A MINISTER RETIRES: SOLILOQUY
A MINISTER RETIRES :
SOLILOQUY
I arise as infant Phoenix
from Akasha ashes
counterparts frozen
with foibles intact
a still Arctic of death
sheath for recalibration
Source Light breathes into
fontanelle slowly sleepily

The Canopy and Economy
Sun and traffic - day economy.
Six a.m. drive to plywood mill. Too tired
to be angry. Each day a step
toward death. What is being accomplished? The
small satisfactions
within each day. Book consciously read.
And frustrations. Package dropped, honey...

The Calming of Her Storm
"The Calming of Her Storm"
My mother gave me solace
I fell into her deep hollows
to kiss the wisdom of her
breath chanting quietly
I still hear her
nightingale birdsong caressing
the soft fluttering
of her tireless...

My Gramma S Couch
Won’t you please take me back
To the brown couch at my Gramma’s house
With the big gold-framed antique mirror over it
And hand me Grampa’s old transistor radio
Covered in leather with glorious knobs
That brought me the...

The Monroe Moon
In glamor-light of sunset
a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive
and revive a sepia sky-scene—
unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns
of debutantes dancing with honeymoon hunger;
their dewy eyes blurred by the sawdust of stardust
pseudo-princess-pleasure-seekers

Genocide
let's dive into the thought of that Benue woman.
let's see through her sorrow carved separately,
how many children are born to die before noon?

Psychobabble
"Psychobabble"
She plants the seeds
in Her mind
through the
fathomless
oceanful wells
of Her eyes
saltwater falls
over the unchartered
sharp edges of
Her tight boundaries
to the playing fields
Elysian
where She waits
impatiently
in all Her glowing
warm-skinned dreams
black words turn

The Dragon's Pool Meeting
I see you’ve larked with fairy friends,
On bough, in fields, near brooks -
Pebbles skim the water’s edge;
Jump skip, jump skip, hop - over brook…
‘Which side is greener?’ Asked the Dragon mare.
‘The bough of tree...

My Divinity
My Divinity
My violet pastel pencil
came to a rest
after sketching the
outline of the natural pond
fringed with bamboo, palms,
and exotic tropical foliage
reflected
in the mirrored waters.
Standing before
the easel I couldn't
get my eyes off
the arched...

In the Wake
In the setting sun, I cast away the anchors
And set sail my wooden vessel of dreams
I, the captain and the crew, alone savvy orders
And keep the deck a splendid shine, I scream
Nay, none wave too...

Dreams
Impatient floodwaters at dams
Waiting for shutters to open,
A hodgepodge of puppets
Excited to perform: at deep slumber,
Waiting for my eyes to close,
The naughty byproducts of my brain!
I fly, glide: liberating!
I sing with a...

Est'Bel Strolls
Urges ushered Est’bel out of her abode –
a cottage cobbled together from cobwebs and clapboard –
and she scuttled forth,
her nesty hair tousled
by a leaf-laced breeze
In her bony hands she clutched
dregs of a nightmeg broth

Moggnome
Moggnome was a wee little soul from Tashee,
standing on tiptoes, he might reach to your knee.
Pomegranate face, fringed by dandelion fluff,
a thickly thatched head, and like that wasn’t enough,
for it grew on his hands,...

Put On a Happy Face
Put on a happy face
when I release taut fingers
from your pallid cheeks.
Promises and empty lies
are sported clichés
that spoil a silenced vocabulary.
A quieted understanding we've
vocally committed to;
barks a matted-jackal’s constitution -
perceiving morose consequences
of blind...

Love's Sufficient Time
I can accept love
I have time to learn
and earn
But
can I embrace compassion
I feel sure appreciates me
far more wisely
than I have yet earned?
Positive passions more pleasant
than I could ever find sufficient time
to brilliantly learn
My adoration...

This Dereliction
A Nation, wearied, sapped traumatized.
This vast exotic land, fringed by lush emerald jungles
A spark rising from the west, once looked upon by all,
A giant?
No, faded glory.
Vistas of burning star and torrential rivers...

The Taking of a Hero's Wife, Part Ii
The things they screamed at poor Laura
enraged Owen, and made his blood boil,
to harass a widow who’d lost everything…
Was there nothing left they would not spoil?
Owen saw a police car, on the corner,

He urged “Go into your closet”

Take Me With You
If you go downtown early morning
You can see the shopkeepers setting
Old treasures on the sidewalk,
Writing their welcomes with chalk
On little standing blackboards,
Inviting you inside their stores.
Honeysuckle Antiques has its window
Filled with newfound things to show,
Local...
