Show Poem: May 2, 2016 / Lawrence, KS  @ The Bottleneck 


Head open up like a clam
A huge beam of light
coming out the top

Sick pigeon on the loading dock.
I want to help
but I fear disease 

I stop blaming nature
For cruelty 

I stand still
Watch real close 

I feel the flock mourning 

The flock is patient
When it’s safe 

Living from one peck on the head
To the next 

Life by a thousands pebbles in the gut 

Surviving between mating calls
Prolonging the dance 

Mother mountain climber
Lordess of the dance class

The crunch of breakfast
Is the tap of your toe 

The pack devours you
Insert the message 

Bring us food
Bring us food 

Empanada sentences
The truth inside words 

Show Poem… No one is a frozen wave / Sat. Nov. 7/ Mills Records KC,MO #Poetry

Woke up not thinking.
What’s in your pussy?
Hands inside.
Fingers like sky scrapers
Poking through the clouds.
Back pocket full of wanting.
Hair creeping out from beneath
Pancake panties
Hot black coffee straps
Burn a path
From the house to the lawn.
You’ll never feel better
Until you admit that there’s anger

The ghost of a cat
Teaches us to individualize
Our restraint protocls
To love ourselves
Properly
Trusting the beat.
Hanging out after the show.
We all understand the pain
Behind every note
The dots connect
Where the love is
That is where
We all have our sides
In plain sight.
No one is a frozen wave

Show Poem… You define human strength / Oct. 17 Witch Bitch / miniBar/ KC, MO #Poetry

What a difference
A beautiful lampshade makes
An old feather duster
Drop of oil in a hot pan

A slave to your bodies
Unique tools

The last wishes
Of dying men

You define human strength
A mother of nature
Child to the future

There are riches never dreamed of
Gold in places long forgotten

Hair in the wind
We face it holding hands
Hairy hands holding the wind

The dick bone
of a dead white whale
Stirring the pot

The mead of green vegetables
The red broth stews inside
Like lava underground

From this pot
We will feed many
