Death Watch
Death Watch
It was early morning.
The sun was barely above the high hills on the other side of the lake.
I was at the end of the dock slowly reeling in my line.
I could see fish jumping...

The Essence of Me
Born in the Goshen ghetto,
bound by an Ashkenaz forged umbilical chain
Beloved mother was Jim Crow lynch poor,
adored father was the Uncle Sam same
Third-generation slaves,
pauper freed allegedly
But royal blood their ancestors
sweaty tears did bleed

Just Takes One a Personal One
What I’m saying right now happened to me last night.
I was in Spirit dreaming, when out of the dark came a white light.
It radiated, it glared brightly and I thought “it hurt a bit”,
My eyes...

Paths To the Foundry
The World is a testing ground to burn out impurity,
a forge of sorts,
sorting out infermity.
A Threshing floor
of chaff and wheat.
The bread of life consuming your choices as you eat.

Percy Watt Bullet Dodger
Percy would stand up and sidestep and tap dance while the bullets bounced around him....
Percy laughed at death
and the Grim Reapers sickle missed him..

Life Worth Living
chipping and hacking
sawing and sanding
this is the life of a creator
these are his sounds
a cacophony of hustle and bustle
a primal link to the past and an eye on the future
ever striving for...

Never Forget
"Never Forget"
A brutal blow
From a foe.
Awoke a gentle giant.
With hatred fused.
Our planes were used
Like daggers while they chanted.
Hundreds of lives
They stole that day.
Of every religion and color.
Awakened to war.
On land ,sea, and shore.
Defending Americas honor.
Transforming...

Days After War
My soul strayed from my body yesterday
I woke up to the chirping of crows a distance from my fathers house,
Reading the letters I received in a past life,
Before I was sent off to the frontiers...

Better Fetter Knowledge
Peep this boo message,
if you dare ...
Keyhole knowledge
of what cha’ see-hear
might give you a fetter scare
It’s best not to wanna know,
if you can’t handle
forced transportation
Or cruel subjugation,
by way of
cattle prod relocation
This kinda fetter...

Beyond the mountains more steep and precipitous then canyon of Bryce
And sometimes in those mountains are glaciers of ice
In lower parts snakes with eyes like points of a dice
Step on one and with your life...

Stargazer
A thought to dare-dancing
in shadow-light dreaming.
Eyes wet with the unseen,
a forbidden gleening.
If only unforseen.
Within golden breast heaving,
rib expanding in unison with destiny's
anatomy of anything.
Outlander girl, another world, love is scheming,
there.
Pregnancy in...

Ramble Around the Foundry
It’s been a day, brother, it’s been a day.
I’m ridiculous for lack of content,
All my plot holes are on display.
Am I doing OK? Am I having a day?
I can’t get a call back. I sat...

The Emperor Takes His Ease
L'Empéreur s'amuse
(after Victor Hugo)
For the banished ones, of stubborn resistance,
France is far off. The tomb is near.
But don’t worry, Prince. Enjoy your existence.
In the Bois de Boulogne, chase deer,
chase women in the theatre....

The Book of Revelations
He walked up Mill Street past the Foundry,
That citadel across from Nailers Row.
With eight kids and their mother as dependents,
He earned the pay that brought the bacon home.
An immigrant, he labored at the open-hearth
With Dagos,...

Day by day knowledge is gained in accordance,
Things depend according to the attendance.

Disturbution 2
Wet a glance as the nocturne faded. Deeply rooted was the clause of all men's fears and queries. Nonetheless stagnant to the terms of the ever growing woe-field at dusk. Nevermore would the twelfth...

City Water
Risen
From the springtime flooding along South MLK
A sh#t-skinned slimy pipe
Pops half way up from a grimy hole
Like a gopher molded from iron ore
Neck and head periscoping left then right
Tiny arms bolted to its furry chest...

Summers Day
On sports betting I’d bet my life
Praying I choose the right odds.
Lately I’ve been placing my trust in cocktails and gin
Trying to embrace these new habits I have,
Like writing poems and living life off...

Foundry and Mill
Larks are ascending funnels of sky,
songs smoke from enteral chimneys.
In an industrial park a fine Autumn light
burns bright.
Shoes fill with walkers,
we are out and praising
the clanking machinery,
for we are all leaves
in the same furnace.
What...

Transcendent and Divine
Science will never prove
The existence of God
Science will never disprove
The existence of God
Its physics pre-emergent
Its logic self contained
If anything, a tool
To measure what’s at hand
But like the foundry never
Retaining the artists spirit
Quantum theory will never...

Battle Cry
I am as subtle as the maker who made me;
I’m not the strongest,
I’m not the bravest,
I’m not the luckiest,
I’m not the smartest,
And definitely not the brightest,
I’m just one who works the hardest.
These words are a...
