Barricades

Barricades

To remove the barricades –
Bring down the Tower!
…my own Arab spring.
Placing the heart
right in the eye
of the
storm.

Sway

Sway

The fluid sway
of her hips,
like a cool
summer breeze
shutters moving
back and forth
a hot
summer afternoon,
my eyes drawn ’round
the corner
where she
undoubtedly
swayed her hips
cool
like a summer breeze
shutters moving back
and forth
a hot summer
afternoon.

This not That

This not That

The cars heaved
forward stopped
in their motion by
the changing lights
and as I
crossed
the road
bathed in piercing lights
I sensed the delectable
joy making this
step but not
that
step
the wondrous sensation
a moment anew
crisp
this
and not that
never to be again
