Beware
of warm fall days.
They draw your thoughts away
and force you to forget what lies
ahead.

'ahead'

stood out the garage
soon the hotel revealed itself

Blue Bliss?
I cannot think
of anything I could write
that would begin with those two words.
Too bad.

Two words --
that's what you said.
I had time to hear those.
But I've been counting, and you've said
far more.

My soul --
does hope perch there
wearing feathers, singing?
I don't think so. My brain would yell,
"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"
That's what he wants.
So to spite the bastard
I take the opposite course and
shut down.

shut down
all the prisons,
formal institutions
and schools, and let the lunatics
run free.

Run free
while there’s still time.
Fallen leaves float downstream—
winter has not yet hardened the
river.

Heartache --
though we broke up
after a huge dinner,
so perhaps after all it was
heartburn.

Can't cure
the common cold,
or fix a flat tire, or
build a better mouse trap. Love is
useless.

Useless…
Walking graveyards,
In full moonlit glory,
The stones warm bones now all alone,
No you.

Touché.
You're right on point,
of course, and I have lost.
Now for the love of God, can we
shut up?

Second one with shut up as the last line...sheesh

Shut up,
snowy day here,
steamy windows, white flakes
on the horizontal wind swirls
me on.

me on
a soapbox, smug,
self-righteously angry,
proclaiming what's wrong and right to
no one.

No one,
not you nor me,
could evade the Reaper.
The black cloak will come for us all,
swiftly.

swiftly
her curving smile
thawed the ice between us
strangers we were, though something clicked
indeed

That day,
when the earth shook,
and opened before us,
there rose the flaming blood of hell,
fire.

fire
is what you'll feel
when you, I, on this bed
will unite and battle, but both
will win
