The Drowned Dragon
Drowning anguish, Black bleached seamstress, In eyes share intimacy, In life comes wonder, An ire forelivid, A tomorrow for two, Stars wretched in darkness, Breathing for the hand, Of the dark ocean hue....

Hannibal Not Cannibal

Hannibal
Greatest of military men, Carthage's son, bright and bold Took the elephants of war over the Pyrenees frozen cold And would delay the Gentile's time fulfilling when the race Stood proud, under your command of the second Punic war But then that Africanus, your student with love displaced Entered North Africa, to plunder, to maim, and there to scar Except you...
