Which God shall I pray to today
It all depends on how I fee
And which one gives the better deal.....

IN DECEMBER 2000 WE SAID I DO

In the haze , of a dimly lit dance floor.
Swayed a couple who were madly in love,
They had met at a wedding,
Knew the way they were heading,
But fate had in mind another way,
Certainly not a quick role in the...

The people inthe world are behaving like insects
they all 7 billion of them want more
they all use the insectnet
they all think sex is the greatest thing
the beatles buddy holly and the crickets adam and the ants
needless to say they are the most successful species on...

Windhoek, 2000

Nabucodonosor! thou shouldst be living at this epoch:
Namibia hath desire of thee: she is a quagmire
Of quiet rainwaters: slab, blade, and cage,
Inglenook, the courageous fortune of manor and retreat,
Have sacrificed their primeval culture talent.

But those who came before us will teach us. 
They will...

BLACKY - 2000-2012

just a big black cat
but a wonderful black cat
diagnosed cancer
did i weep for our blacky?
yes    and i wept for myself  

he was family
ate at table just like us
cheered our early morn
greeted visitors at door
asked no favor in return

patient as...

2,000 Miles Away

Sooner than expected, my dear mother died at the age of 70 in 1998;                 and I, the distant one, was 2000 miles away.
My oldest sister died after...

Childhood memories,making camps upon the moors
 wriggling through the bracken deep,
Making paths to our secret den.
Climbing trees,and falling too!
Moss on stones, glistening sun on stepping stones,
Swimming in the river...with a shiver.

Roly poly down the hill, walking through the woods.
Daisy chains, primroses and bluebells in the...

Ode to Harris

So they showed you
the politics of poetics
showed you how to sculpt
quotations
as if discreetly yours

sure-e-e... 

they told you of your godhood
at Harvard
but they crucified you at Rowan Tree

like the wax flow of candles
making mountains on 
unblemished parchment

Its 2017 and my odyssey is far from begun. 
Nearly ending every yearlings dwindling 
Found above ground without Mona Lisa's lungs.
Without air is mortality. 
Anything else is air mortality. 
Painted on a picture is a mural on a bar stool room wall. Blank faces stare...

The Good Artist:  Carl Barks
(1901-2000)
(for Donald Duck)

The wry old enchanter wove dreams
For the thousands of children now grown,
Immortal fun enjoyment that seems
The dearest that we’ve ever known.

He took us to everywhere fun
Atlantis—the moon—at top speed
And now his last pages are done
We read and re-read...

You feel restricted from the world,
detatched from reality.
In a sense of the word, freak comes to mind,
craziness is what you see.

Scattered thoughts run through your head,
thinking to yourself, "What's wrong?"
Not knowing what to do, where to turn, or how to fix it,
trying like h*ll to...

Fronts

Has coldness 
jarred this rain to life?
or warming earth 
given it motion?
do leaves have a season to fall
or does the earth just need
a blanket in the winter?
Leaves are sprouts again
Spring
having no real reason to ponder
warming earth
just to go outside,
playfully hold intellectual conversations
with freshly sprouted tulips
should...

2000 friends on your Facebook profile 
something is missing from your life 
a hole within empty for miles
something nice you’d really like

social approval keeps you cool
a mountain of people met once
stalkers and perverse fools
10 friends the rest punks

My hands count those who matter the most
your...

As the odometer had read that day, nine seventeen seventeen
Least in my head, but not knowing really what it would mean
Then after a few weeks passed it clearly came into such light
For that's when the votes will be cast, by evening on that night

Here on...

Aries child.
Set to burn.
Undressed,
Revealed. 
Stuck constant, 
Like stars.
Placed in blue, 
Deeper shades.
Exposed, 
Alone,
Afraid.
Lost in poetry.
Spoken in verse.
Broken heart, 
Was mine.
Lost in space.
Dark ,
Sealed.
Only comfort;
Being unknown....
