My Fair Lady Lidja--disquiet--sigh
Limit thine opinions, my Lord Miltrose,
Thy intent fails midst tardily shadows
Albeit findeth tis aid satisfy
Ahh! My Lord Sir Gilroy, tis nice surprise
Twill thine fair milieu idle pitched moist lips
Delivery thrills with a smile post scripts
Admittedly the id did simplify
A lady said the incident eclipse
Ships neither sink nor swim in tranquil Springs
Flights robins and whipper-o-willow wings'
Claims to an anointing gift rectify
Blessings of an innocent child ... heartstrings
Mildly midst millennium ... a voice sings ...
“My Lord’s-in-waiting, beseech thy favor
an ear and harken of woven words will
of a lifetime breathes I, here and now,
True Lord in Waiting in time and place
for us to be … somewhere, someplace,
… for all time."

wishes hopes and dreams
school sales, festivals, food and fun
in a moment gone
people fallen, children lost
3, 9, 22 depart in a flash
so many fell in three cities
they’ve left life’s promises too soon
in a moment of light then shadows
came senseless savagery
loving lives gone others torn
nightmares and fears have now begun
from young men drawn to stealing lives
away from the possibility of friends,
growth, work, children, loves
radical young drawn by hateful words,
cruel dreams deviant works their own death
— most religions are not vicious
most people are kind
Gilroy had family and friends
I called late at night finally able to breathe
in those cities so many lives were shattered
and in those cities life will resurrect again

He was here just yesterday walking on
Gilroy, California's fresh, green grass.
Now, Stephen Romero, only six, sings
in an eternal, angelic, glorious Mass!

once a young student from gilroy
wished to marry a tomboy
parents protested
had him arrested
forced him to join the bolshoi.
