Long Infirmed Poems

Glowing red eyes and chiseled teeth ...
Claws and horns and forked tails,

         ...

lying prone against the obsidian expanse,
blanketing sections of a remote 
blue sphere, purling,

A sudden awakening,
An urgent hand shaking my shoulder,
Through weary eyes I see the valley blackening,
Their steady thunderous march animates river and boulder,

These days, when I look at you
Fear transcends
Your heaviness
Your electric breathing
Your encompassing total body

Wish them well
As off they go
In rocking boat's
On this day to be named D
