2 New Poems

Lord, so much time between posts... Bad poet blogger!!  Well, there was some busy-ness to blame.  And also the week where I was laid up with bronchitis - coughing on the couch listening the Mets lose on the radio for days...  I wrote two bronchitis-themed poems, but I will spare my readers from them.  Here are two that I *hope* have more merit...

Full Moon Spring

Full moon drops its needle
on the record of my dreams
and lusty angst plays over on repeat.
Full moon drops its needle
on my unmarked skin
and carves a sweet song
that my voice can’t sing.
Moon filled up and rose last night
so winter fell away
now trees are bursting buds
and morning’s air
is breathing damp and hot.
Oh how the seasons stir
our blood and branches
we pulse and photosynthesize
in nature’s time.


Of Mouths and Mice

My great hungry mouth consumes it all
such appetite, I breathe gently so
I don’t rip flowers from their stems
I speak softly and say little
so I don’t disturb the trees -
Oh who could handle me if I
crushed mountains with my thunder
or sneezed a careless deadly tidal wave?
Sometimes I feel like I’m a fearsome giant       
who just wants to be loved by paper mice.

    I write and perform poetry.  I have been published on many websites and print publications at various times throughout my life. I live in NYC where I also create as an actor. Acting projects make me forget that I'm a poet for long stretches of time.  But I mean to work on that here: I'll be posting old poems, new poems, and everything in between. Thanks for visiting.  Enjoy!
