The Precipice
"The Precipice"
In the Autumn
she wore a wedding veil
A cold winter would lift it
Kiss her lips passionately to
speak words of
LOVE
on a
late roll call
“Well, that’s insanity for you”
some snakes would hiss
others rapture-faced

The Epiphany Rose
"The Epiphany Rose"
All well and good,
the story unfolds;
the isolating madness
drew out the poets
in all the shunned
playing up and out
their origami
word games
something like
an epiphany rose
in them, the mad,
recalcitrant ones,
like nuns leaving

Life is like this so we need to keep on moving.

Heaven Turned to Hell, Then Hell Turned to a Heaven
What's man that heaven turned to hell
in Eden's garden? It's a tale,
as old as time before the flood,
before Cain spilled Abel's blood.
Subtler than murder, the neighbor
grows rich against the miserably poor;
with might, the sword...

The Translucent Loft
The Translucent Loft
The girls choir at St. Mary’s still sings there.
Shh, be quiet as we step inside
through these green rectangular doors,
Shh! Listen...
We can hear them up there,
in the translucent loft.
They are still cloistered...

Dialectic
If there’s no god, why show respect
for pain that’s felt by an insect,
for doesn’t that in part deflect
from order’s natural select
which did from soup somehow infect,
cajole or otherwise confect
life as we know it, and inject
complexity,...

Color Outside the Lines
Color outside the lines
Coloring outside the lines
Not at my school
Nuns frowned on that;
Skirts above the knee
No way
Not at my school;
No gum, no pens,
No make-up
Not allowed-uh-uh
Not at Saint George School;
Memorize your verses
Three a night
Don'miss a word

Into the Woods
I stand neck-high tall
within the quicksand
of my infirmities.
Green and gaunt,
I hesitantly genuflect.
Ravaged tendons and corpuscles
are barely breathing
within the vacant corridors
of a soiled carcass.
My ardor for vindication
has been abandoned.
I presently refrain from accepting
the consultation of
umbrous...

Off Course
storm, weight of rain sloshes
o’er the sides of the acrylic tub
thunder of strobe, eyes blinking
slashes of screams, disaster —
utterance of lips, gutteral
door jammed, eye to eye contact
with the lion and lamb; the owl
on heights of...

Rolling them over and over and over
Leaving this reality behind, far behind...

The Old Church Revisited
The space is smaller
than what was measured by memory,
the stained glass windows much less
vibrant compared to what glowed
brightly in the light of back then.
The pews have been worn down
to bare wood...

All Reflection Therein

to summer’s praise and spring’s goodbyes,

Blue Movie

Electroflushed
True Blue
shines neon
his gospel brow
indigo guilt crushed
into the perilous
fathoms of her
deep Ocean
The Challenger Deep
depth charged
exploring
the beauty of
her black habit
plunging forbidden
lace marks
a penance veil
kissed hard,
unrepentant

On To the Sun
Alone I stand amongst those that love me.
Firmly in the ground have I placed my awakened feet.
Blood thus far rushes the visions that lay before me.
Through the white waters and the snow sands,...

Humble beginnings, a stable, for there was no room in a home.
A star in the East foretold the Savior’s birth, to shepherds who roam.
They followed the star, and knelt at the babe’s sweet tiny baby...

vessel displacement
passing over rough seas
