Dreamy History Walk Over Cobblestones
I wonder what she dreamed when
She walked barefoot over cobblestone streets
In 1864.
Did she fancy where her future would take her
What her descendants would be?
Would they remember their veteran,
Her husband from the Civil War.
As crows perched on his wooden cross?
She dreamed of an assortment of children;
Maybe she even dreamed of me.

Cobblestones In Red
Those stones had heard the children’s cries
Hosanna to the King
A donkey brought the Man of Peace
To hear Jerusalem sing.
But soon a dreaded whipping post
Placed on some others stones
Would hear the soldiers’ hateful jeers
And Mercy’s gasps and moans.
And blood would leave the Vessel pure
And pay sin’s awful cost.
A Mother wipes the crimson ground
To salvage what she

Cobblestones
Why so loud?
Go quiet into the night,
hear the cobblestones
announcing your departure
from this world-
to an empty night.
The bars
collect all the people in this world.
They smile, feed off each other:
finding friends, eternal love.
You
are left with nothing
but a memory:
like a trumpeter sustaining a note,
a beautiful note
it is;
but the unspoken secret
of every sound,
is in the fragility of a

Cobblestones of Quicksand
cobblestones of quicksand
tapestries of oil
teardrops of marble
left out to boil
fingerprints of tree sap
diamonds of wood
ceilings of water
- not what it should
sea breeze of fire
windmills of stone
whispering of evergreens
as I stand alone

Bloody Cobblestones (Part 1)
My mind awakens
to this extravagant pull
like being jerked
when standing to close
to a jet engine starting.
I feel my top rise,
mind diving
for the feel of the wolf
arising from its cage,
surfing on a wave of adrenaline.
Shaking off the lethargy
of my hibernation,
hunger stands up

Bloody Cobblestones (Part 2)
I draw out my soul,
stretching shadows,
encasing us in fog
and dispersing myself within.
Left forearm and claw forming
I gouge the chest,
blood splattering the stone walls,
slowly
I bring my face out
and lick the flesh
from my sickle like blades
then slam my head into his
as my right hand
forms behind the
