Birdbrain


Thank God, I’m a teetotaler— 
All this twitter’s enough 

To drive one to think.

Not for the Birds


Magpie, be silent and listen— 
How many times 

Have you not heard this one?

Doubt before Dawn


Whether it’s rime or thistledown 
Along this roadway, we’ll know 

As soon as the sun shows us 
Its face and the fog lifts— 

Let us rise to the occasion 
And be on our way.

Assayer


Appraising his folly 
His universe to see, 
He wonders why 

His sight’s been affected— 
Two black holes his eyes, 
Don’t you see?

Taken to the Cleaners


Incredulous, love— 
I can’t believe how

You took the shirt off 
My back or why 

I’m still waiting for you
To give it back, incredibly

Laundered, immaculate, white.
