A Thousand Knives

 

A Thousand Knives

Beyond darkness,

Unforgiveness shouts

Like a thousand knives

Forgetfulness, 

Soiled beneath memories,

Creaking, lying………

I feel terror,

Torment,

Loneliness,

My lover

Is an angry mob.

Muffins In The Yard

                

Muffins in the Yard 

Granny threw the muffins out

Pa said they were too hard 

She'd baked all day and got hell for pay

Now there's muffins in the yard.

Granny cooked a possum stew 

Up special for a treat

And Pa came home, left it alone

Said it smelled like his bare feet.

Granny baked a birthday cake

For Pa's eighty-eighth birthday

Pa blew out the candles and went to sleep

Without a word to say.

Granny made an apple pie

With apples picked herself

Pa came in, went out again

Left the pie there on the shelf.

Granny cooked some gravy

To eat with eggs and bacon

Pa woke up, poured him a cup

And no gravy was ever taken.

Granny cooked and Granny cleaned

And Granny did the chores

Pa sat around and went to town

Till she couldn't take it anymore.

Granny stirred and Granny mixed

A formula perfected

Arsenic, strychnine and a pinch of thyme

For the years she was neglected.

Granny waited and Pa came home

From sitting on the Square

Whittling with the good ole boys

Like he didn't have a care.

Granny set the kitchen table 

With the best china that she had

So pretty in the candlelight

It made her heart feel glad.

"What garbage are we having tonight?"

Pa snickered like a heel

He filled his plate and then he ate

His last supper, his last meal.

Now Granny cooks to her heart's content

And life is no longer hard

But the wild life outside has all up and died

From eating muffins in the yard.

The Fire That We Make

 

                                                                   

 The Fire That We Make

You walked in the door

And the room lit up like

A 4th of July grand finale

And a Christmas tree trimmed 

With ten thousand stars

My god! 

You were an answer to a prayer

And a dream come true

Strutting in like a man who knows

Who he is and what he wants to be

Our eyes made contact

And the chemistry sent flames

Through our veins

And arrows of love into our hungry hearts

It was music, it was magic

It was a tsunami of longing

That could only be sated one way

And it would not be denied

Not then, not now, not ever

It was a fire unquenchable

And a storm that would never be quieted

No matter how senselessly we tried

And here today, tonight

We still feel the flames

Reaching out like fingers

Responding to silent screams

My fire, your fire entwins

Liquifying like streams of lava

All yearnings consuming

In the fire that we make.
