The Master left to go away,
But, being wise and just,
He first called forth three servants and
Placed Talents in their trust.

According to their proven skills
He portioned out their share:
Five to the first, the second two
One to the last man there. 

And once the Master went away
The...

 ekphrasis 

Five glasses filled with brew but only two in kind;
the bread is toasted lightly, portioned just for four.
Although the background’s hazy, something rests behind,
dim splotch of green? a clue we may be out-of-doors.


A meeting of the minds?  just what shall we assume?
Simplicity....

I The Phoenix 

I recall in my youth how the world around me seemed so alive vibrant in color and beauty. As I aged this beauty faded and was replaced with a new world filled with shades of grey. Life rushed by me quickly, I...

Aligned in place, they changed and grew
A distinct frame to chomp and chew
To rip, to crush, to tear and bite
To process food, determined might

Forward canines made to tear
Bold incisors lessen wear
Solid molars help to crush
Day and night our teeth to brush

A solid set, with aim...

Nap Time

In the astral world of utterance, one overhears the whispering of sweet nothings, breathlessly whisking up a spell of portioned scents that nay, nearly spilt the teacups swirled cremes delights and demitasse gooey treats, 

Behold the phoenix rise to full measure under a lunar...

what she said could be seen as hyperbole
not to come running on broken leg problem
but her wisdom portioned into golden prompts
saving for a rainy day comes up empty
the free market could benefit by her depth
she’s open-handed and supports socialism
however her intentions were never false
like threats...

The frozen male gamete is injected into the
bovine beast of burden and succour.

Months later, through the miracle of mitosis, a 
juicy cut of prime passes through the birth canal, both
beautiful and bloody.

Steadfast child of some eastern divinity, I have faith that this creature was born
to...

why must you hurt me? Why cant you listen?
I guess mockingbirds only mock

you don't care of me, you care of your image with me
because the mockingbird only mocks

you say you need me, though I beg to differ
but mockingbird you don't understand, for all you know...

Professedly Plagues Psyche

I do not watch, while

nor listen to Wail

the dire mistress assails
she pursues a mans carmine sustenance
becalm her
with reality
with reason
in order to pacify her passion

If in need
desperately
become anointed, seek inner peace
join willingly with the angel
belong and recite with her
during her reaping song

hovering voraciously
over the carnage
a sliver haired woman
does appear
she is caped in gracing...

Dear Lady,

I heard you say that you still trust President Trump
to do almost as good a job as he says he is doing,
despite all the lies,
because "they all do that",
just say whatever the audience of the moment 
would most like to hear.

Really?

I believe Abraham Lincoln,

You are the created One who created everything
Who gave us creativity
You are the one who had the date when I would be born
A pin portioned
Just right were I am Now
Wow
You did that just for me
You are the one who released unto me thoughts to be
Wisdom...

What the hell have I 
...but hands full of dust
From beneath that dead tree without shelter nor brush
Upon this desolate land without shadow or shade
Where the earth has been scorched and it's skin is decayed
Those who will enter shall fall by the sword
Then portioned to...

So is it just me or is toast weird
bare with me so
bakers train for years
To produce these
beautiful pillow bouncy castles of air caves
surrounded by mouth crumbling battlements
crusts that disintegrate at a tremble
they learn to knead and squeeze and shape
they have timings calculated
and portioned preparations
each grain...

the antiquitous souls.
" perhaps uninvitable?"
 mellowing amberred coals
 [portioned minds] , 
   on the brink of unstable?
 Stability became a commidity .
fathoms of time ago.
 drinking from a fountain of 
bereavement.
 They've forgotten of the seeds?
in need, to be sewn....
