POEMS

Lazarus  2010 Jan 20  "How can we endure it?" asks Bob Cratchit in Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol. Perhaps the only answer to that is to look to the one who refused to endure it.

Dear Earth  2008 Dec 14  The creation of myth, both the true and that which only reflects what is true, is as natural as the earth itself. So why, then, is it not happening today?

Sweet Thing  2008 Aug 29  What lies beyond the grave for Allen may seem at first the gift of purity and innocence ...

The Lovers  2008 Aug 21  Shuffling past an open coffin evokes observations of all sundry mourners who have come for one last chance to feel connected.

Dirty Words  2003 Sep 04  The knife made dull by way of overuse. [Published in Verbatim, Winter 2005.]


SAMPLES FROM CURRENT

Current by A M SirianoSound and Video  2004 Oct 16  The only remnant of Harriett's existence is an ragged sales tag, serving as a bookmark, in an old volume of Somerset Maugham. But did she finish the book or succumb to the allure of television?

Somme  2003 Sep 29  The inhabitants of Heaven were used to the fresh arrival of earth's refugee's, but perhaps not the numbers released during World War I.

When Toughs Collide  2003 Sep 29  On my way home from school, minding my own business, only to be confronted by a large and belligerent obstructionist ... Thank God for Ernie.

Rose and Berry  2003 Sep 22  Outside my study two plants are wildly intertwined, inspiring both gardener and lover.
