breathing devotions
my thoughts quiver as earthquakes
whispers wishes blush
my soul faints daily

Emerging From The Woods Onto A High Prominence

sunlight tries to push through, but mostly fails,
straight trunks spread out and obscure distant gaze,
there’s eyes out there, watching, afraid they’re p...

Once you've been there
...Looked out in the morning,
saw the hurricane's approach;
Coming from the islands,
travelling fast down the coast.

Still daylight was welcome in her studio.
She stood hunched with pain over her easel.
The landscape was not quite what she wanted.
She had decided to por...

Eons ago I felt my birth,
as my two parents collided,
and I arrived -crumpled and folded upward
rugged and jagged with a body of ever-changing rock.
Unlike the ordinary human child,

Alcoholic
...Lightheaded I ambled
towards the lonely pub.
Liquor helps sometimes you know.
It burns the mind,
empties it
of niggling thoughts,
of subtle yearnings,
of ambitious aspirations.

Divers wreathe silently through
the submerged corridors of a

And tugs boats were standing by

The Red Dirt Road
...Follow the red dirt road.
Take it slow, walk it,
this is not an exploration
nor a pilgrimage,
it is a short tour around
the beginning of an idea
and its end.
