Full Of Empty

an empty
barrel of
snow

snow lots and lots of
silence
the occasional footprints of a crow

Trying To Find Sleep

Trying to find sleep
in what was once our bed

I find only
the memory of you

and crying

sleep on the floor.

NOTHING ON (for Janice)

Naked brown lady

running about my mind

running in and out

amongst my thoughts

nothing on my mind

but you

Only Your Love

Inside my dream
I am dreaming
I am dreaming.

A mirror reflecting a mirror reflecting
a mirror.

Only your love
is real.

Emotional Weather Forecast

The warm front
of my laughter

collides with
the cold front of her

silence

I can see there is

stormy weather

ahead.

True To Her Word

Lena Gilbert Ford
yes she who wrote the words

to the immortal
“KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING”

died
in a fire

at
home.
