We were gathered by his bedside. As promised, we were sending him out with laughter and telling our favorite Jimmy Shambo stories.
Crystal brought out the Tequila, and Bodine stumbled in the front . . .

Wednesday night in our little town of New Franklin, a police detective died.
He'd been drinking and beating his wife and, as his sister was on the phone with the 911 operator, put his wife in a choke . . .

Compromise, walking in the other's shoes or simply the ability to hold there may be another opinion as valid as one's own, that is what we need.

We need each other. We depend on others to live. Others depend on us. This is the way of our society.

This week has been terrible
Wonderful and tragic
Death took my dear friend's hand
Lead him to the magic
From Sunday to Saturday
Grieving laughing weeping
Life in a tie dye fog
Something like walk-sleeping . . .

Ahhh, laundry's hung so I make for the hammock. (Little afternoon respite from my workload.)
Clouds lazily float across my view through the trees and a few birds sing appreciatively.......

when we are together
and
she is there
I am glad for her presence
because
I like her
thus
I do not
embrace you longer
linger in your arms
keep your gaze locked tight within my own
kiss you harder
and . . .

MY KIND OF FREEDOM

Children laugh and twirl
Musicians smile while playing
Hippie festival
Engine above trees
Skydivers target the beach

Tick tick
clock speaks
measured, precise
Tick tick
time moves
to where?
Tick tick
dog sleeps
I sigh
and wonder
where are those minutes
just passed by?
Are they really gone
or
am I caught up in
illusion... . . .

Kitten intently studies the feeding birds
from the safety behind the screen door
She trills, unobserved, tail twitching with ears
pointing straight up
Gorgeous Black Cat
She has no name, this little . . .

What if a feather lit upon my shoulder
sticking there
Joined by a hundred others,
Could I finally ride on air?
What if a tear from our Madonna
dropped into my eye
Would I be blessed and for all of humanity . . .

You speak
I inhale your mouth...
supple lips moving,
your words I do not hear.
Your eyes
pools of wonder
I wish to dive in
as
you speak,
I do not hear
your words.
As in a dream
you smile
pearly teeth . . .

I long to be held
Husband
pay attention to me
I know you love me
there is never a doubt
Yet you are a busy man
I love you
you are my heart's desire
I'd hold you if you'd let me
I know you . . .

Barberton, Ohio is known as The Chicken Capital of The World.
Seriously.
Why? Because Barberton Chicken tastes so damn good! Is it in the raising of the chicken? The seasoning? . . .

Running feet jump and hold on

Reaching out, my love alighting
a thousand butterflies pleasuring you.....
Do you feel me?
I blow a whisper through you hair
tasting your ear as I sing
Can you hear me?

Heron swoops up
flies home
Beaver comes up for air
Fireflies flicker in time to
peepers and crickets
You lay me down
by the river
on the soft clover grass
Summer's scent in you hair as you
Kiss . . .

King of Odes (to love)..... inspired by the poetry of Spencer T.
King of Odes
Strokes with his pen
She's sighing
Whispers again
She's melting
King of Odes
Passionate one
She's spellbound . . .
