kind, and loving.
They are always there for us.
Helping us on our long, slow journey.
The best.

We now just wait for old-man winter's song.
Yet upon this clear and full-mooned night
the landscape sparkles to Jack Frost's . . . more

Nor’easter (April 16, 2007)
I’m an aging man of sixty
Who has heard the wind blow before
And heard the word nor’easter

Whose rays appear like a multitude of streaming angels
Cascading down to earth . . . more

What kind of damned world do you dream of
What kind of damned dance do you do
I’ve never blamed anyone
But you are constantly blaming me
Why can’t we all just get the hell along
I’ll . . . more

Don’t let on
Just write nonsense
And you will soon be free
When they carry your corpse away
Don’t go to Chicago
Don’t let them find you on the beach

Benjamin Aptly strode down the street
looking for a place to drink his Bud.
He carried it in a brown paper bag
held tightly in a grip against the cold whipping wind. . . . more

I listen to the noise
I see a tragic scene
The sun won’t shine

Age is getting the best of me
And I’m not going anywhere

You’re pretending
Playing a game
That . . . more

and hearts become heavy.
oh, the things we do for love.

casting circles unseen
tracing secret signs upon
