half life half work ha
lf aware
in half light
everyone else
is whole
and whole hearted
half heartedly
half inclined
to half agree
half heavy
half hurt
half sore
half cry
half in love
half in hate
all by halves
half life
is a game
of two halves
half assed
half a job
with half a heart
half an eye
on others
half a mind
half drugged
half drunk
half man
half woman
half old
half young
half breath
half blood
half skin
half angel
half demon
half bothered
half believe
half a home
half a bed
half alone
half want
half wish
half need
half laugh
half smile
half frown
half hope
half desire
half death
is half truth
…and I flinch at

White Elephants Need Colouring In
Restore my faith in what note,
as I climb the stairs
of arboreal crustaceans of words
mouthed through the clear glass
of the winter gardens
as I chow down on my flat earth pizza,
see kids wander with parents
finding white elephants
under the tropical shrubbery,
and paint their designs
on the elephant, name him,
so it is all displayed
beneath the clear glass
arches for a children’s hospital
charity. O, how my words fail.
