This simple recognition gives my...

And traipse through forest shade
They packed a picnic lunch for...

Isolation
I
It is dawn.
Brother, rise.

From the soils.
Ephemeral, morn; so we shall set forth...

The Zombies of Zander Ranch, Part Iii
III.
There must be a hundred, silent and cruel,
a slow-moving wave as the night grew cool,
Rose had a shotgun, to blast out her hate,
yet Sol remained steady, motioned her to wait.
He didn’t shoot, he had planned...

a bird and a boy -
one day as a boy, I went down to the sea
clambered o'er rocks way out to the bluff
stopping to search in a tide pool for shells

Contorted faces
Expecting the explosion

Very slowly the froth
Spilled over
Leaving behind—would

And the blind regained the art of seeing.

And as all God fearing men,
I had assets needed freeing.
