Garden Party
Turning off
silent
surrounded by
unpleasant sounds
free to get up and move
walk
but walk away
never towards
into that
noose left for me
wisely avoided
flying away into
the sky free
freer
upon entering
the square hole
left open for me
by Eric
who gave me
the most important song
I will ever hear
sparkling blue eyes
smiled
when I said “Thank you”
to him
never waving goodbye
always saying hello.
The Perfect Real Estate
Heat coming out of the ground
wayward feet searching for the
right planet to land on
hopscotch from star to star
which family is the right one to join
not the one where your life
is behind your back
not the one where you
are significantly different
not the one where
they walk on their hands
all day long.
One coming
three going
how many bedrooms
were locked and boarded up
continuous hallways
leading to doorways
of other dimensions
inviting a new resident.
Floating above the
emerald hills down the streets
past open air markets
natural coves where
a private tea party
can be given and
joyous laughter exchanged.
A new school on opening day
completely modernized
with up to date technology
and bright white walls
impressionist art scattered
around here and there
curriculum material inclusive
thought provoking
exploring uncharted regions
of the human mind where
the most welcoming home
has vacancy for
the lost and forlorn
peace and security
watery orbs relegated
far below into the ground
where they belong with death.
