Translation of Dante's Hell Canto XvNow we along one of hard rims are brought;
And a thin spray on the brook is fixed,
So shield to rims and water is begot.
As Flemings, Cadsand and Bruges bewixt,
Fearing the high waves pouncing...

Escape of the Bluesman's SongWithin the frame a sepia scene
a dusty porch a rickety chair
the fabric of your dusky face creased
with ceaseless sunbaked woes

My daughter
Be on guard
Be on guard of the man

Nor with intellectual prowess
Or clothes so fine
No, these you can resist
You can...

soaring high above her head
in the misty morning dew
while the rivers trickle onward
to greet the day anew.

Two Old Gods
Two old men. That’s all; not much to look at.
Their frail, broken shadows shrunk against the sunny morning
Brightness slowly searching its way through gnarled branches
Overhead, and crisscrossing the red and black pieces
Upon their welcoming checkerboard.

Off their callous demure, grew gold green
My masked look
Came where adoration feathered preen
The cold pride that risked my life

My Last Magic TrickI was thinking
It would be different
Seems familiarity breeds contrition.
All I get from you is competition;
You used to listen, now you are always contrite;
At all cost, you wanted to be right,
While I wanted to be effective.

False all predictions
Piece apart all
Prophesies
To shatter our
Call to wisdom
Quake this path
To shake
"HIS" knowledge
