IMAGE OF EARTH AND QUILL

Muscular Pain

All hearts are this, she said - quietly revealing
Mine will break yours, flexing and heaving 

************************************************
Movie, Movie!

Horror movie@midnight
goosebumpling dumpling delight

************************************************
Brother Peace (1)

6am tennis thumps darklit dawn
Muscle, ozone, sweat, jokes - all long gone

************************************************ 

Grandfather Dies

At four in the morning
Gone, without warning

************************************************

Otis Says Jump

In case of fire don’t use the elevator 
Use the stairs
In case of heartbreak
Neither?
