How one twenty first century married mortal male (me - Matthew Scott Harris)...
found himself bewitched about Circe,
particularly after reading book title by the same name.

An enchantress and a minor goddess
in ancient Greek mythology and religion
depicted...

The “existence of God” can’t be proven by Science.
Since man’s reasoning seems to run God off the rails.
There’s the alternate view that “the world just exists,”
But whatever your take, devil lives in details.

How can God...

...McClors rode up, and smiled quite thin,
He said,”Woman, get away from him!
You come with me now, and it will suffice.
You play more of these games, and you’ll get the knife.”

THE ACRYLIC BLUES 
Warm winter days……… and sultry summer afternoons 
With rainbows so bright……. they could even shine at midnight
Those were the merry days…… those were the very merry days
When you spun silly little stories...

Tucked away in this lovely town of harmony
where tourists visit often

A heavy heart this papa doth air

Because they're so great not just one would do.

Like with kids where there is sister there's brother.
One looks like dad and the other their mother.

But I do have...

We all of us may well be nothing
more than a number after all

Patiently both spending and biding 
our time awaiting to see 

If in fact our very own particular...

Been one heck of a year and some month
Recently got a buzz cut
I'm buzzed yup
I was down and I was up
No longer such a young buck
Always f***ed up
What a f*** up
Shut up
And hush up

Pettiness continually...

Some walked, others biked
As we gathered at the park
There was Jimmy, Peewee
Ricky, Billy and Mark
Neighborhood boys
From blocks around, they'd descend
For the Sandlot World Series
It was friend against friend

There were seven to a side
The bat was...

He was in none of my classes
In the 1980's
And I saw him only on test days
Where one had to perform his "kata"
And fight in the ring
For the Sensai to do his thing

At these graduation tests

It seemed as though she'd made a deal;
With Satan in the flesh. 
Put her name on a twenty five year note. 

She didn't know she'd sold her soul;
By signing on that line. 
Fate wasn't hers,...

She would undream her burdens, her life's 
Map of drudgery; all those years
She is hardened enough to hold tears;

Her hand never slackened by the
Fusty, hard stone of labour and love-hunger;
From the shelter of her face...

It seems to be a dark dubious world
We’re bringing you into
Threatening and not so promising
How long can we shelter you from it all
You’re tiny not even able to crawl

I stopped at a fancy food store.
With Mothers’ Day coming tomorrow,
I lucked out with choices galore.

My daughter loves everything chocolate
And one seemed to really just pop –

Known for miles around
As the Queen of Croissants
She’d perfected her art for years
But at what cost
More physically demanding than you might think
She gave the best years of her youth
Working at a small town bakery

Nobody prepares you
For life after a loss.
All the words are the same
But they don't tell you it's hard.
They expect you to know
That waking up is weighed with guilt.

They don't warn you 
About the fear of...

face frozen,
no lights in your brown eyes.

lucked in  safe,
to far from day lights,
