the first song I ever heard
was not listened to with ears
the rhythmic beat of your heart
was the melody I danced to…
…the whoosh of life blood, my lullaby
my heart learned the harmo...

AFRICA'S SACRED ARK

...Soon,
The sacred black ashes and dark disfigured, but resilient bones of our enslaved, enraged and estranged ancestors, 
Will awake from their centuries of dazed, polluted and denigrated slumber, t...

Watching a Worm

...The nematode, only oms
And then of course, noms
And munches, 
without, really 
munching much at all.
No teeth.

Ah.
To move in the mulch.
a thicket
of touch

knowing where or,

had a tattoo

In a collision of eras,
her ponytail flew

As innocence skipped,
the ink started to run

A bastardized image
—of time overrun

(Villanova Univer...

The Bones

...Would you have me burn?
because you hate the sight of my bones
The peaks, valleys, and creases of my form
prove to be too much for your eyes
Runaway child
Run back to the night
Hide until you c...

Oga At the Top

...Oga at the top
Then you open your mouth
Like bullfrog in the muddy pool of your career
In the myopia of your great vision
You vomited manifesto which we in turn swallow
To provide jobs for those...

Eden of Days

...weep inside of time's futility
correctly abandoned my brilliant failure
slowly bleach the vines so further pure
reach the rivers outside the withered cure
bathe a thoughtless lies upon inked blac...

The Jilted Muse

...A better critic
  than writer…

Your tongue sharpens,
  as your pen hacks

Bastardized on the altar
  of cold description

Disavowed by the jilted Muse,
 —ink bleeding red

(Villanova Pen...

A Facade

...I saw a façade
And knew it was never God
To treat me that way

Talents have mastered
In a form that was bastard
Had been a hazard

Form was bastardized
When is when I realized
Was Trumpatiz...

Bureaucracy

...Bundle of rules elongating the short distance between a problem and its solution
Unnecessary layers compulsorily placed on a mounted ladder with very few steps
Road expectedly ...

Getting There

my reality has been 'bastardized'
by my own refusal 'subconsciously'
to accept and be accountable,
for what I wrongly thought I was,
for who and what I ...

Stock

...

			Stock

Lines derail trains made from stern stock
    shunting worsted words in wagons to and fro
cabins depleted by looters piled on dock
    signals distressed faces not any more
