Dom Perignon '61
..."conjoined with the whole
we play our life role
exuding a scent

The Baying Heart
...Standing at his garden door,
he sips moonlight,
smells the closed blooms.
He is amber in a wine vat,
a coagulant of red shadows.
The darkness supports
his bones, it plucks at the stray

Daring the devil to snatch her from clutches of midnight she howls truth

Black Gutters, Painted Ceilings

Dreams Turned into Ashes
...There are many painful pitfalls to happiness,
and no one is immune to misery's tragic tune.
We cry in the night like a wolf baying at the moon,

I have seen the peaks
...I have seen the peaks
Majestic mountains
Flaunting themselves
Before a diminutive sun
Watched a shadow
Snare the radiance of light
Stood before a Cathedral
Surrounded by truth’s beggars

Within the White Noise
...Have you ever pondered
shadows are made of
softness, they are not

...If I took my heart out of its cage
you would think: "ah offal, just meat,
fresh blood if I eat it quickly."

An Ode to Hunting Dogs
...The rolling, hollow, baying sounds cascading from the fen,
'cause there's a bobcat up a tree and the dogs are loose again.
The cat suddenly settles, and the hunting pack goes quiet.
A man whistles...

Peace of Writing In the Night
...Sunday eventide on the slope of the
fire-hued mountain,
owls take flight from the pine boughs,
I'm sitting by an open window,
peace of writing in the night.

As I dash across the fields of intellect, among the

spinning and from thin air
a melody, not...
