A Harvest Quartet of Subtle Harmonics
Spring's Excitement

that farms use to advantage! Time's fishermen sailed

at each dawn and dusk's onshore brought home each day's...

Fragmented frogs frolicking fruitlessly freeing flavoursome fairy freckles,
But what of the speckled hound in the bin?

I Was There
Where was I on "Bull" Conner's day,

Attack dogs, hoses, and lawmen's feet,
Blacks felled like timber on a southern street.
As fists and batons flayed the air,
Hate left the wounded laying...

Limoncello Deluxe Velvet Comfort Divine

feet planted firmly on the ground
staring at a blank screen

The Palace Guardiennes
The Palace Guardiennes were the sultan’s delight,
resplendent in their tight uniforms
of scarlet and magenta silks,
embroidered with golden flowers,
with sterling silver scimitars in
ruby studded scabbards
hanging off lovely hips,
and boots and belts of finest faun-skin
and helmets topped...

IN THE DARKNESS OF IMPERIALISM
I was born in a banana republic,
Between the carnivorous chains of Françafrique,
In an open-air dumpster,
Where tyranny, barbarity, and savagery speak with arrogance.

I grew up under the...

Arm to arm, sinews clutch

One crimson call, which guidance brought
The feeble, stern: the working lot
To stand much greater, taller, strong
Filled with hope, in lines long,
That stretch from pain, from glum,...
