A Child’s World

Carving the truth to the desired measure,
Shaming the threat and killing the unworthy.
But for years in the grayness created with blood,

Light grayness of the sky brings a needed coolness
Sprinkle of snow gives me a preview of November.

A sea of average spirits, drifting aimlessly on the waters of silence,
Lacking that aristocratic individuality, as demanded by Christ...

THE MURMURES OF THE FIELD OF MARS
...They were exhibited as strange curiosities,
They all had a face, a name, an identity on this land soiled by negrophobia.
They looked without seeing, their eyes lost in the ruins of their humanity...

Rhythm of the descent moon's sight
Velvet twilight grayness vision of night.
Still-life far away from the nearest street
Under the limbs of a tall hollow reject...

Fleetingly vamping across acres of its inner shell.
Cutting all the warmth that was once held within.
Freezing...
