A pile of papers,
We signed the contracts for hours
-the attorney said:
There's still one thing I will need.
It was the one thing missing.

The Rain And The Blues
Kneeling at her grave,
I looked up at the clear sky
-then I cried blue rain.
She sat across from me,
Telling me story of their love
-now about to cry:
since break up, no place to go-
memories everywhere!
Neverending rain,
Tourists went elsewhere, cafes closed
-was called Monsoon June.

Stormy weather day,
When the children came to play
-the storm clouds drifted.

Summer Frost
I thought I knew you,
For years we told our stories
-guess not afterall:
today you walked right by me
like a chill wind in Summer.

The Radio Hate Man frothed and fumed over all the other people.
It was the other people that were ruining the whole damn country!
Something had to be done!-next day, Radio Hate Man's show was cancelled.

Walled In And Out
Sitting in his cell,
He no longer sees the walls
-only lonely past.
In children's park,
Vines weave through the chain link fence
-forming leafy walls:
a cocoon for children's dreams
acted out on playing frames.

Child's Last Day
You looked up at me,
Holding that big paper bag
-bursting with treasures:
the blue blanket you napped on
and all the artwork you made.
