Love Me

Love me today

In a moment of disgrace

Weakness

And fear

Love my soul

Love me as we grow old

Weakness and health

Poverty or wealth

Just love me

Salisbury Steak

Certain meanings

Tucked in certain places

Certain feelings

Away in foolishness sameness

Salisbury steak on a Tuesday

Makes for a weird wire of digestion

As Wednesday approaches

Regret in tempting the only remnants

Of a Salisbury steak

Ruby Fields

Ruby fields

When the sun sets deep

In the western skies

Near the art of water

In summertime

Longing grains of wheat

Holding hands to the sky

Dancing

In the evening moonlight

Turmeric Eyes

Yellow eyes

As the sun sets over the mountains

Before the pink of evening

And past the day

There is a place

Where the yellow burns

Bright in an evening way

Over the fields of Nebraska

And short of the western edge

There is a silken sound

Whisked away

In the evening air

In the eve of today

Nuclear Minor

Nuclear

Options

Minor strategies

Most beholden ideals

Not communicated

With presidential seals

The major of the minor

The diminished to the augmented

Hold the forte for now

Point Mail

Point mail

Portions

Off in the air

Sent off the rails

I need the point mail

Sent right to the point of contact

The Ignorant Rifle

The ignorant rifle

Has no aim

No connection

To a soul

To a human heart

It is made of cold steel and wood

Keep it tucked away

Like we should

Ignorant rifles

Have no place in a home

In a community

This mutiny

Stops

When the guns are put away

Resident Advice

Fuck the experts

I need some resident advice

This may sound tense

Or absurd

But rather I need

A fresh word

Of silence and peace

Some perspectives

I can not reach

Come and stay residents claim

I need some time

And some resident advice

Ticking Clocks in the Restaurant

Ticking clocks in the restaurant

Subtle feelings exposed

In the wee hours

Of the night and morning

The ticking clock

Stays on time

As the time flies by

Goodbye tonight

Goodbye sweet place

Sweet trace of all that is good

Is in that old restaurant

Sunday

Made of a weekend

Made from the days

Adding up

In a grey winter haze

A Sunday can come

In an easy breeze

And be off

Off in ease
