Just before  the break of dawn
Sending a message to everyone
Telling them to remain calm
The angels are singing out loud
They want to break the treacherous cloud
 and relinquish that awful...

The foyer to inspect their
Achievement. Damian came
Down the staircase and looked
Around. Pleased with the
Organization skills of his
Offspring, he Loosened his 
Belt. And asked, "what do you
Think of yourselves, you think
You did...

After the doomsday clock struck midnight...

a blizzard of blinding demoniacal
highly radioactive fueled banshees
(analogous to a bajillion barenaked ladies
raging against the machine)
barreled across the brutalized landscape
affixing fiendish scorched earth signature
whereby survivors felt like foreigners,
or strangers in...

My Friends, My Faith, My Hope

As musk from a perfume seller,
Time spent in their knowledgeable company priceless,
Positive demeanor, manner, sincerity, such bliss
Mashing my cobwebs with threads of awareness
Instilling vitality...

It's not my choices
I regret,

But,
sometimes what I didn't choose
to do
or join
or say
or at least not forget

or mashing down

in a wealthier nontraumatic time
for restoring EarthTribe Justice

And,
most of all,
I regret

My apparent inability

Sitting in church on a warm Sunday morn
we were thinking of food as the service drug on
Instead of the sermon, we could hear tummies rumble

Incense clings in the air
great clouds
stealing into dark corners
of stained wood and cold marble floors.
I watch the casket roll by
and memories take me.
Unwilling.
Here I knelt on red velvet cushions and confessed my darkest sins.
Mortal an...

Love they spout, love they falsely declare, 
Yet their eyes betray a darkness, a glare.
A cocktail of hatred, lust, and envy, 
Craving what's not theirs, God deems unholy.

Love they proclaim, a charade so grand, 
Indulging...

If there were no Thanksgiving this year?
What? No turkey with trimmings?
No hams?

What if everyone...

Just a couple weeks away
I will review the food for you

Mashing up some fresh potatoes

accursed creepily haunting
Phantasmagoria wraiths
vandalize residents psyches
within their sleep induced state

Sublimation shunts
slumbering souls
unknowingly held hostage
successfully sacrificing

Semi-smothered silent species
snoring simians steadfastly succumb
subsequent sibilant sounds
woo woebegone wicked transmogrification

dilapidated divested bodies deposited
wizard waves wand
watching whirling wretched lovely bones
whipsawing (in...
