Recollections From the Golden Cree IiiBrackish-gurgling days that
Unobtrusively slid along
Past tussock grass and curled up
Balls of Fern...
Glued tightly onto structured vanes
Of outstretched frond.
Venerable Mosses reciting epic tales,
Measured throughout Metronomical
Strains,
Chanting methodically in harmonious
Downturn -

Foreboding dialects delivered...

Purple Heart
"Purple Heart"
We are watched
surrounded by
a great cloud
of witnesses
the race marked
out for us
our days
we count
as numbers
hidden within
our flimsy armour
our transgressions
softened peccadilloes
