I open my email and what do I see?
Nothing from the Nudelman house,
Are they spurning me?
Day after day, night after night...
Did I say something wrong??

Green bottles
Now gathered
Jostle in the net
Below the seat
That once carried you
With your striped socks,
Your pointed hat,
Chin slumped downward
Rocked asleep by the
Unsteady consistency
Of rolling wheels . . . more

I saw fire blaze in his eyes.
I put out the fire.
Holy book in my hands.

If it's beauty that we're after
It's in the love and laughter
Of playing children
Flowers, pets
In hugs and smiles
The sun that sets
All free and widespread
Heaven bound
In parks and . . . more

Sweater
Cables defense
From neckline to waistline
A lamb's wool protection for you
Warm on that high granite outcrop, laughing,
Suddenly serious, watching
Condors lift from aeries
You clutch . . . more

It's clear here
underneath star-lit skies
No moon, no you
Just myself, alone
Funny isn't it
what happens between us
in the space only lovers know . . . more

When an old lady died in the geriatric ward of a small hospital near Dundee Scotland, it was believed that she had nothing left of any value.

It is a sunny yet frigid day, here in Upstate New York.
"It is time to get up Dad" she says. Still licking her breakfast fork.
I watch her from the bathroom window, . . . more

The wind blows my dreams
To all corners of my mind
Floating free
Tormenting me
Holding me back from all that could be
You're there
Calling to me . . . more

The mysteries of the stars are kept
In files of immense singularity,
Just as one thought of you and me
Would fill up all the spaces of my mind
Am I a mystery to you?
You are a must to me!
How may we . . . more

The bench sits alone.
The young lovers who met there
have aged,
trading in park time for porch-sitting.
The bench remembers
how they used to come walking,
hand-in-hand out of the woods,
each step light . . . more

He bestow to me a child in part,
I wholly gave my fairest heart
Yearning of my soul, please don't whither now,
Unborn child a gift. . . . more

My little green bar slowly creeps to the right.
Much clicking signifies my computer's will to fight.
Did it send, refresh, or load?
Must I try again or will it explode?
Don't . . . more

There were five empty chairs
At this table
Many more in this café
But I sat next to you.
I needed to sit near someone today.
You were here,
You were that someone.

I didn't know you'd be something to miss
Stored Away, returned on the whisper of the wind
The memory of one perfect kiss
The deliciousness of young love floods my brain
Rain washes over my . . . more

His breathing; fast
Head resting on the floor
His whiskers; white
Purrs; waiting at the door
With his paws he hugs me
With his eyes he loves me
Trusting with his life, his soul
At heart . . . more
