The payload
came crashing down
like rain expelled
from the fat belly
of a ruinous pregnant cloud
bilious with buxom promise
it came crashing down
like school fish released
from the tight confines
of a course rope...

An Bee Cailleach
“Éagmais croí a dhíscaoileadh ar gach eagla.
Faoi dhíon taobh istigh de na blianta seo.
Fanacht i bhfianaise, a dhíscaoileadh ar gach eagla.
Ós rud é go ndearnadh tú a chaitheamh.
Briseadh an tost seo”

The Board

Accessible rhyme is never good.
The penalty is understood?
soft titters from dark board rooms where
the businessmen paste on their hair
and, Walter Mitties, woo the Muse
with reprimands of Dr. Seuss.

Free Verse ILozenge

The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes
I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles
ghostwriting...

Bookish Menagerie: A Time Traveler's LibraryToddlers' Exploration:
Cardboard drum, a thunderous beast,
Playful roars in tiny fists and feasts.
Fleeting wings glide, dreams just out of reach,
Soaring through tales of barnyard Waddles and Squeaks,
Moo! Quack! Giggles tumble and bump.
Flaps flapping, bright colors...

The Crow Bar
"The Crow Bar"
she said,
here I bury my dead,
you can hear them sleeping
somnulent forget-me-nots,
snoring blithely unaware,
in neat rows between
the thick,
ink injected lines,
their soiled lives
ploughed and
turned over
replanted
sunnyside down
expunged and
wrung out
eventually,
not totally oblivious,

The God Complex
“The God Complex”
His face imprinted
hidden under layers of ink
he whispers his words
like a haunting breeze
dust blown off the pages
towards the back of their minds
once-in-a-while
reminding them of stories
they are eventually, all souls
book-marked
