The Boat Is As Weathered As His Face

...the boat is as weathered as his face
it is his life, his treasure
steering the prow to sea hours before dawn
and in that darkness, the nets are set
small talk meanders the ponga
time to catch up...

Sase

...Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope

Horrid tin on wet paper. Coastal fragments of an empire twilight. Nonsense to corners in a deck along the warped cabin. Would you be silent for a moment? Afraid it ...

Very Fine Imagery

...I was touring the lovely countryside, once on a golden Saturday,
Lost within the raptures, of languid summertime's scenic display.

And I came into the vicinity, of a beautiful historic old home,

Amor Fati

...That you are, 
In the shades of a bulwark 
Twilit by weakness when I demur,
You’re that (!) – Amor fati, 
In the refusal of capriciousness,

Be Well My Porcelain Daughter

...Three eyes to see,
With no tongue to speak,
Confined to glass rooms of mournful reminiscing,
Bereft of purpose in her scientific boutique,
Isolated by the thunder that shook her stone cabin,
Obl...

Angel Dust

...He finds me when I try to sleep,
He’s even in my dreams, 
Lulling me into sweet assurance,
Then tearing me at the seams,

I don’t live where you do,
I live inside my head,
My sense of trepidat...

before my face y...

that I you find exquisite
and would move the stars
to make our fates agree.

and to rise again with new love...

A Holy Hope

...Bags Of Rice
 In my Courtyard
 The One I Struggled Lost to the capriciousness
