Traveler’s way to sepulcher Palsy fingers, pull lint, from his sweater. He sits shivering, in the heat today. Dark, dusty boxes, hold his memory. Mad smirk on his face, gives little to lookers, who pass, his bent frame. Once a torrent, hunter of passion, and breaker of hearts. A fighter of wars, a... Sign in to see full entry.

Not Alone
Not Alone Evening, I remember sitting in a green field on a chalk rock. I was very young. Bells rang clear in the steeple. on a summer Sunday, before vespers, in the last light, I wondered why I had been born, where my place was on earth. Maybe an answer tonight, might come, I’d hoped. But no,... Sign in to see full entry.

Never Woke
Never Woke I slept so deep, then slipped…somewhere, deeper than dreams. holding hands with a specter. Getting familiar here, not ready to be, but, learning this is final. Goodbyes, might have been fitting, but ill fitting, how many byes, before I slept tonight? Who new? Days may have passed, so... Sign in to see full entry.

Behind My Eyes
Behind My Eyes I see the beards of summers past, shoes and socks, haircuts of winters gone. Heartbeats of autumns rhythmic with leaves, love of mine in a spring one year. My moods in some Junes better than most Julys, crying once or more with rain in weeks of months in years I’ve now forgotten.... Sign in to see full entry.

Rarer Than
Rarer Than In kingdoms of deep, fish journey through billows of an indigo sunrise. Ocher sands under oceans, landscapes of lowlands beneath blue tons. Rainbows hidden, twisting in currents heaving within, those canyons down there. Millions of years, as silt in sand, silent cataclysms at the neap of... Sign in to see full entry.

Rain
Rain I’m here alone, and it’s now when it’s most difficult. My mind is an army on the march, brigades of thought tonight, while thunder, thunders. The rain is herds of water, it goes where it seeks, finds its own level, settles, deep and still. I want that, gangs of silence thick quiet sleep syrup... Sign in to see full entry.

From Somewhere, This
From Somewhere, This... Tiny as the ant it started, somewhere in me. Now, in the morning early as it is, it towers in me. I'll keep it, big as it is, makes me smile as it is. Funny, it was so small, funny, how love does that. Hayward 2006 Sign in to see full entry.
Absolute Memory
Absolute Memory The radio talks behind me. Mindless words I should turn it off stop writing cultivate a relationship that already is losing ground to the radio and me. Tame by most standards, I’m letting it slip away, an old town dory leaving with the tide. My past is just that, gone, the memory is... Sign in to see full entry.

Boy
Boy When I was a boy I struggled as I do today. Insurmountable worry hateful insults crying jags caused by me. I would watch my feet when I walked thought they took me, not me them. It was a backward way to think while moving while walking. I designed ways to be alone. Still do, close myself off... Sign in to see full entry.

Diary
Diary Cooked two magnificent Red Snapper filets last night. Julienne summer squash carrots, zucchini, and chopped basil. I topped the snapper with a visit from my girlfriend also, a room temperature banana chutney. The Stag’s Leap cabernet bit the back of my tongue. The snapper was pan seared in an...
