during the quiet calm
of serene panting
beneath saint Cecilia's tomb
i'd began to wander
about stone structures
captured in sorted monuments
one would nestle so tranquil
throughout sudden raptures
gathered about Di Vatican's scrolls
tainted with forgotten truths
of mortified mystery
and gentle grievances
reaping beholding the just
of twilight laughter
a broken chalice
opening a wooden door
of surviving Florence
in nineteen forty three
karma arises behind
uncovered ashes
hindering the brutal
mindful beings clinging
to forgiveness needing naught
for chastising the greedy
accordingly upright
and slow to righteousness
a graveness thought of
only above hamburgs promise
feeding a whisper as we weep so
for the souls of the silent beings

DREAMTIME: STATE FAIR OF MIND
the barren vendor
sold wishes
to those
hoping
to
forget
at the back of the room
wizened old men
sat together on a bench
across from old fur hats
tricornes and hamburgs
bowlers and fedoras
high hats, admiral hats
and others
too rare
for my knowledge
or experience
all positioned firmly
on
head stretchers
covered in dust
a reminder
linking the past
now
the old Black man
who governed this booth
sold large
round chocolate bars
handmade
of finest quality
he offered my friend one
but
strangely
ignored me
everyone
gathered in the field
as wagons passed by
on parade
the
atmosphere
was quite gay
carnival like
friends
waving to each other
no
one
recognized
me

I like hamburgs and hotdogs.
I even like a brat.
At cookouts it don't matter...
Just cook up what you've got.
I don't mind getting dirty.
My shoes won't stay on long.
Don't let me see you cover your ears
while I sing my favorite song.
I like to fish with live bait.
I just prefer the worms.
You'll never hear me hollar
when it wriggles and it squirms.
I'm just a natural lady.
I live with mother earth.
My family says I'm normal...
for what their opinion's worth!
