Tozzath
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,
whose lacey petals flutter
like the wings of long-dead...

a dusty porch a rickety chair
the fabric of your dusky face creased
with ceaseless sunbaked woes
your old pair of getaway feet gives
a different walk of...

His mind and heart at ease.

Gazing out towards the sea.

What Matters
When they ask: the answer is, I want to be cremated
Smoke the man from yesterday that occasionally crumbles into tomorrow
Let the wind carry the residue of inspiration until it ashes back to God
Then spread...

The crescent ~ half awake,
yet wholly aware,
like the essence of my presence ~
drowsy and divine ~
glowing in golden hues

Uncle Michael
His ramrod back, his brill-creamed hair
and waxed moustache gave him a certain air,
a certain dash, and a military bearing.
His speech was clipped. He walked his stick
with sergeant major's flick.
His corduroys ...

a hero of half-truths, drowned in fairy dust,
