Candle (for Dewayne)

01/30/2021 ~ Harlan Didrickson

And there on

A road I

Saw a candle

Lit window aflicker

After my long

Journey past empty

Houses a light

Drew me there

And a stranger

Greeted me one

That became a

Friend and lover

And that one

Simple candle has

Never gone out

AloneBed

01/29/2021 ~ Harlan Didrickson

And then now

The world asleep

The moon slides

Like coins in

A phone box

Behind late winters

Sullen clouds I

Awake to find

The bed warm

But you gone

Your cars paw

Prints scratched into

Nighttime snow fall

Trailing into darkness

And disappearing ghostedly

Into skeleton trees

As my bed

Now cools alone

Chicken (for Ali)

01/29/202101/29/2021 ~ Harlan Didrickson

And there you

Stood next to

Me beer in

Hand the smoke

From the barbecue

Rising between us

Like steam locomotives

At the Bahnhof

Caught staring you

Leaned through the

Smoke kissing me

Causing me to

Ignore our dinner

Now charred and

Brittle burned chicken

Over

01/29/2021 ~ Harlan Didrickson

I tried I

Tell you I

Really did try

But you are

Like a plastic

Bag heat sealed

Impossible to open

So instead I

Grip and rip

Try to pull

And yank apart

Until you explode

A pipe bomb

Of pelting emotion

Shards and shrapnel

All over me

Making me bleed

The words it

We are over

Flame (to You)

01/28/2021 ~ Harlan Didrickson

And then there

A voice a

Wave a howdy-doo

Trailed by laughter

Like a long

Lit fuse which

Crackled and popped

And exploded causing

People to turn

You stood there

Chagrin rolling in

Like nighttime tides

The crimson bleached

Your face as

Hands cupped mouth

The immediacy of

Embarrassment is the

One single thing

That drew me

Like a moth

To your flame
