elegantly weaves in waves
flowing up from resources red cinder hot,
similar in warm color
temperature decrees
of beauty as integrity's truth
trust each surrounding flame.
Each flame
unique in point of origin below
as ubiquitously flickering fading destinations above.

The Dancing: the Last DanceWas it a cruel twist of fate?
Sneering, laughing chance?
Perhaps something I ate?
A bad bout of happenstance?
It wrenched and tore at my gut,
A sickening, sober, foreboding sign.
Wretched chance it was not,
This time was by insidious design.

Comedy of Impeaching ErrorsThe Republican congressmen,
and I do mean white privileged straight men,

So maybe we could stage
a comedic debate

Constrict, exert, constrict, struggle,
Spin slowly, push ...
That's it. That's all.
Nothing more.
But it helps ... relief,
A body sigh ...
But only...
