The Cowboy
The Cowboy
A hundred thousand miles
were written on his face
He'd earned near every wrinkle
Did this cowboy known as "Jace"
He'd ridden cross the country
From Death Valley up to Maine
In weather full of sunshine
To the roughest hurricane

Ah! Here comes another pawn* should I trifle with him?
Or should I do it quickly and painlessly?

One Word
with midnight dreams we dance
unyielding, i stir unwilling to awaken
incessantly seeking
You
like virgin wings of the monarch, your shape gently unfolds

The City of Lost Souls

Of Louisiana, guarded by the ghosts of the Mississippi,
And here the dead tell know tails, of the living's returning,

Enchantress (Let Me Chisel Talk You) (Part One)
O! Ferocious temptress of the land, sea and air.

Amazon warrior of deadly desires,
Hold my sword, it...

Three Turtle Songs
Turtle by the Door
The bears and wolves are few;
one threadbare widow mourning,
two grays as consumptive as smoke.
