Delivering On Earthjustice

into multiplex cinemas; mini golf...

Migrants Stepping Out
Regardless of culture,
of religion,
of national residency,
of gender,
of sexuality's vast pantheistic diversity,
of hemispheric prime presidency,
When humans step out of our shelters
into a riotously gorgeous

perfect warm sunshine breezy
natural day,
we feel healing positive passion
Is what we have...

Learn the innards of a thing

My Heart Was King
YOUR HEART WAS KING
When I met you
Your life began
But soon
Mine ended
You asked for my flawless heart
I gave it to you without thinking twice
I protected you against your weaknesses
And swung off shame that was reeking
From your...

My Painting
The landscapes I paint have a fence or two
Some with pegs stout and straight
Some with bars broken and bent
A fence between the grey gravelly pathway
And the flashy flowery garden swathe
Or between the rippling river...

Divination In An Ape and Eel Pie But No Gravy
