Love Is
Love is
And I am.
A feeling
A commitment
The border between honesty
And fantasy.
Hands linked on a porch
Tears in a funeral
Sex in the park.
Love is
And I am.

Nobody Cries Alone
When someone cries
The grief floats into our common ether
Our hearts sync up
As we inhale
Allowing their id to permeate our beings
Filling us with the empty of our brother
Making holes in our skin
Where Our humanity seeps from us
Leaving us barren and impotent
Mere Rocks in the desert.

Santa Fe Texas
10 lay dead
It’s the same old story
But it’s not
Shotgun and 38
Sins from the father, guns unlocked
Bombs a la carte
Two policemen on staff
Good guys with guns, still 10 dead
A disconnected young male
A black trench coat
A barrier not crossed
Between them and him.
A lone white male
His dark side bubbling up
The new forgotten
As hate brewed
Until the Them became Us
