“Concrete Hearts, the Deep End Keys and the Miniaturist's Poetry of Sleep”
Following the Babel paths,
where footprints progress
like rough-hewn braille,
temptation shows itself well deep
to be turned and touched,
substantially labyrinth
The Open
is lead
further in, and...

Motherland
"Motherland"
The “Removed”,
Charlestons across the keyboard,

Piranhas
thrashing tales
to the feeding frenzy
de rigueur
someone’s torn
they can smell the blood
pointing fingers in a mirror
writing with burley
on their star studded
glowing wall
craggy oysters
peppered salty
grey and green
furry mouthed
blunt, stunted minds
lacking wisdom
scattering envy
curling vitriol

Freedom Sees - Part 2
"Freedom Sees - Part 2"
Platoon magic legion
Hammerheads
beautiful, graceful escorts
leading the way
hear their call, silently swishing
dorsal fins
cutting through the
fall-out murky pall,
they need no
blood and guts Burley,
their seas are pristine
watch their mute scene
unfurling, they...

On the Road '01
Soothe the brain with passages,
Let the warm air ease your thoughts.
For home is a long way coming,
But development is close.
Cross your eyes in hope of happiness,
Be content the pen still works,
Happy you're still moving on.

Charlie Bryce
Greasy little Charlie Bryce,
Was absolutely riddled with lice,
The lice would skip and jump and play,
On Charlie's greasy hair all day,
But then one day a louse hopped free,
And landed on a girl called Bree,
Who screamed aloud...

Or a tall sequoia fully grown.
Might be a stately elm among the lesser timber,
Or a sturdy oak as tough as stone.

Wandering Mind

but I don't know why
it's either that
or stare at the sky,
and as I ponder
what to scribe next,
inspiration fills my text.
The infamous thoughts
swirl all about,
smearing together
until they come out,
creating clear green skies
filled with...
