man-child
pacing out your tormented
mad sick demons.
The square is quiet
compared with your restless mental toil-
expell it forcefully
surrender to the page.
The you can be still
just for a moment
and see life through clearer eyes.

Traveling

Produces
Longing

Bubblegum pink
Sunkist orange
the room is a burst of color
and expression
a manifestation of
who you are becoming
day in and day out
a strange amalgam
of girl and woman
the artist formerly known
as Sugar Shack

Cell Phone Call Notes, While Driving in a Downpour
Zacheus
art reflects what’s in the heart
need quotes
next Sunday
everyone has a backstory
we are all lost
10
Rain wakes the senses
washes clean confusion
makes it easy to envision
a lifetime of news and coffee
in this place of shelter
