the pretty



where will i be
without the pretty
where would the simple be
without the difficult
will i be lost
like an episode of lost
will the pretty
still be there

will the pretty
still be there
when the shoes run out
when my make-up dries
when the dresses run thicker & longer
will the pretty
still be there

will i be able
to keep the pretty
from losing its sin
will the pretty
be the benefactor
will this pretty
still be there

talia, apache princess


a wee talent
in a young shell
becomes a rose

lovely she is
sweet as a date
her adorable
smile travels great

a swim meet with sharks

cold blooded
butterflies with gills
beyond the horizon
black tips mako
lemons in a pen

water bubble hearts
rise in temperature
the sunlight
piercing through

long shadows
of speed and stroke
a rippling tube for
many hope
the finish line

tessie

a dog bark
in a sound
of a tenor
sings over
the ocean waves

high tide twilight
moon beams glow
at which music notes feel

her bite heavy
vanishing
in tone

el loco pollo

fried, grilled, or stewed
chicken is good food

belly consuming
mouth watering
white and dark meat
a savory strut

smashing!

hatchet throwing
booze drinking
fire startin'
good times

friends, amigos, homies
good times

still images
of memorable frames
sentimental and cherished
good times

laughter
gut-busting
to oddball
good times

compassionate
loyal
fun
good times

unforgettable
loving
rapturous
enchanted
good times

open flight

altered perceptions
revealing zen
