Snared by temptation
life's jorney can lead you on.....
a path to nowhere.

the parent of a teenager.
Unsure and convinced;
lonely and crowded;
angry and tender.
The housework needs doing –
but you stand here listening.
They are in his dad’s workshop,
talking as men do.
You are alone
with your thoughts.
One day they will call you
something else, but
today, you are
a tender, bruised reed

beneath sheet and cover,
snoring, belching, and mumbling
side-by-side.
They are asleep
in love.
And the fiery beauty and passions --
intoxicants to them both --
matured into
something unnamable.

Something unnamable
matured into
intoxicants to them both.
And the fiery beauty and passions

head bent forward,
clear eyes scanning the wet sand
for that almost invisible treasure
some shark has shed
without a thought.
What was she looking for
when she found me?
How could I still be
that shiny polished point
she sees in morning’s sunlight?

Beads of morning dew
cling to the spider's frail web
like strands of diamonds.

        That only five a.m. can bring
I heard a tone:
        Not quite a note,
        Not quite a rattle,
        But both.

Creeping around
        The dining room at five a.m.
I follow the tone:
        Almost a note

        Calls it Amerika,
Like an adolescent
        Hates her parents
While eating at their table.
        Their imperfections stab
Her tender consciousness
        Until she can stand it no more;
