The Secret of the Mortician
Dead, but I got eyes
Prepares my body at the morgue
Opens the chest
Drains the blood from its nudity
Admires my body before it decays
After The process of embalming
His hands run all over
I'm still dead
He's satisfied
The next day
Writes an outstanding obituary
I sit on display

The Color Missing
Red, black, and blue are the colors of our work pens. Red is the color of the blood we spill on other people’s mistakes. Blue is the color of the songs we sing on tax forms or pay stubs- every page has a secret melody. Black is the color of the streets we fear most. Black is the color of our signature of approval. Black is the color of our death.
‘But what about the Green pens?’ I ask. They say ‘the ink is too hard to see.’

death, jobs, school,
Once I had a good job with the government,
it paid well and was secure,
but it was boring.
Hated it,
so much.
decided,
to go back to school,
and that I would be a nurse.
It took a lot of guts to leave a good job.
I got a student grant and worked nights part-time.
Studied very hard each day,
hard to pay bills,
but made it,
at last.
Now I work in a job that is heartbreaking,
I help the dying old die,
die with dignity.
It is not,
easy.
I gained a job that takes guts to face each day.

Poem about Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
Oh; it's spring in Sudbury
and the city wakes up.
There's a start of engines
and the day looks up.
You head out on the highway.
You're moving along.
Then a clunk by the wheel well
means your day's going wrong.
It's Spring here in Sudbury.
Construction going on.
It will last the whole year
and the road remains gone.

two crossed scraping shovels
lifelong employment
they dig a large hole
occupant won’t see their work
yet pays final bill

anger, grief, jobs, loss,
On Thursday you're a valued employee
on Friday you're shown the door
Last week you worked for a company
that today exists no more
It's a corporate takeover
a brutal, hostile makeover
Your heart tosses, turns and aches over
the coals your efforts get raked over
A voice deep within gnaws at your skin
The pit of your stomach a knot of chagrin
~ Why is it always like this, for God's sake,
quake over
earth-shattering quake-over?

11th grade, grief, jobs, loss, love,
Love's winds were at their crest
when you lost your job.
We did our part; God did the rest;
then our home was robbed.
The winds blew raw; love passed the test.
When the autumn wind is kind
it blows you to my lips;
Winter's wind can bite and grind,
yet our kiss is not eclipsed.
All year long, love's on our mind.
Springtime winds can bless or curse
as true love's flag we hoist.
Through good times and through worse,
in summer's hurricane, rejoice,
day by day, in love immersed.

allegory, eulogy, jobs, work,
Trailing steel cans
and rolling out their
long rags.
The morning is a frost
broken in clamorous relief.
Frayed holes in their eaten
gloves carry a crushed chore,
a rotted job bundled in skins
of wet plastics.
They emerge from a deep
hidden hour
riding the back jaws
of neglected mammoths.
A storm hammers
in the scrape of their tongues.
The dogs lunge
for their voices.
They remove what lingers too long
from our past.
