Someone commented a few days ago that they liked my poetry. They wanted me to publish more. Well, I thought I might have already published this one. Not sure. So, here it is (again?):
Bar Fight Flirtations.
Me, the contradiction.
Goodness tainted by desire,
Nervous, graceless brush with your silence.
And my pseudo-conversations
(That you found obnoxious).
my lost soul
Fleeing the numb exhaustion of rejection
Ravaged by desire,
Washed with sleep,
the little death,
Then stricken with more tragic love.
Drowning, only then to drift hopelessly away.
Unremembered.

About Me
- David
- Columbia River Gorge, Oregon , United States
- I am evolving. After 50 years of working, I finally retired in January, 2021. We currently live in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. I had lived in southern California with my wife and kids for 25 plus years. In June, 2014 my daughter accepted a job with a university in Oregon. My wife, began to worry that she would not see her daughter too much. Luckily, (ha ha) I was laid off from my job, making me free to move wherever I wanted. Over the course of several months, and several hundred resume's and applications, I secured a job in the Portland, Oregon area. We are now close to my daughter and are able to see her more frequently. It is truly a blessing. Our continuing journey has taken us to the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, in the little town of Cascade Locks (what a wonderfully historic place this is). Here on this little collection of essays and interests I try to capture life. I try not to get political. Sorry, but I have opinions, and sometimes they sneak in. I don't ask that you agree with them, but I have reached them after 50+ years of thought and observations.
