insomnia lifts

its petty bureaucrat head

insists on details

this simple life in

suspended animation:

breathe eat sit repeat

those say, pale stale guys

all have got it so swell? ‘scalled

luck of the Irish

oughtta burn them out

what remaining years, yearnings

oughtta go for– broke

Published translator of verse and original writer of haiku, senryu, lyric, occasional and genre poetry and speculative fiction.
