the idea or thought is not the thing,
of the fruit we taste and deeds we enact.
We are merely one of the many forms

The Virginia HermaphroditeThe Virginia Hermaphrodite
(Bennet’s Farm, Jamestowne, 1629)
Your Honors, Gentlemen of the Council,

smooth undulations lovely to the touch,
so silky and provocative, I sigh,
as I caress your contours overmuch;
for I cannot restrain my eagerness
to stroke, manipulate and squeeze,
and lavish you with love and tenderness,
your glowing beauty brings me to my knees.
We reach...

Two Murders - Part III Finis3.
Death, the Master, wears a thousand faces.
The white smile of the skull
Lies behind the 5 O'Clock shadow
Beneath, perhaps, those laughing eyes
Looking your way across the bar.
When the shock begins to fade I turn off the news.
I turn once more to the business of living.

High TideI sat and watched the sea for hours,
The tidal waters rising higher,
Ignored inconsequential showers
To watch the white and height of spray,
To see the swell and surge of green,
To comprehend a friend’s display
Of innate power and beauty, seen
When moon and wind and beach conspire.
No gentle zephyr’s...

And Let Us Now Silence That Intrusive Music So Ominous, So Banal, So Tinny and So SlightAs rains and the torrentialest of snows plummet,
Filling all the skies and the area interstitial to earth and sky
With a frenzy of flying flakes;
As gusty winds doth blow and toss the flakes this way and that;
As torrents true amid the most rending species...

nor do the swarming flies on the muslin sack,
buzzing on the dried blood, concern him overmuch.

Not Quite the Remnant of Those Myriad Poems That Yestereve I ComposedThe armies they are massing:
They line and ring every shore, every strand bristling with
The deadliest of weapons;
The tocsin should be sounded,
And every cannon is round at its bore.
Fires rage unchecked and unopposed throughout the
Entire world, and mankind, in part, prepares hastily and needlessly
Yet more and...
