Weed laced with PCP

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

Easter

What do bunnies and
chocolate have to do with
a resurrection?

Driving kids to camp

Flat mapped names turn in-
to forested hills, roads wind
towards adventure.

Strangers in a strange town

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

Niagara Falls

Just water on rock.
And yet, sheer power compels
visitors to gape.

Insomnia bordering on insanity

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

Driving home at sunset

Hills like cut paper
black against tissue blue skies.
Through poked holes, stars shine.

Nearing seventeen

Unaware of her
beauty, unselfconsciousness
gives each movement grace.

High school play

Geeks transformed into
leading men stop hearts, but then
revert back next day.

Empire State Building – in the elevator

Tourists whisked to the
top while on tenant floors, one
hears “shhhhhhsss” like secrets.
