The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes
I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles
ghostwriting...

Visit To Antietam
Alone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.

of indiscernible shapes gathered
in terrible rituals mid fire and smoke
darkening the sun.
From distant...

Pellucid pachyderms wade across
the purpling River Manjees
and Tozzath watches from the bank,
the seat of his maroon pantaloons soaked with mud,
his nostrils flaring with the fragrance of ombadalias,

like the wings of long-dead...

The Outlander
I am an Outlander
Who lives on a high hill
Overlooking a man-made lake
That once was a rapidly rushing river
Along whose banks the Ozarks Bluff Dwellers and the Osage and then Delaware
Hunted, fished, and created shelter
For their...

a kind of deactivation, fuzzy borderline hanging,
backing the art...

A View From a Window
As dawn unfolds today beyond my fractured windowpane,
a breeze beguiles the ashen drapes. Like snakes they slip aside,
revealing wanton worlds that race and run aground, insane,
immersed in scenes obscene that savants strive to mask and...

Lilith waits as she surveys, all her brutal yesterdays
She cruelly paved with stepping-stones of broken hearts and human bones.
Her lips turned up at their red corners, she grins at all the...

The Apocrypha of Familiars
“The Apocrypha of Familiars”
Wings hover
light luminescent
revelling sprites dark pearls
Corvidae shades
