David McLansky Poems

He sat in his old rusting truck
Feeling his age, and out of luck;
To his daughter-in-law
An impossible burden
...

In the night time
That very first time
Did I frighten you
As I hovered over you
...

One must forget
The taste of your skin
The salt of my tears
Spread hot and thin;
...

They dress in furs
And leather coats;
They mingle with
'The better folks, '
...

Lock up all your husband folks,
Julie's on the prowl;
Testing them with little pokes,
Making them her pal;
...

How to fight the self-destructive?
Let us pause to be deductive;
Their planned attack? To be assaulted,
Wishing you to be then faulted;
...

I, alone, now in my craft,
Beyond all care
Of jealous wrath,
Write my thoughts
...

Body It always pays to advertise,
...

An old veteran in love's wars,
Bruised and battered,
My heart still sore;
My joints all creaking,
...

Our oldest
Intact human corpse,
Dead by murder,
Why, of course!
...
