Long Echelon Poems

Glib rhetoric concerned with  striking independence may seem frivolous,
nuanced rational quite often a typical traumatic casualty,
the once interminable interdependent passionate zeal disintegrating in rapid spasms,
a longing sated and mutually embraced by two compatible persons...

FIRST MOVEMENT (Minor Key)

Times such as these test body soul and mind
So should our thoughts be pain and dark confined
Or loosed to concentrate on brighter things
Like furry puppies, flowers and girls on swings

In this bright...

If raindrops rise in leu of fall
would you seek the meaning overall?
Would spectacles endow with a clarity of fog
would you follow tangled lines of a rearward call?

Inevitable advance to stepping backwards
and dreams which mock to...

At six o’clock in the morning
Upon the sixth of June
Came Michael-Paul O’Higgins
Into this bustling world.

At school he was but middling,
He never cut much ice
In English, Maths, Geography,
In Scripture, Sport or Art.

In early adolescence
On the back...

I smile watching scintillating fiery,
A fury of stars and galaxies.
Fire is not sparking.
Echelon of smoke not covered skies.
Sand is not irritating my eyes.
Kids are not starving.
Mothers hadn't lost their children.
wives are not screaming.
Lands are still...

Out Flanking The Phalanx

Roman Soldiers like to drink
So I sent them out to battle Hannibal
A simple mission not for sober men
First to the Cannae Battle, 216 BC with lots of sun and debauchery
Then on to...

There is great relief when a tour ends
and you are processed out of the unit;
addresses exchanged and goodbyes done
all thought is about the Freedom Bird
and the long awaited flight home.

A frosty whitewash, whirling winter snow
smoothly shrouds a secret silent slumber.
Skies all awake, flying mosaics of row
music chirps cavort the sunset amber.
Gelid air turfs, chilled in birds of wonder
gliding through miles, unknown lands asunder.

Crackling wings...

Tumult and chaos reign around us
Gushes of water spill from shattered roofs unto bodies
Water does not heal the wounds of besieged people suffering
ln the distance music of two misplaced cellos seek solace

THE EAGLE

From sheer Jurassic precipice he soared
Surveyed the land for gifts it might afford

Across the broad flat valley’s rich domain
With viewpoint high, low altitude disdain

In languid circling track approaching nigh
The eagle now came level eye...

Regarding me being gone

as it flows across the pulsating plateau, 
and through the swathing sprawling forest, 
fostering emerald opulence to the ultimate, 
that splashes silver streaks beyond the banks, 
bending on the wavy contours...

At the fringe of dark clouds of despair
Beguiling dreams gleamed like the silver lining
Created fluttering wings of birds of desire
Driven by the squally winds through the rainbow arc
Entered the realm of sunburst new horizon.

Many come to live out their dreams
In the city of the golden gate.
Here the people are bright
And always calm in state. 

Many fade into each other
As blending paint colors do.
Very few stand out so clear

Ominous rumblings sounding like muted kettledrums
Herald the imminent arrival of the next summer thunderstorm.
Low, dark clouds grumble peevishly on the distant horizon,
Split intermittently by flashes of heat lightning*,
Devoid of sound or fury,
Behaving rather more like...

Astride the dark cloud’s fringe of despair
Beguiling dreams gleamed like lines of silver, 
Created dream-drenched wings of birds of desire,
Driven by the winsome winds through the rainbow flair,
Enchanted they entered the sunburst horizon of rapture.
Flock...

Hoary Decree, dateless Order, 
Anthroposophy of the cradle,

You are the history, you tell no tale;
Cogent than ingredients and concoction,

My dreams had magnified so manifold
the miniature mind could no longer hold,
