Room for One More
Wednesday, September 7, 2011 12:15 PM



The maggots feast
And the worms dance
Such an empty space
To fill with rot.

The sour taste of a life
Fulfilled turns them away
Disgusted by the thought
Of happiness.

To the next unholy victim
The vacancy sign bright
The shell opens its arms wide
Welcoming the company

Open for business
But business is down
And even the perverse maggots
Keep looking for a five star stop

all at a one star price

Trinkets from the Past
Sunday, November 28, 2010 2:52 PM
There once was a girl
Who worried too much.
Her delicate nerves
Were bundled in a bunch.
She would fret and fright,
Feign and frown,
Certain she had let
Someone down.
When the dark nights
Would slip into days,
She spent her time
Counting the ways
She would say yes,
When she meant no
And taking the road high
While her heart felt low.
She dreaded the day
Trinkets from the past
Kept her company
Forgotten, at long last.

Clair de Lune
Wednesday, June 2, 2010 5:51 PM

Clair de Lune, written by Paul Verlaine

Votre âme est un paysage choisi
Que vont charmant masques et bergamasques
Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi
Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques.

Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur
L'amour vainqueur et la vie opportune,
Ils n'ont pas l'air de croire à leur bonheur
Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune,

Au calme clair de lune triste et beau,
Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres
Et sangloter d'extase les jets d'eau,
Les grands jets d'eau sveltes parmi les marbres.

Your soul is like a landscape fantasy,
Where masks and Bergamasks, in charming wise,
Strum lutes and dance, just a bit sad to be
Hidden beneath their fanciful disguise.

Singing in minor mode of life's largesse
And all-victorious love, they yet seem quite
Reluctant to believe their happiness,
And their song mingles with the pale moonlight,

The calm, pale moonlight, whose sad beauty, beaming,
Sets the birds softly dreaming in the trees,
And makes the marbled fountains, gushing, streaming--
Slender jet-fountains--sob their ecstasies.
