the birds and the bees.

The morning broke the silence,
reflecting the sun’s light
into the darkness
putting the shadows on the run,
as it shines through the blinds;
and exposes the flowers outside the window.

We woke to birds singing
outside the window,
and a woodpecker
tapping bugs out of the siding.

Flowers know all the best gossip,

The Birds and the Bees.

Pass it on.

New Poems: workings and beginnings., POETRY

Later

Later,

You might recall

The moment you tore the valves

Right off my heart.

But that’s ok

I let it go

I went down

To the Wal-Mart

On the corner

Down the street

And bought some gorilla glue

pieced it back together.

And for years

I walked around

Connected to tubes,

and wires,

with beeping sounds

echoing about me.

 

Later,

I’ll mop up the blood

Covering the floor.

And staining the hard wood floors.

And sheets.
