Poetry, pre-1997

Delivery

In the pistachio car, I swept the papers,
Over my shoulder, I tossed to a moustache
And slept, ate ours do wrong? Or too long?
Two don't make a light, although
General Electric is up six and five-eighths points,
London gold is down thirty cents

...Winston never would admit my shortcomings.
Wish I'd learned to drive
Tossed
Ours
Light.

Memories from a Suicide

The darkness intruding into my light,
Visions of past are blinding my sight,
Memories long buried.
Someone has found a key to this tomb,
Rough hands pull me from the sheltering womb.
A torrent of faces wash over me,
A whirlwind of places consume me,
Only focusing on one sigle thread.
Emptiness begins to overflow,
I can't help but asking fate "Why?"
The thread was cut prematurely,
Backlash of emotions floods my eyes.
So willfully did he cut himself free
Could not share his pain,
Emotional, that which he lived through,
Physical, that agonizing flash
That sealed him away from pain,
in my tomb of memories.

Untitled

Upon this page I seek an out,
Method of madness, praising devout,
Harkening back through the years and pain,
Memory's flood, a darkening shade.

Eclipse outpouring, seek to forget,
Thoughts in my head, taking the threat.
Drain of emotions promise release
Relief, a mirage, distant and clear.
