As I sit
here at dusk
watching the last
shards of day
disappear behind mountains
and night come
to the city
I am reminded
that this was
your favorite time
when you said
the world turns
its attention solely
on welcome back
how was your
day without me

Cocktail
Finally at last
I have learned
that you are
my favorite cocktail
because you have
both shaken and
stirred me moments
before you land
upon my lips
and make me
forget about everything
Marley’sChains
And sitting here
sitting here knowing
knowing and thinking
why and what
why do what
did and now
just sitting here
feeling the bottom
drop out from
just about everything
and then this
gnawing persistent idea
keeping me anchored
to my chair
pride I think
like Marley’s chains
knowing that five
steps two turns
one bedroom door
away is you
Meaning (to Juicy)
Words have
no meaning
as they
are but
letters just
as things
have no
meaning as
they were
once an
idea made
real people
make things
have meaning
in order
for themselves
to have
Different
Being different doesn’t
mean being better
it means empathy
an understanding that
things are similar
and things aren’t
it’s the gap
the place where
flute overtakes drums
where song replaces
concern and even
where love supplants
animosity being different
is being candle
in dark rooms
