Carol of the Backup Beepers

Two fire trucks
Backing into the fire station
Each at their own pace
Their backup beepers
At perfect pitch —
Synchronous to start
Slipping out of phase
And into a perfect
Syncopation
In a performance worthy of
Phillip Glass

Cold fire

The light of the moon
is the flame which consumes
the human façade
until all that is left
is the wolf
that’s been waiting within.

Fridays

Bagliere Ronald has been posting some of his photos on his Facebook page, and suggested I post some of my poems. I’ve posted some in the past. Maybe I’ll post some more of them.

Ron has his own blog over at https://rjbagliere.com. Check it out!

Fridays

Fridays must be strong
to hold back the surge
of the restless hordes
who wish it was Saturday already

The Simple Things

He liked the simple things in life.
A pepperoni pizza and a beer.
Soft ice cream on a warm summer night.
Long walks on the beach.
The warmth of a red plaid flannel shirt.
Changing to a wolf and howling under the full moon.
