[the mingo]

the poems of Izumi Shikibu
surround me
pointing accusatory fingers
at my dullness

[judih]

someone sings
a voice that tears the heart
wish it was mine

[judih]

theory to trial
investigate data
tea grows cold

[judih]

after a deep sleep
uncoil body
realign mind

[still.trucking]

red dawn with a thousand bird's
singing "frog went a courtin"
my tenuous sanity

"first days are the hardest..."

[the mingo]

woke up
and began to feed
on sunlight

[zero_hero]

woke to darkness
brewed some coffee
Sunday morning TV Ritual

Laurel and Hardy in black and White
next thing I noticed was dawn sky
and a bird chorus to the rising sun

[the mingo]

whatever you do in life
don't hit
the delete button by mistake

[zero_hero]

no mistake's serious
if it ain't permanent
frail old man contemplates his fork

[judih]

stammer and stab
angry diner
salad on the wall

[the mingo]

Holy Jesus Chrysler!
over the top, boys & girls!
salad on the ceiling!

[stilltrucking]

tremor and stab
herky jerky lunch
my shirt front a jackson pollock

[judih]

a whole lotta hours
questions and doorways
my day begins

[stilltrucking]

progress bar is slow
hour glass twirls
waiting for Godot

inertial guidance stalled
I can't stand the silence
help help me rhonda...

life choice at eight
a precocious child
I choose to live

[jackofnightmares]

sometimes its heaven
sometimes its hell
sometimes I dont even know

sometimes the light is
other times I can hardly see


sometimes I take it
as far as I can
sometimes I dont even go

live it
write it
be it
