........Cactus
....Water Towers
Isolated desolates
Wrapped in spikes
Fluted aqua Greys
Or in military green
Reaching the skies
The desolate cacti
The desert fingers
Withholding blaze..
Desicating breeze..........

Where not a blade....................
Nothin' germinate......................
Them root in dust.....................
Wasteland, gravel.....................
The fluted barrels......................
They shrink in dry......................

The Difference In the Stories We Want To Tell
Ohh I could have sat with my heart
--elevated with dribbled echoes--
ahhhhhh until it yet exhaled the tarnished seams
capturing only the quiet current lapping
and soaking dirty steel embankment
along the river’s edge beneath the...

Tuesday Morning
A splinter of golden sunlight seeps through the
Still-settling haze. I can see it through a crack in the rubble
Where pieces of building are precariously stacked
Like the toy blocks of a child. I can feel a...

Thoughts Moneca
October 21st 2007
Thoughts – Moneca .
The past has come around to dominate again.
It has brought me into a lesser place then before.
Upon wings of time’s passing, drift memories, ecstasies, experiences of joy to delight –...

The Inner Voice of Mark Birros: Excerpt From Epic Poem.
With that invisibilty of age
I can fly my life like a kite !
Uninvited and unseen,
albescent, grey, you know what I mean,
( not the first flush of youth or strong,
the young forget that we were young,...

Sandpiper Pausing---Again
Sandpiper Pausing...Again
What times are these
where hearts run hot and cold
ceaseless conscience alerts
remind us of steel girders fallen prone
entombments sealed
their distant voice remembered well
Compassion's lens peers through
this fallen metropolis of micro-flesh
this glass transparency
engulfed by forsaken smoke

Modern Waste
Train winded whistling and chugging,
leaving behind the city concrete,
it swiftly lunged into the green expanse,
fresh air blew ,trees swayed ,
as the blue yonder and bright sun,
set the terrific backdrop to the moving,
eyes do seldom settle...

Perfect Housing
Perfect Housing
Iron girders are structural beams
Bricks that surround them are building blocks for what seams
Pipes and wires connect us to the invisible streams
Concrete floors are a division between above and the floors in-between
A roof made...

Adversity's Bridge
Moving shadows in the night
Revealed within my path,
Adversity's bridge looms ahead
Beckoning with wrath.
Girders loosed by rust and ruin
Beneath the shifting sands,
Cascading rapids scale the pier
To claim the ones it can.
Calamity waits for all that pass,
Forbidding...

Building Materials
Building Materials
It takes so long to understand
How the fractures of the past
Reach the home of the future
With such a stealthy hand
All the foundations
That you braced and propped
All the restorations
Made in cement and bricks
The plasterwork
Which seemed...

The Bridge I Burned
THE BRIDGE I BURNED
I burned the bridge behind me, the one elaborately built,
The one of all my failures, the one of sins and guilt.
A bridge I thought would carry me to a life of bliss,

Reverse Osmosis of Life
(“Corpus Callosum”, 2017, original encaustic)
Reverse Osmosis of Life
It’s a two way street
The way reality exists
Divided into truth on one side
And illusion’s delusions the other,
And yet the most fascinating aspect
Is the membrane that exists between the...

Karhlsruhe Hbf
“Karlsruhe Hbf”
A man wore a bib on the outside of his down jacket
at Weiner Feinbacher.
Struedel doesn’t drip.
Poinsettias from Blumen leaving on the next train,
maybe from the same platform where
945 Jews departed.
Citizens unwillingly embarked.

Bridge
I think of my ancestors building you,
Tying and placing tree-trunks, like girders, in queue;
They constructed you, then, with stones,
Twisted, turned, criss-crossed, hung, dangled in zones;
Road bridge, railway bridge, gate bridge, bay bridge,
You resembled longest...

5th Avenue Sunrise
jampacked city streets
that jangled and banged
in the raucous jarring day
shifted
from business to boogaloo
squeezing into moonlight
party lights
gin and lime-kissed
gimlet sequined dress
strutted
in studded six-inch heels
riveting flair
provoking jive and jazzy nights
to tame this lion of New York
The bed...

An Ode To 911
Each Twin Tower encased in steel bower
Billowing masts did to horizon crest, as the fibrous
sunflower
Wrought to withstand the shearing winds and the
mightiest shower
A symbol of America's limitless capital and economic
power
Perched on the...
