In this photograph, Arbus lampoons the experience of post-war suburban life. The nuclear family, husband, wife, and child on a suburban lawn in weekend leisure. The couple are separated physically and metaphorically by a table. The child, playing in the background, symbolizes a bridge between his parents.

Human Voices
Human Voices
Form: Free Verse
They wait behind that closed door
concealing those prowling shadows
that whisper in human voices
softly whisper my craven name
with words that curse and crawl
upon the soul
gleaming eyes shimmering dishonesty
clamouring at the door
shambling sinews festering and furtive
twisting and churning
they are familiar yet unfamiliar
sensual mortality draped in immorality
softly whispering the echoes of fear

What’s Love Got to Do With it? (#SoCS)
Inspired by Stream of Consciousness – my thanks to Linda
Prompt: Heart
nothing, that’s what
so what’s it for if not love
here they come
biology lessons
understanding the mechanics
solving the dilemma of
moving blood around the body
blood laden with oxygen
oxygen every part of the body needs
from head to toe and up again
science and nature in action
keeping us alive
all that needs a non-stop pump
the heart
and we thought it was about love
it don’t have time for all that mush
it can’t be broken by words
science says
infidelity don’t kill you
but illogical reactions to it
might
and that is why we need a brain
