Two Lovers Iii - First Valentine's Day
She took some care making her choice
A Valentine's Day card
It is a silly little thing
"It shouldn't be this hard"
But she still feels indecision
Selecting the right one
To set the proper tone for them
"With just a touch...

Woodcutter
With feet rooted into the bones of the Earth,
the old man squatted on his heels and began his work.
He lifted his saw and placed it on top of a block of hardwood.
And then he began...

Purgatorio
The letter of law condemned,
Let the Word enfleshed bring redemption,
My guide and I could now see,
Dancing curtains of luminescence,
As we started our ascent,
Climbing from perdition to penance,
This locus of light and shade,
Tells of hands that...

Bloodlust
He comes.
Graceful as the ghostly moonlight
glittering among the thorns,
he comes.
I feel him,
the warm whispers of the quiet forest listener.
He saunters, leans, and looks,
approaches, crouches low.
I cannot let his deadly perfection come so close to...

Multiplying Green Paths
Polypaths
lead neuro-systemically back
to Mother/Child original wombed attachment
A remarkably warm
and wet counterpoint
to a sterile anthrosupremacist theory
of Original Separating Sin.
Instead,
in this organic preternatural
panentheistic
spiritual experience
of win/win healthy wealth,
co-attachment overrides win/lose
zero-sum compromised
competitive relationships
Patriarchal
and capitalist self creationships
come later
as post-partum...

Rohrbach Cafe
ROHRBACH CAFE
Intimacy.
A place
of shared warmth, an atmosphere of muted shadows and candlelight,
where
emotions, profoundly sincere,
softly glow,
flare,
then wane
until, fully consumed, they are dimmed
and gentled
by intrinsic breezes of serenity.
A cafe
of quiet murmers, hushed revelations
among tables close,
but afar,
where
evening lit...

Inner Visions
Upon a time not so long ago
I saw these things, and locked them away,
Treasures in memory's secret stores:
A sunrise of Apocalyptic brilliance,
Clouds of opal strewn
Above a sapphire sea.
White ruins of an ancient city,
Once home to...

Soundscape Strata
Soundscape Strata
Did Bach know to what end
his harvest of melodies-in-parallel would become?
Scholars agonize
Was creation of counterpoint
musical destiny
a hybrid fruit of beauty
knowing no boundary
bewildering those of first look
given musical staffs
voicings and manuscripts
always conformed to traditional confinement?

A Nightcliff Evening
A Nightcliff Evening
The pastel light of evening fades to the indigo of night,
Trees brooding silhouettes above, save where the string
Of lights picks out the furrows of pale trunks and
Thrusting limbs.

Gray Day Theater
Late spring
and the opening gasps
of summer’s blazing promise
bring whirling dark clouds,
horizontal rain,
fierce weather,
warning horns,
my blackness,
horizontality,
downright mean melancholy,
and warning signs
worthy of attention.
I much prefer lazy storms...

Laughter in the Shadows
In chambers filled with laughter, light, and carefree sound,
A discordant echo hangs, heavy and unbound.
A specter in the corner, draped in deep shadows,
A chilling truth the merry words refuse to keep.
The body lies unseen, a...

Apotheosis of a Lover -Erotica
It is the scent of you, that breathes in me.
It is the music when you laugh
that chants across the apse
between our heartwalls,
signaling desire, tossing off forever
thoughts of penitence and shame.
It is the holiday of you
that...

An Oncology Ward
I am absolutely disoriented while I wait.
I am unable to reclaim the time I have lost.
I was entirely sure of my counterpoint.
Being warned led to her bewildered epithet.
Something odd is going on in this...

Is this all?
Life is a country, spread before us at birth, its
Vistas stretching beyond the horizon, full of
Mystery and anticipation.
In the distance lie mountain ranges,
Tall peaks of passion; this one the mother...
