The Settlement of the Four Ligures
The stones slipped through the great fingertips of God
Each ligure staked its existence on the four corners of the universe
The quadrivial region began to spin and pull into a sphere
And pathways revealed their footholds 

The fourth ligure bravely landed in the midst of history
So that...

Settlement Conference
This is what it sounds like when the tears hit the paper, bloodshot eyes so they red in nature, still not sure wether they're sad or mad, not even sure if I miss what we had, but I been smoking all this smoke tryna smoke...

An Old English Settlement
In the historic district of an Old English Settlement, I came to a house with a porch lined with hundreds of ferns covering it.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I'm a historian and knew immediately what I had stumbled upon.  As...

The Settlement
The gentle grit,
Precarious grind,
Rattling my teeth,
Easing my mind.

It's barely relief,
But it'll have to do,
Only luck or fate,
To see us through.

Must be cold down there,
... Frozen over,
Way too wet up here,
For that type of clover.

My option's long gone,
A vivid memory,
Patiently I now wait,
For it to return...

The Day of Settlement
The trees were bare
Barren of their leaves
Droplets like tears
Hung from their arms
Blackened, their bark.

At their feet, snow
Soft, fresh white shimmer
A winter picture
There a wrapped figure
Walks slowly in the snow.

My door, he came to knock
Had spotted him go
Through the window
As in a dream
My heart felt no...

Settlement
If I take off my shoes
And I sell my toes
Does that make my toes, Fritos
If I close my eyes at night
am I legally blind, lost my sight
All I know is yes and no
and that air is light and darkness
the electrician fixed the wall switch
I put...

Settlement Specs Between Brothers
Bro, you ate my candy, serious business.
Chocolate will give you zits, may they never heal;
May your teeth all rot out; may you gain fifteen pounds;
May you lose your hair and have mental breakdowns.
May the  good Lord punish all those who steal.
But, I want you...

Settlement
Can we find a means of settlement,
do one, create one,
bring one about -
about our heads,
about our bodies,
within our minds,
within our hearts?

Is such a settlement possible?
Do we call it peace
before we are in pieces?
Do we call it love
before a level of revulsion?

We may settle, but first...

The old dog got a bit long in the once powerful teeth

Crushed his fangs on carrion left by the rest of the pack

	Pack of cards delivered by being

	Pack of lies suspended in truth

It was time to gather wounds scars and loosening grip

Maybe a new trick...

Dilbar jani ao cricket khailain

Har ball pay chaka maarna
Har ball pay out hona
Har ball pay tum haarna
Dilbar jani ao cricket khailain
Mein karun balling tum batting
Yara mara kar lo setting.

Settlement Stains
Pitter, patter little feet,
running up and down the street. 
Screaming, laughing, shouting loud.
Thin silver lining, in such dark cloud.
This moment's fun, will end too soon. 
Replaced with angry curses
and paraffin fumes. 
Green, amber - filled bottles, 
all but soothe,
Lurking shadows, 
set to abuse. 
No whimpered...
