Catfish reeled
Flops gasping on deck
Ship hands watch…
Fish eyes stare….
Captain pierces catch with spear
Tops off chum bucket

Prelude to The Haymaker

Lightning flash shoves cloudhaiku
Swirling wind scythes foam, sea roars
Thunder booms kick start

The Human Drive

Posted in Poetry with tags , , , , , on July 10, 2019 by dustus

I’ll sit & watch…
The smooth gentle sway
Of dune grass ruffled wind
Feel old fear
Melt through waves
—Warming blood & skin

I sense the ocean calling here
That conscience sound within
A love that seldom seems to fly
When driven to just live

Target of Crossfire

Hurricane like bombhaiku
Razed home we found, framed, & wired
—In tent bullets rain

Twerk Interrupted

Posted in Poetry with tags , , , , , , , , , , on June 26, 2019 by dustus

Drunk girl slips
Mid-twerk on bartop
—Grinding halts.
Patrons gawk…
Her get up sloppy, mocked, filmed⁠—
She rumpshakes unphased!
