Which...

A cloned effigy in a rock called "Aso"

demented or dead, they cannot tell,
old age has come but...

Maestro
Maestro bows, a motion lulls thunder,
ovations a period of heeling, a clap
diverts a few, then attends silence.
A typical cough failed its challenge,
disturbed section promptly affects
a hall--indulges the jittery few. An
abrupt tapping expresses...

A gift of survival bag with goods and food
Thanks to the God you offered to my hand
In the competitive queue I came forward
I was registered, when the name is called
Nobody knows but somebody knows...

In the Night
If great minds are discovered
And stolen destinies recovered
If mysteries are uncovered
And shady deals neatly covered
Then, it must be in the night
Yes, in the night, when man sleeps
The enemy comes and peeps
He lays problems in heaps
And...

Small Life
There are killings,
suffocation in gullet
hell holes, decapitations
by mandibles stalking in shadows,
death pits at the bottom
of slippery throated flowers
and racked on a web,
a struggling moth

My garden is a slaughter
field littered with the...

Fallen
On the edge of paradise,
woeful tears fall, cold as ice.
On that edge where I stand still,
ashen whips jut onto my will.
On that edge you sear my helm!
Kibble it like a spider; overwhelm!
Steering through many an...

I'M
I'm
I'm singular.
I'm night-driving.
With vibrant hum
of standard speed.
I'm glowing of dashboard.
Utterances of am talk
alien abductees and remote viewing.
Barely diverts my musing.
I night-drive
periodically.
A rite of wanting
Control, of the wheel.
Arm out window
night air cooling me.
Headlight on...

Government corruption, engulfs us every day
It's bad enough we have to see the down slide on its way

In Windsor, At the Library
Afternoon again in the Rose City.
Ouellette Avenue, the main drag.
Cars insisting on a regular pattern
of interruption.
The hum of the library,
oddly like a burst of energy

Gone
reality filters through the heavily draped window
light finds a way in to chase a phantom's glow
luminosity dances and dodges free to play
begging and urging the spark to stay
gloom takes a turn unable to smother the...

Rain is one of the wonders of nature
Existing now , yesterday and in the future
Essential for the very existence of creatures
It contributes to maintain green pastures
Clouds in the sky announce its arrival
Drop by drop it...

Lost in this Little, big world
Of nightly sweats
I see a road sign that diverts
My attention to swerve
Away and Wake up
From the Reality around me ...
I just need a break...

So eventually you get tired;
Tired of trying to wade through all the muck;
And mire that constitutes what has to be a hopeless cause.
And so you just submit to what appears to be inevitable.
