in an ornate dam
she tries to tame a cascade
her hair tied in clutch
tethered triumphs sit smugly
head and shoulders above rest
The realm of reliability
has entered the realm
of reliability
our relationship
I weave new dreams – you promptly
unravel to disclose strings
Futile
futile trying to
defend a line drawn on sand
just as it is quite
senseless to close your fist to
stem the flow of sand through it

separating kids
from families at border
is it justified
will some common sense prevail
will humanity survive

does not entice me
lifestyle of celebrities
nor adulation
I long for a simple life
far beyond the ballyhoo

artichokes and anchovies

for me plain jane any day
just like my Margherita

do not always work
crystal clear consolations
to unsuspecting heart
poor thing cannot understand
it was never meant to be
Morphing into magma
hell hath no fury
like a woman truly scorned
pay her a close heed
you don’t want her unshed tears
a morphing into magma
