    I stare mesmerized
    at a last lifeless leaf
    clinging to bare branch.
    How alike we are,
    brittle, ...

    The Seine is a tale-bearer,
    though glittering in diamond innocence.
    The wolds all about her banks

    The Dirt

    The cold no longer touched her
    even when he did,
    she'd moved beyond his ego
    straight into her Id.
    Buried under layers
    of his dead, damp earth,
    suffocating darkness lay
    ...

    A steady stream
    of seventies super hits
    forever echo
    in the corridors
    of my mind.

    in the womb of space,
    caressed by darkness
    and warm solar kisses,

    God in a box

    I think the gods of old
    have crept away in shame;
    ignored, embarrassed
    at our lack of awe.

    We no longer know their names
    or tremble
    at their beautiful face—
    we ...

    A fickle mistress,
    she brings no warmth
    to your bed-
    but clouds the minds
    and vision of all.

    You cannot woo her.
    She has no heart to feel
    nor hands to hold;
    though you
    are in her palm. ...

    while you laughed and sipped red wine,

    This math quiz was taking so long.
    It was hard to divide.

    Melpomene


    She's slipped her chain, picked the lock
    crept past the guards again.
    There will be no sleep tonight-
    a mad man's muse is on the loose.

    She lurks in the corners, or sits by my bed

    String Theory


    Threads pull taut
    within my mind,
    to wrinkle the fabric
    of memories.
    Pain, stretched thin;
    a surgeons scalpel-
    dissects emotions,
    lancing old scars
    with new insights.

    I bleed out
    through fingers,
    to pen, to page. ...
