What Have I Seen?
1
Sunrise, late winter
skunk smell
turkey flock
playful otter, too.
The white heron
a great blue,
white phase,
in the abandoned beaver pond.
Purple clematis
its long-awned achenes
in globose heads
spidery, fiery, extravagant fruit!
To identify or classify
birds by
the complexity or beauty
of their songs.
And so
what is...

Contentment
Remember watching the clouds breathe,
In endless sees of make-believe,
Erasing the summer blue, azure in fleeting
Moments, silencing the music of birdsong,
Softly chortling in rhythms,
Hearts warmed by the presence of miracles,
Promising the wind will blow away,
Every...

My Love Potion
Why did you come to see me?
Asked the witch,
In a nasal tone!
Are you yourself not made of magic?
I looked at her in silence,
Wondering if she could feel the pain
Dancing all over me
Running through my bloodstream
Pulsating...

The Slave's Tale: Revenge
Exracted from Gerald Nforche's Epic, The Slave's Tale
-Across the Atlantic, 1793-
And as days tumbled away, we staggered
Along, knock-kneed, dead beat and haggard.
Our bodies singing to the tune of the whip
Whizzing on morsels of flesh, so...

Wasn'T Nothing Major

It was just a little bang bang,

Eternally Grateful - 2
Wildflowers hesitate,
Breathing in the clear air
Inspiration so brilliant, alive
With whispers of faith
Purity in gulps of gasping, panting
Flavors of chasteness
Wholesomeness...
Transparent feelings, blessed
Healing all the past…
With clean, cool innocence
In the meadows,
Over the mountains,
Tiny petals emerge, soft
Tender...

2019 Has Come
2019 has reached my doorstep
As subtly as a tiny ant, wishing to steal sugar
From my cupboard
2019 has reached me, and along with it
Comes the anticipation that my dawns
Will have adorned to them
Feathers tainted dark red,...

Around every treacherous bend, around every hidden corner
