a welcoming address to all dignities
an old sermon preached by three wisemen

These thoughts.

 

These thoughts, within my head.

 

Must they fill me with this dread? 



Angry, distant, always resistant.

 

Tired, weary, and so dreary.

Is she still breathing as a woman?
Why is she in the darkness crying?

Arthur Kaye, he was born with the head of a goat
and cloven hooves where he should have had feet
They made the most unfortunate racket

A flood of grackles,
black-leafing the tree
who seem to’ve forgot
that its not
Winter;
it’s Spring and everything
is about to flower.

Eva says they are starling

She says they crowd the uncrowded

Good day, Sun;
so nice to see you.
At my age, despite 
what odds I give I 
can't get anyone to bet, 
all wagering off, as to 
whether, the following
morning, I will be earth-side
or aloft?

Good morning, Sun,

and in a blink of an eye,

To tell us when they're feeling poopy

Ask 'em about us silly humans
With our conflicts and stupid old...
