Danger of Darker DanceDanger of Darker Dance
In the heart of the desert, where shadows cast despair,
An ideology emerged—a venomous affair.
Visionless and blind, it spread its wicked creed.
Ignorant butchers are planting violent seeds.
In the Middle East, where cultures...

Who The Police Protect, Part II...It went up on the internet,
people argued in vain,
some said, “Monster,” some said, “It’s good
that ‘the rich’ know their pain!”
Tyler ignored all the hoopla,
knew nothing would be done,
all cops were bastards, after all,
he had already...

Who The Police Protect, Part ITyler was a real happy man,
looking down at his phone,
the mayor said,“We need less police,
their crimes are so well known.”

Vernal Voida black-eyed sea
……a wave of ice
a knotted mouth
……a killer’s vice
a candle’s blood

a thunder’s fist
……a sleepy mist

Aching silence, an endless chasm,
Ardent longing, a vanished prism.
Abandoned...

Its fingers traced the blood-filled lines along my bare arm
as if they were the brittle veins of leaves fallen from a tree
I was...
