This time I concede
I don’t know what I’m doing.
I yield to blind chance.

That tarot card again…

If I hide my light
in a bush, behind a screen,
it’s because of fear-
not of blindness, but
because light burns out!  And I
am afraid of dark.

Tattoo
Pain makes memory.
It’s time again to inscribe
where I’ve been, will go.

A year comes around.
I come up somewhat short, but
have plenty of change.

Once during the storm
an inner window slammed shut
yet I still feel cold

my walk has a name –
city stroll — a pace unlike
any other place

and then i will eat it
miniature chard
magenta-stemmed and fragile
i will help it grow

age marks my body:
innocuous and subtle
lines – dry river beds

etched on paper – trap
the still-firm flesh of fingers
that will someday wilt

May’s dense, brooding skies
Threaten to cleanse this mean filth:
Philadelphia.
