now flooding with water;
the small, broken ribcage
of some primitive slaughter...
So near, yet so far.
A Surfeit of...

Sonnet 14, Part 1 of 31. Ripples in warm sunbeams dwell.
From a sandy cocoon I wake and stir.
A floater in the blue does knell,

No, the beach is afoot...

Clashes of Religion and CultureFrom the onset you become
The supernatural puppeteer behind power

Like asymmetric scale
Yesterday celebrates your uniqueness

New Neighbors, Part IAs Miss Luby watches from her window
