Dispossessed
DISPOSSESSED Running, Running… We are always running, running again. I clutch my son’s small hand, his fingernails drive into my palm. Running, Running again, and the cold is catching up to us. Every step is slippery, against the permafrost, and muddy sludge. Running, limping, run… What to tell my son. Do I make this a game? A lie, like Santa Claus...

The Thief
THE THIEF I circle you slowly, blow in dust from the south, I smother your nose, and breathe in your mouth. I force you to strangle, to spit up black mash, Stinging your tongue, turning lashes to ash. I can make myself hotter, I’ll broil your braids, then sauté your ankles, and french fry your legs ....

Destiny of the Dispossessed
As you flee behind you hear Your hate filled screaming foes Pillaging and burning Their tutored hatred beyond reason For no reason Loudspeakers hastily erected amongst the rubble Play a dirge of victory As they hold a pyrrhic parade As you flee to who knows where North, south, east or west?

Dispossessed of Love
Oft my mind to your sweetness flies For the sway of you is the life of mine Serene smiles and your light coincide To unbolt my spirit and distort my time But my ears must unopen to your murmurous chime Long I've been dispossessed of your touch divine Yet I persist and pursue in such torturous rhymes But now has flown when...
