and cringe at the carnage;
but dear, how you mesmerize
with those vivid blue eyes

Silence and Shouts

I listen to him breathing.  If it’s labored, I ask, “Are you okay?”
And from over the rings of walls of silence he has built around himself,

Borne already two children
But with second love, she was...

I think I must be seeing things
Before me stand the four of kings,
They shuffle when the Bishop brings
Annette upon nine raven wings

And Beanie rides a sea serpent
And wonders where the yellow went;
I go to pay...

Restlessness in spirit...
he became 'The Corsican,'
over-bearance of a mother
he was forced to take a stand!
And he became...
Anxious!

And he became...
Lonely!

From his father he...

I dedicate this poem to Thomas Cunningham,
who I admire for the tales he tells in poetry form.

Proud to lead

and fat cows mooed and chickens clucked, and
a rooster welcomed each...

In seventeen sixty nine a child was born
in Corsica, Genoa's former vassal state.
Prior to his birth, his land had been war-torn,
Paoli's resistance did his birth predate.

At school, his geometrical talent was inborn,
and he was tutored...

where you just have to get away

It was his Algerian door
