The missus unflagging crocheting efforts as Betsy Ross incarnate

With needle in hand incorporating love
in every single crochet stitch
that's my wife
tad more'n a quarter century ago
then newlywed to yours truly
slowly, magically but inexorably
transforming skein of yarn
into...

In an old vineyard 
When Jesus was just a lamb 
His coat eight years old 
Working with the chaste Joseph 
His father and guide 
As the beloved Mary 
Kneeled and prayed to God 
In their...

A wicked council of elders robed in white and crimson,
Sit fat atop a tower to ruminate on sin and manipulation.

Decrees from ancient tomes and texts written in history,
Declare our origins in an operant opera of...

I peer quite nervously about,
to wonder at the goings on,
how much of what is said,
is  speculation on my part,
and  how this dwelling rose,
from a clouded past milieu,
tales of the apocryphal I’d guess,
imagination stirred...

Surfing You Tube, I come upon 
“Til The World Ends” by

Three Dog Night. It was a lesser 
hit of theirs from 1975, but

it always reminded me of you, 
and that time we were
 
going to...

I have seen the pretentious woman residing within my minds hologram….
She believes herself to be a wise messiah…
She teaches her apocryphal beliefs to other seekers…
She has deep roots of stubborn illusions planted within her intentions…
She...

I give my life to the wind; to
the fossils, the spirit, and the earth.
I leave my thoughts to the termites that
linger beneath the sod, to the falcon in the
firmament, and to the animals that mate...

When apocryphal bedlam spreads its crazy pinions

	Fake news holds court in the newspaper's dominion

		Incessant lies convert to self-righteous 'truth' in print

			I light a fire with a fact check stone cold sparky flint

Surely I respect pluralism...

Just untangle and snip the threads and you will be fine. In the luminous labyrinth of society, a kaleidoscope of perspectives unfolds, where idiosyncratic souls shatter certainties, embracing the abyssal void. We, the insular inhabitants,...

She had many sad stories,
they were filed away, labeled,
color coded;
tales presented as apocryphal bibles.

He would listen as she pulled them out
of her droning breast,
intoned then as if reciting
poetry to an acolyte sponge.

Her stories festered the...

Poetry is like opera to me.
It brings some, to your very soul’s gate!
Some poets only pen for a witty, rude
fast laugh.
I don’t think life is a bowl of chuckling human 
guffaws and gaffes!

Some will never...

Is the wind alive? That’s what the Choctaw believed.
The Apache called it, apocryphally, “the breath of the world.”

To them, the wind is the trickster you never see,
a joker on the plain of life.

What’s always arriving...

Here I am
Opening a new finesse
Creating a rapport of mercurial genre
From nadir to zenith
I never thought the labyrinthine of searching would never end
The demise of one long ago
Propinquity would never come close
Yet amidst a facade

I had the worst terrors last night
My mind was in a gruesome sight
The ‘ol  apocryphal scene
Insighted by the new regime

Migration bill stirs fear among
Farmworkers chant that  It’s Wrong!
Phone app saves Honduran journalist
Can’t go...

Maybe you shouldn't send the letter
Argued counsel in my head
But the moral compass pointed
Toward transparency instead

I have always walked the straight path
From the time I was a boy
To the noble and the righteous
Revelation brings but...

"The Clementine" 

for the plucking,
the Clementine
leaves were fresher back then
the light glistened stronger
each segment a morsel 
a revision slow and deliberate
transcribed by Jerome

in latin passages

Valentine is what they say to their valentines to describe, 
The enchanting heart's whisper, how much they are special to them. 
Nevertheless, I fell sick, to be exact, not in the ocean of my lover's...

If You Listen
All Will Be Silent

Genial to avoid confrontation
Baseborn kind, complaisant character
A spurious recital, a cheap imitation
Apocryphal mind, and comical creations
Counterfeited Christ
An unholy effusion
Sons of Belial
Clutch arcane knowledge
Esoteric information

Delve into oracular verse.
Deadened faith
Recondite belief denuded denials
Portentous and abstruse
Divested of the...

When at last we go silent
deep within this internet hive,
will the delayed surprise
travel more or less than a minute or an hour?
Did she or he die, or were they always
apocryphal names written on dead air?

All children of a lesser god,
    Someone somewhere has spared the rod.

Opaque sheeted glass opened out on the bay,
  Bobbing boats tossed around in default,
The voices of sailors drowned deep in dismay
  Rumbled and gargled with salt.
The noises of death marches pounded a tune
