pinched cheeks.
ice skate scrapes -
flecks of flakes.
the snow queen
before her relentless
reign, a pretty thing.

Now and Then and Now Again1
Though still within our infancy,
we strive to thrive, but woefully
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name...

Gloriously Luxuriating In Eternal SleepGloriously luxuriating in eternal sleep
Forlorn; bereft of golden
(slippered) opportunities I weep;
Three score and four years
replete with mailer daemons,
hence mindset adrip
with self denouncing expletive filled bleep
unwritten expressed recriminations
wielded upon figurative head of wimpy blip;
decades elapsed at...
