And upon a balcony of singed vine and blackened soot,
He...

The In-Between
"The In-Between"
I ripped the pages of
that tired old story
from the heart, a body of work
buried the misdiagnosed slanders
then wiped their mouths
with the back of my spoon
the feed they found,
passed the disingenuous time;
some found...

Gods of Winds
Notus comes creeping furtively from the south
hot and bothered from the blazing summer sun.
The wind of change...concealed it launches sudden storms
as clouds pile up across the sky, dark and towering,
lightning flashes, thunder drawls, torrential rain...

Pallikarnai Poems
Pallikarnai,one of
the prominent
waterbodies that
once provided life
breath to Chennai
(Tamilnadu, India)
is now a garbage
dumpyard. It now
serves as a moving
symbol of how the
civilized can
threaten the
environment.

In the Alps.
Retches the

In the Ganges.
Forays the volga.

Mucks the Nile.

In myriad moulds

Recalling Traipsing Thru Valley Forge National Park Under Full Moon
Lunar radiance this small hour
June fifteenth thousand and nineteen
(very early morning errand
to fuel 2009 Hyundai Sonata)
at Zieglerville, Pennsylvania Wawa
found gaze tugged toward
infinite celestial vault
luminous neon phosphorescent
quintessentially, punctually, outlandishly...
radiating, scintillating, treasuring
untold vast wonderment
since time immemorial
tremendous headlong...

For the Fallen In Flanders Field - Original
Famished and flagging footsoldiers;
formerly fitters and farmers.
Facing fatigue, fitful fever,

Forsaking fissures and furrows,
forced forwards with fleetness of foot.
Firearms flash and fragments fly far,
feigning the firmament...
