Pirate Thief Poems

Sun-dress blue to evening-cloak black
all in the span of a short whiskey.
White lights
sterile as a surgeon's cut
...

I wish you were here
with the sunlight streaming in,
and jazz.... delicious jazz
thrumming through the overhead speakers.
...

The old park bears the shiny new buildings
with an ungainly grace
like a grandmother
who tolerates the girl's tiarra
...

The Best Poem Of Pirate Thief

Short Whiskey

Sun-dress blue to evening-cloak black
all in the span of a short whiskey.
White lights
sterile as a surgeon's cut
slice the night
through tall buildings
and low street lamps.
The old city wheezes
and the new night inhales
every breath the day will give.
As I sit and listen
to the train cackle,
'clackety-clack, clackety-clack'
and watch as it spits out yesterday's heros
who walk stump-shouldered to their tiny homes
and never notice the blue and black
or the sharp white lights
and never stop to enjoy
the reflective warmth
of a short whiskey.
