hewn and sighing, complete,
waiting, lain in a low...

Magic Bagpipes and the Five Jelly Tykes

He gave me the gift of immortal time,
I could travel through centuries,
T’was a gift.

The Avenue of Gastronomic Delight
Down the broad avenue called Gastronomic Delight
City life gathers when twilight awakens;

Like Snoopy with his dish doing the suppertime dance;
Lured by...

Wave of Fantasy
Let’s sail away to Acapella,

and broken Children, Chambermaids,
are running wild from wraiths, afraid
of dreams where death redoubles.
They fritter time with tattered threads
(from ragged clothes they’ve left in shreds),
crocheting hoods to...

Remember them who lay in rows and

devoid of all unsavory...
