Windy night

Outside the wind chimes
plead, usually placid
notes wrenching, piercing.

 

House near Woodstock

A’s dream–a fairy
cottage in the woods–simply

Buckingham Fountain

What naiad dances
in your pulsing, surging heart,
calling me to her?

Weed laced with PCP

She turned to cake, felt
herself melting, the devil
eating his way out.

Strangers in a strange town

Our waitress admits
the town has its share of ghosts.
We sleep with lights on.

Insomnia bordering on insanity

Night winds roar like a
giant parent screaming “Go
to sleep!” without words.

Ides of March

‘Beware!’ Caesar was
told. Like teens in horror films
he didn’t listen.

Contemplating midnight urban exploration

We drive to where his
girlfriend’s dad says the haunted
tunnel is. We freak.
