I left the house at six am
Before the sound...

"Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis"
translation = thus always I

an arrogantly belligerent creature deified, 
yet vilified...

"Burnt Aqua"



I can taste the sun
on my tongue
it spills down 
my throat
like burnt aqua
healing the beating frisson

I am ebony inside
shading in my shadow world
some somnolent soul
waking from slumber’s dream dance 
a small death in life...

From my lowly bachelor’s house
Proudly christened ‘Embassy Fair’
I woke up to the chirping of birds
On the trees above and across the vale
And the riverine bushes in-between
I woke up to the crowing of cocks
And the mooing...

upon planet Earth),

Q, you; you cry, defy
call me a liar; open inside, simple design
I shout to the sky like a dying firefly
See the light flickering incessantly

And I was very intrigued, with the ancient sites where mystery lurked. 

My painstaking work caused me to travel, ofttimes to far distant lands,
As golden...

hearken to the sound
of reality come round
crowing to the sun
a brand new day just begun
much more mundane than profound

the universe hums
until eternity comes
shifting light plasma
moves through sparse cosmic miasma
the interstellar stanza

universe springs forth
actual mountains of...

Children are always bringing me something great.
One time a little girl said “I made my mom buy you this.”
It was the glitziest, cutest, most colorful dress in the world,
Size 2.
I wear a 16.
Um….
Crap.
I made a...

"Courting the Sublime Significance of Nothingness"



The blue lines ripple like waves

from the shallow depths 
of the ponderous pond
the words, fast black fins, break the wake surfacing

dousing your non-kinky hair
with peroxide in hopes of forming curly kinks
and without manipulation
the matted strands
finally intertwine
except your Peroxide Dreads
don’t resemble mind
            limp and still...

So I found it! The very essence of my soul, the eventual becoming

So I found it! Beneath the blankets, beneath...

Mother's womb panged to be delivered.
A rift awakened, once asleep in roost,
but 4alarm crowing on steeples of burning roofs,
the foundations gone missing, on sabbatical 
crowning of burning man both in and not in the news.

Mary was simply horrid, as a wee girl

What’s Right is letting people speak,
be they a genius or absurd,
and let people judge for themselves

To let them turn those words to text
and spread them out there, far and wide,
