sketched from an unusual angle
earlier in the show
until I made a widower of myself
with some passing comment
about that particular piece of art
It was probably a heavy burden to own me
like the back of your hand
and a pedicure pedigree
I climbed over the fence
and lived behind bars
all in one evening
all in one setting

a seahorse is more often seen in death
than in life, struggling with an image problem like that
is something I can’t misconstrue
like the 11nth hour plunge
into the detox carry-out special
or a martyr
looking like you do
cant be fooled by old fellows
and recyclable bins
left lying in the alley
down on their sides
or streaks of light
playing off your features
under the canvas moon

Tomorrow will see the sun rise
and scarves will unravel
under the trickle of the wind
showing that anything
is possible

Ouch. Another reality byte, another dark snapshot, Stephen. Strolling along the boardwalk again?

Absolutely fantastic images and I actually felt I was right there seeing through your eyes, and that is good poetry.  Well done indeed.

                
Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.

Stephen, you are a very strong and powerful
writer. You write with much feeling and emotions. This is the makings of very good poetry.
Thank  you for sharing your work.
