a leg

a severed leg melting in parking spot five.
a veteran’s cartoon plastic.
his loss felt casually from under a car bench.
crackerjacks and aged french fries.
velcro shoes drumming softly overhead.
the story turning for home.

Confetti

1) Drifting streams of delicate paper
2) The softening noise and applause
3) A moment held in suspended color
4) Our laughs tangling at our feet

full sun

FULL SUN
demanded
pointed sky high
yellow holding us hostage
a cheap warning of my failure

A Note on Letters

In short,
your letters are all over the place.
The words are divorced,
the ink wouldn't commit, and
I don't feel much punctuation.
Take pictures, Bob.

Mickey

He makes the rounds for lucky smiles
every part of him an icon
a happy thought endlessly revived
bandaging the stings of childhood
