Pig


Lattice criss-crosses                      
back and forth, passing                   
more than air, but him                   
too if he’d only                                
fit between gated
holes, surrounded by 
slanted laths marking

A life.     
Lying hopelessly
in the slop, gazing
out of each diamond,  

distraught, alert, and disturbed,
Pig weeps at the green
vistas of plenty
seen before he dies.

A Bridge Collapses

I waited on the cobble stone bridge
like you asked,
but you never came.

I stood there
alone in the blistering cold
and stared, imagining spring
flowers blooming from the ice,
but you never came.

I walked on
a nearby park path
every few days, 
only hoping you'd be here,
but you never came.

Today,
I stopped.
Like taking a skipping
record off a turntable,
I'd quit. Sitting
uneasy on a concrete
park bench,
I stretched my mind
into a spiraling mental tunnel.
I sat in my conscious world,
thoughtful and hopeful,
but you never came. 

Today,
I'll pass that bridge
for the last time.
Yellow leaves
scatter the ground,
instead of veering
for another gaze, I shuffle
the lying leaves. 
I march forward,
but you never come.

Like a child fearfully
gripping a mother's hand
at the top of roller coaster,
I keep thinking,
"Here we go!”
I should've walked
long ago and let that bridge
fall.

Surgery

It's like stepping up to a golf ball.  A white glove grips my left hand and an 8 iron dangles in my right. I slowly screw my tee into the moist ground. I place the white ball upon it. I think of the possibilities of what could go wrong when I strike the ball. I aim. I breathe. I think: back straight, arm straight, mind straight. I exhale. I swing. Then watch and wait, like hearing that sharp drone and waiting for the flat line to waver so I don't have to say, "I'm sorry, but there were complications."
