It’s getting colder fast,
It feels as though we might have
Some snow this month at last.

Words from a Woman
Mrs. Holloway polishes her poetry dimly,
Regaling herself with the accoutrements of
Selected poetry, cluttered and less jinxed
By way of satanic slamming by famished,
Idle critics who read The New York Times
Just once in a sugared year.
She chooses...

A Whisper in the Dark
(A holy man speaks in Latin)
Cito est illud tempus quo nemo non potest amplius currere et abscondere
Nullae altae cuniculis aut altis muris te servabunt
Deus enim venit in lucem, quam semel dedit
Nocentius verum pudoris ambulationem cognoscet

Ultimate Truth
A golden spoon gilded vase by heirloom.
Acolytes shouldn't be anxious with gloom.
There never seems to be a shortage of cash.
One person's treasure is another's trash.
Gratitude from a large group of people
Gold sludge had fallen...

The Quest
None keeps its inventory
But it creeps into a story
A story of a modern society
Which is plural in nature;
Partly of a rural nurture
Partly of an urban stature
Yet must remain together
Lest it falls a part
For unity...

Homage To the Lizard King
Come dance and sing
Side by side with the Lizard King,
Entranced as he devours his rage
In the seductive dark at the edge of the stage.
The Lizard King can do anything.
Balanced on the edge of a grave,
You'll...

Shamans Question Known and Unknown
The Moon's silvery light looks wet,
Must be the remnants of the Sun's sweat.
Great chariots slide off it's colossal path,
Immersing themselves in a Galactic bath.
Shamans weep at the knowing what's next,
Crystalline tears upon paper become text.

Something is amiss with the world ?
Not that it is flat still round more like

Artistic Freedom In the Wild
There are no shape walls
to bridle one's emotions
creativity is properly ventilated
unbound by meter or syllable count
embracing nakedness
yanked naked in its virginity
The binding belt of chastity
given over to lyrical lovers
Sleeping quietly in the meadows
a pristine area...

To Evil
To Evil
You're apposite to Bad
Though abstract you are
We've seen your vivid actions
Through your acolytes
Your opposite, the Good.
Your rivalries long run forever
That one day -you will submit
To Godness- is not in your dictionary.
Your cohorts, men.

Lean Time
As the days shorten and skies darken
Greenwich meantime feels like a lean time.
With a heavier coat I go out scarfed,
my hat pulled down, to find those last leaves
compact in corners and crevices.
With whitening fingers gloved...

The coming of the beast, the invention
Of your kind. I hail the...

Pope Francis
Pope Francis's belief in the Almighty
has been brought to serious question,
when, on his speech on Origins,
the Bible received nary a mention -

Disney and the Millenial Acolytes: a Generation of Failure and Death
More or less, half a century ago,
A darkness hovered over this world,
Our generation dwells in this darkness today.
When does the light of hope become evil darkness?
When the generations that come after become the personification of...
