Poems from the Urban Landscape

City Poetry

City Verses

 

Seasons crowd together at the end of the year.

Fall colors choke shallow pools.

***

The lease expired on the economy,

on one wants that old borrowed, busted, broken down

thing any more.

The rust belt rusted away.

***

Sliding past steel giants.

Creeping toward sunrise.

***

Into the spin cycle.

A line of cars hung out to dry in the damp air.

***

The world’s on sale and nobody’s buying.

***

The weeds know when to come

even if the customers don’t.

***

A discarded carnival.

All bright lights and no people.

***

The sky has fallen for the last time.

Now there nothing for it except to swim for your life.

***

Watching the Skeleton Rise in the Setting Sun

 

Sliding Down the Concrete Groove like a Pinball

 

Concrete Shores on an Asphalt Sea

Dictionary of Dreams

Racing for the Sunrise under an Electric Moon

 

It is near dawn and I have just been shot out of a cannon

A typical commute,

paying some Spaniard

for the right and privilege to drive 80 miles an hour through the heart of Dallas.

The tollways takes its toll as speeding commuters squirt out onto surface streets

like steel blood loss under sodium vapor lamps burning mercury.

I rose up 18 floors into the executioner’s song of a sunrise.

On the way to pour hot caffeine directly into my veins

I peer out through the fleeting dark at a jeweled city

rising from slumber.

Giant buildings eat people disgorged from buses

only to spit them out again when the day done.

A Catchment full of Moonlit Water

 

A misty river in a mossy vale

A catchment full to the brim of moonlit water

Lichen covered boulder worn smooth by time and water

Knee deep in the dragonfly grasses

Barren beach on a cold lake

Ribbed dry bones of the earth

a place of water ages past but  alas, it flows no more

Staccato cliffs like shattered bones and broken teeth

Twisted shoals mired in milky mist
