sinking into my deep blue camp chair
with feet resting on a weathered
wooden platform
for my monastic tent
Now folded

Upper floors that had been deserted
For many and many a day
Lighting a fire
Starting to pondering
Things from long ago
Remembering songs and legends
Stories that I had...

Even now, in broken, stone blocks,

The rich, classical detail,
fluted columns without plinths,
to imagine what it once was,
the mind can’t even begin…
That towering Coliseum,
the great...

SANDS OF GALLIPOLI’S BLOOD

As they came ashore,
To fight the good fight,

Of loyalty to a crown of way beyond,
No hesitation to join and follow fellow brothers here,

frenzied finicky felines are crazy they barked

Now Showing At The Albany
The line of people out the door.
The queue that snaked around the floor.
The building's sleek art deco style.
The carpets' faded plush red pile.
The "Coming Soon" in convex frames.
The "Showing Now" and big star names.
