With Sails


they sail on rough seas
towards themselves rather than
away from one another

and nobody would even have to know
what he sees as he peers perplexedly away
i said bitterly to him alone

to be found that way...
to be anything other...
to think that when...

Courage


As if courage could be transmitted

he developed an entire science

for the generation to come.

A House But Not A Home


The process of bringing the

house up to the standards of

Jean Harlow's ghost was

difficult, to say the least.

Sunset

he thought, he did think
even on the hill
vanished foliage
he had denied
molten sunset
gone, she
had been more
beautiful than
he had believed

beauty exotic, not tentative
her cruel smile, her
beauty
in a smile
still remained
as she would tell
