Poem on a piece of tinfoil

He said he needed time                                 

said he was busy

said we’d do it soon

said he’d check his schedule

He said he wanted to

said he needed time

said he didn’t like to plan

said everything but yes

Water with two lemons on a plate

(I’m high maintenance and I get what I want)

jr. burger with cheese, no mustard, add mayonnaise, tub of ketchup

cup of cheddar ale, bring the rooster sauce,

bowl of Tom Yam with the chicken on the side, no mushrooms

Pint: 1/3 Woodchuck and 2/3 Harp

vanilla Vodka and tonic with one lemon and one lime, single tall, two straws

your driest white wine on the rocks in a bourbon glass

The Cardinal

Darts away from his wife

(weaving through branches)

and heads East

His wife balances

on the rocking branch

(head tilted in question)

then heads West

Their conversation, over

Two

Two

quiet
the air is quiet still
numb and gone missing

you are lying there
bleeding from your side
entering the dirt

she cries out
her arms beat you
her body sways       she looks
to the heavens       then
back to you
then back to you

she is quiet

Welcome To Our New Project!

Lauren and I are embarking on a new project.  Every Friday we are going to post a poem by Lauren and a photo by Trina.  The idea was born out of both of us needing to be more creative in our lives and to put that creativity out into the world.  I hope that you all will enjoy our new adventure.

P.S. This is not an April Fool’s prank
