No saddle on his withers be
No grazing muzzle as a guide
No headpiece on his poll abides
His fetlock and his coron......

For the Fallen In Flanders Field - Original...Famished and flagging footsoldiers;
formerly fitters and farmers.

faeces and foul, foetid fungi.
Fostering feelings, frustrated,
for this faraway, foreign field.

Unburdened...The old man sighed
Sitting on a rock next to a pond

Instagran...She’s stuffed and she’s mounted;
She’s up on a board.
This week, she’s discounted;
We’ll throw in a cord.
Her joints all work;

Pretend that she’s surfing;
The fun never......

Let me see you resist
I have tied you naked
Taut between the line of bone and soft curve

Fleeting Freedoms...Elderly man’s fishing net hangs in his shed
The fish he caught in his backyard stream multiply
Net use was banned; he couldn’t afford a pole
Joy and sustenance gone, a tear falls from his eye

of her species she is not quite certain;
Sometimes she acts just like a cat

Web of Lies...I've been caught in a web of lies
As filthy as that beast crawling;
Along each thread, I wonder how
It flexes; does a lie retain it's shape
After stretching to the limit?
Or does it snap and fre......

But it is not the way my spirit flexes
I have something deep that my heart
Wants to reveal; it is not the common
Words that I used to share
