man walks on the road
as a car crests the hill top
neither will give way
man walks on the road
as a car crests the hill top
neither will give way
fried bread and hamburger
garlic, onions, cheese and sauce
cooking with my heart
tics coat my dog’s back
i pinch them off one by one
love should not draw blood
waiting in my room
bandcamp sales are not working
17 years in music
I think of all my favorites trying to stay alive during Covid-19
playing rummy again
trying to keep the cards straight
Alzheimer’s showing
my shelaighlee stick
rests easily by the front door
at hand for new guests
red paint on black tree
surrounded by privilege
the marked know their color
five vans parked at house
garbage bags on the windows
looks like meth is back
wherever i go someone is cooking or running a grow op.
the smell of fresh bread
outside the biker’s clubhouse
warns me to beware
true story – a club with anti-tank stantions camouflaged with flowers used to take advantage of the bakery they were next to when cooking crank i remember fondly
man sits on his chair
watering the sun-baked lawn
the riots are over
