giving birth to "Justice On Earth"--
which seems quite different than Donald Trump's
view of how to rebirth America's former patriarchal colonizing greatness,
yet again.

The Eulogizer
He’s called the Eulogizer
He reluctantly accepts this moniker as our elder
A name for which he feels disdain
Since it conjures memories of unspeakable pain
He's lost a father, mother, sister and son
His nights sleepless realizing...

This driveway winds by towering bush gums flanked
on the...

Had they but known that

In My Imagination
In my imagination I have 16 nostrils,
As you can imagine that’s quite a buildup of green snot,
But it doesn’t matter because in my imagination,
I have 16 index figures, each one with a little mouth,
With razor...

Consequence of a Certain Demise
I.
One week to the day,
His beloved was taken away.
Within the confines of their edifice
He told himself, I can’t go on like this.

The forlorn house--windows weeping chrystalline shards--

Come and Meet Me Under the Oak Tree
Walking along this long

Completely flanked by tall trees
Blossoming with rich berries waiting to

colourful birds singing
