Tracks of the Behemoth
Life was born in the desert
but death came out of the sea
walking on all fours, breathing the air
—killing that never to be

Within the Contained Behemoth
"Within the Contained Behemoth"
we think we travel
strange universes
in our planetary
reconnaissance devices,
transporting initial
contact communication
for exporting
potential new lives
for resettlement,
perhaps we are the
internal world
of God,
we are
the good
and the bad
of an otherwise
invisible being,
a central life source
we cannot see for dreaming,
because
we are
part
of the internal sum
immersed
in

Gone From a Behemoth
It was in the night
this the time and place
though I still don't know why..
such a night as this
I decided to be out.
Would it be elsewhere and yet
none taking..
for her, a quirky girl
left little to doubt
within range of
a vast aching.
Along the hedgerow, thickly
grown
and not much less
than eight feet in height.
Beyond the dark an

Inter-Parliamentary Union Ipu
On June 30th 1889
one hundred and thirty-two years ago
In the ambiance of Continental Hotel Paris
Two visionary Parliamentarians
And men of peace
English Man William Randal Cremer
And French Man Frédéric Passy
In furtherance of their goal for peace
And arbitration through cooperation
And Dialogue
Mid-wifed an Association of
parliamentarians
Which has metamorphosed
Into global organization
Of National parliaments

Behemoth Sniveling
The Ogre took a body blow,
tumbling to the ground.
He enlisted the forces of government,
the regime he always labeled “deep state.”
Blubbering, he sat there, enlisting Department of Justice lawyers

Bubeleh Bride Ballooned Into Behemoth
Fifty nine inch tall wife
once willowy wisp
postmenopausal galloping gourmandiser
playboy centerfold girly
figure ain't no mo,'
which superfluous weight deterrent,
love life yours truly
took Kamikaze nosedive
arousing, exciting, stimulating...
as romancing the stone statue,
but seen thru Tom
gobbler beady eyes
butterball babe resembles hottie
female turkey on steroids without feathers,
spouse already qualifies as Hen pecker
not admirable characteristic
to encourage physical intimacy
whew, which allows this

Behemoth
Big. Think big. Dream big. Hear me? Big!
Entertain infinite possibilities and
High hopes in this journey called life
Elephantine dreams over small ones, always
Mountains! Oh, mountains...you gotta move em'
Opportunities, you must seize them all
The North Star is your friend, let it guide you
Hustle relentlessly, and you'll achieve greatness

Rise Behemoth
Trees like fallen soldiers strewn
Haphazard amid woods, lawns
Sand brine planks:
runes of nature's
colossal force,
brawn.
A vast- avast! the harbored cry
Spiral'd sinews of vapor vaporize
The huddled helpless. Its mocking eye
Rise behemoth,
Unmerciful, rise
Wind:
The battering terror, no defense.
Tidal surge:
Salacious mermaid beached.
One's life regained no recompense.
A safe and further shore unreached.

Tales of the Behemoth
In recent daydreams, I bemused
trekking the wild African plain -
herds of hippoes and elephants
petrifying prey with their might.
Envisioning the behemoth
I recall a story about
behemoth’s strong powerful tail.
So my reverie is confused.
An elephant’s tail I see as
a bottle brush, skinny, floppy.
I had heard, read, or seen somewhere
“the behemoth’s tail sways like a
cedar”
