Untitled (Tonight, Hope)

Bombs in Baghdad.

Bombs in Boston.

Darkness will forever

be dark, without light.

Hate will forever be

hate, without love.

Drunk Acrostic

Because is a perfectly good word to start a sentence with

and not just because I want too, but

Eventually after drinking I begin to think

            and speak in subordinate clauses, but always

End my subordinate clause with a comma

            then finish with the sentences main clause.

Ready for another round?

Now I’m speaking in fragments…

Moose Potholes

fresh corduroy runs

parallel to my skis

were not the first

to scrape the cold

face of the white

carpet today

a hoofed beast

perforated the

otherwise perfect

stream of snow

then became lost

in the endless

boreal birch jungle
