April Showers

April Showers

through the door she comes
back from a trip
to town.

that special twinkle
in her eye,
when she sees...

ya,
you know the one,
lights up the room...

which allows her
to see,
exactly.

what have you...
been doing
while she was in town.

women have this thing,
about mud on kitchen floors.
all seems natural to me,

the mud on the floor,
that is
course then again i am a guy.

maybe,
if i got it
cleaned up sooner,

all she'd notice
is the rose garden,
weeded.

Chain

Chain


into a puddle

 She melted

   awaiting key lime

 pie tin

at the base

lyrically

  lilting

   laughter

 like so many drops

trickled down

   blurp

    &

     glurp

  dribbled down

 the rain chain

    copper

  proper the

   ebb and flow

of a new

  life’s

   beginning

 in the pelting

rain he still

 advances the search

   food for thought

  denied a soulful

connective

  tissue

    starving at the fringes

   irrationality imposing

 a clarity of

mired thought

  exercises

    in you

   makes me smile

 like the drops wending

  down the rain chain
