Dermas Deluge

...Oh gosh, another tragedy. 
The news of Libya
Shatters the world.
Storm Daniel brings down
The first dam wall. 
Water hurtles 
Towards the second dam wall,
Breaching it from the
Pressure, it b...

Splat

...splat
all over you
sweet tender 
love
turned to stone
pretty angel
you wanted 
my ugly truth
my hard history--
--the long bent road
to 
what I 
pine
yearn
ache
waste away

Running Hare

...He keeps airborne, skimming over the grass
defying a specific gravity
of joy or fear.

He hurtles into a tunnel of space ahead.
The land accommodates his passage -
gives way.

Lunch In the Okeefenochee

...Sluggish swamp water seeps through cypress knee
Looking for the reclusive crocodiles now infesting,
Our air boat skims along the edge of Okeefenochee
Where we spy a prehistoric-like al...

Wish Upon a Star

...Of energy that’s sent by you,
’Tis more than likely none gets through.
And when you wish upon a star,
The odds, more likely, aren’t than are.
And when you try to bring good luck,

The Ballad of the Slums

Leaving behind those who cannot keep pace
So many are under constant grind
To earn a square meal a day

On deserted streets many roam

As the train hurtles pass
hot are the rains rushing past
Falling on an ashen hued metropolis
her form is framed in Furious winds 
lightning, as sight transce...

As I know them to be; 
Sum total me.

Life's Unexpected Hurtles

...Life’s Unexpected Hurtles

We are in a race, 
for our very existence.

Forever is a long time. 
God is real. 
There is o...

Kismet

A strange sound in the village, not an alarm
It went on in short intervals
Perhaps they were tasting something we
We were not a part of.
After some time, the sound went on me

Walking In the Clouds At Sapa

...Rugged moss-covered rocks scale the ancient mountain
To slumber in the vaporous mantle of cloud, crystal icy water cascades down
Fine mist settles upon my face, I cup my hand to water and take a si...

On the Wall

...On the wall standing

Amidst the danger encroaching

Mirrors the alligator’s razors

Securely entrenched in mud waiting

A boa slides into the deep...

The seconds tick amicably.

Decade - Ence

...Back in the fifties
America seemed much calmer

That pre-historic hairdo

World War Two over
We needed some ti...
