The Witch At Inverness
Please take this time to steer your thoughts
To a wretched land of lochs and glens.
Where a village was tasked and the people fraught
At the woe and sadness life could send.
With the Dragons gone and the...

The Depths
"The Depths"
From the depths
silence.
Where
are the voices
of other
women?
In that other place,
the monsters violate,
they take and take
bloody all, what they want
the dreams of women
are torched, murdered,
next to them,
the sweet dreams of lives...

The Whips of History - 1
This whip is a relic of war
an instrument of severe education,
come now Avia, look how lovely and vulgar,
it is essential for you to appreciate it's intention,
feel it's supple weight, the simple fright,
I use jasmine...

Greatest Story Never Told
This story remains unfinished
as do all the best tales told.
Yet I must warn you
it has a happy healthy ending,
not dystopian,
although not a finished
political wealth utopia,
Ever After LoveLife;
warm accompaniment
trusted energy of democracy
Where this power story...

I’ve recently been reading a book that reminded me of how little I am in this humongous world
It reminded me of how many boys with the same pigment as me, it reminded me of...

Rough Roads To Roam
The flames of the furnace (well-travelled by wind
slowly glazing the rags of gray women chagrined
at the sight of a hair fleeing tresses now thinned)
sometimes billow like waves flooding naves through the night,
when the lightning...

Bored President
I once invested a year
as Board President.
Indeed, I was often a bored resident
of our State Affordable Housing Coalition.
My platform,
to speak grandly
of what was more of a healthy whim,
was for safe and beautiful affordable housing
Habitat is...

O' Baobab
O' Baobab! O' Baobab! O' Baobab
Ace of the furnace, finest of the dynasty
You strut your breast high
And ply strain against the yearn,
Against the fire, the desire for sigh
Haughty, you stand, before the...

I Defy the Clown

I defy the clown that is closing everything down
I defy the clown and became the biggest talk of the miserable town

A Winters Tale
The bones of winter cracked the ice black, coal black night.
A hoary wind spits frost crystals that dazzle and blur the sight.
Boney fingers of bare deciduous wood, scratch against the eaves
as the stranger's tread crackles...

Distant
"Distant"
When winter came
it came fast
cold as a witch's t*t
unwelcome and
unwanted,
we hesitate
to move
any further within
the forest's interior
alarmed at how
swift the transfiguring
of a season, begins
we think,
now that in...

Deaf As Sanctuary Dust
"Therapeutic relationships
are made of healing voices
retelling stories,
strings of hopeful light
reweaving faith in future healthy climates."
Writes the aging Muse
in her fusing bodymind
for future integral love stories
As she returns,
without pen or paper,
to her safest sanctuary since childhood,

Wherein Man's Dark Curse, Felled the Olympic Gods', Part One
Wherein Man's Dark Curse, Felled The Olympic Gods',

(I.)
Thus to blindness, the fallen god was blindly bound
In a blacken tragedy, doomed to darken earth:
Nature then refused to its soothing music sound
That of existence, death...

Healing Bad Climates
Some healers counsel us not to count the cost
of healing deficits
But
successful greenest healers
win by counting costs
yet not worrying too conflicted much
about how we will cooperatively pay them
and when
and over how long a climatic time period
and...

The Inevitability of Happiness
Today,
there are no rubber ducks
or mother's marigold skirts
to hide behind
as we once did.
In their place,
lurking dark and hoary,
a bathtub mist
updrafts thick with loose spores,
and mildew veins
sprawling
behind caulked-over creases.
The day,
shrinking away heavy with time,
as a body
sagging
into
water.
Even...

She Saved Her Best For Last
She'd been raised to despise them, and despise them she did
The Orthodox, be they modern or old-fashioned, and the Chassidim
She'd grown up loathing their Sabbath and their dietary restrictions
Their clinging to...

They grope along hold

Of jealous Gods, monsters and ill-fated men who sailed the sea.
