the immediate

It’s monsoon season here in New Haven,
gone, are the banked, fluorescent colors of sunset.

I think I’d...

Night, Twenty First December

The dry breeze moves gently
Infecting the Hamlet with its cool temper
Even the birds shake and generate calmly
A young lady sat at the front of a mansion
Her oily body shines with the aid of the moon....

Ratiocination Reversal

Contemporaneously, my thoughts ponder.
I know that the light of day supervenes when it does.
But when night comes, the blinds are yet left open.
The streetlights provide the fading sun. 
The moon glows above.
This is because...

Sofonisba - Young and Old

I’m Virgo, playing music tranquilly
in this self-portrait. The clavichord I chose.
It denotes fine education; the black clothes
I'm wearing prove I value chastity.
Dark as a shadow, to the left of me
is the face of my governess,...

as governess for seven children home.

The children then bereft and motherless
and governed by time-saving frenzied rules
which father, Georg...

Louise the Bird Caller Girl

Louise was the bird caller girl
Started when she was two
An accidental meeting with a cardinal
Then a robin and two bluebirds
Pretty soon wrens and swallows were circling her stroller

What is it with these birds? Asked her...

by her governess . The...

Clair De Lune

Governess of endless flowing tides
Ancient Orb that mystifies

Dusty ochre, bright hot white
Cycling and glowing with borrowed light
Cratered desolate dusty reflector,
Yet invoking your own haunting specter

Revealing all when heavily laden
Ebony cloaking when waning maiden
Luminous shafts caress...

Drop the Ruse Continue Abuse

Evidently beyond your control
they must be less
for you to be more

A drive beyond
Your governess
to belittle,discard,abhor

declaring self hero or victim
Simultaneously
Acting so mean

Needing to reduce 
All others to
the smoothest satiny sheen

Worn by your abrasive ways
Chip,chip,
Chipping away

As you...

Strength and understanding
An acceptance of responsibility

You will find discipline
Advice and encouragement

If I Would Have

If I had been a governess, I would have been paid.
Maybe a pittance, maybe a penny, maybe in francs or yen. 
Who knows?

If I had been a race car driver, I would have been revered
