Eidolon, Penumbra
Everything is normal
so not much to sing or say.
No summer thunderstorm,
the snow was magical only for an hour.
Old men
aren’t removing women’s panties with removable dentures.
A belly laugh now and then,
an empty belly’s holy.
With simple joy
mortals may forget to fear their deaths.
Simply put,
we do not survive. But what an adventure!
I heard an archangel cry
Don’t

Eidolon En Pointe
Savvy silver vanity set howls
on the edge of an antique dresser;
The ballerina’s festooned curls
aglow in the mirror’s reflection;
On the edge of an antique dresser
an eidolon sits pointe shoes laced;
Aglow in the mirror’s reflection,
left foot lies slightly unnatural;
An eidolon sits pointe shoes laced,
wailing her toes swell ever larger;
Left foot lies slightly unnatural,
bent and broken

Eidolon
Please don't shed any crocodile tears
But I've been dead for fifteen years
Folks say zombies aren't "really" real
Yet I walk and talk, and NEVER feel
I wish I could give a notable excuse
But it's all the fruition of self-abuse
So make your life the most it can be
Or wind up in the walking dead ranks ...
Like me.

The Eidolon of Endymion
Inside a grotto scooped out by a wealthy earl for his seated pleasure,
There sat a bard amidst the edelweiss strung 'round the hole of leisure.
Fallen droplets of acidic water pitter-pattered in echoes across the cave,
Slowly weathering away its leaky limestone layers as would a mason's lathe.
The bard, whose unimportant name shall be dismissed,

Eidolon Lullaby
Childhood lullaby rings in his mind when he was a baby
Many years had passed by, but he cannot forget the song
Saying as a warning, sleep baby, sleep now or the cuco
Will come to eat you.
Ancient cradle song used for Puerto Ricans to sleep babies
For many generations that believed the evil monster will
Take
