kaisers, kings, emperors fight for territory
  dispensable bodies left in the ground on foreign soil, unreturned
  militarisation of memory and folly
  an Irish nation half-wrenched from a bloodied and wearied empire

Hiker Dude

Commander of the view of the curving earth
the Piñon stands a-grip a forest of boulders,
jagged giants, held in place by her, a part of her,
at her bidding.

The lone hiker dude,

Chinks of light filter
thru pitchblack emotional prison
vestigial shadow figure hunkers,
an atrophied, mortified, petrified old man
implacable self destructive nemesis
birthed in league pitiful human shambles,

his abysmally forlorn existence
scotched, sabotaged, severely short changed
agonizing depression tortures psyche
family abandoned nsync,
entrenched...

Avoiding traffic as it trudges along
Carries the hardened armor of its ancestry
Down there too, through the centuries
The weight of that nobility 
With it, on its back,...

Floating through life
Like a feather she flies
Wings carry her away from certain demise
Fluttering through skies so blue
The flock chirps their cue

Bad weather is coming
Thunder drumming
Rain pitter patters on the roof,
feathers ruffle
A ball of floof
Chicks in...

Old mean widow lady of ninety-two

lives by herself with nothing else to do

Hunkers in her chair next to the window

stares out for hours with dreams of her bingo


She is labeled mentally unstable

Plays solitary on the...

At the glassy gate, I wait for you
adding cherry between breaths
adding robes to your soft name
ushering the syllables through my warm mouth
echoing like the sight of a star

And like banshees crying out all alone,
howling winds bring a chill to the bone.

Freezing temps take the fun out of play
when blustery winds...

Knowing he was going to show us an animal full of grace.

And, he told me, this is why...

Wild kitten plays with his tale.

Wild kitten trembles in the wind.

Wild kitten crawls along the ground.

Wild kitten sleeps so sound.

Wild kitten was so lost...

Dancing in mid-day sun, in Kansas heat,
was a land of grain tender and sweet.
Over to the east sparkling in the sun,
was piles of corn, picked and done.
Harvest went, along with winter meat.

Winter comes hard in...
