The Payload
"The Payload"
The payload
came crashing down
like rain expelled
from the fat belly
of a ruinous pregnant cloud
bilious with buxom promise
it came crashing down
like school fish released
from the tight confines
of a course rope...

Reply To Carl Brouard
It is not mandatory
However, I feel that it is my duty
To respond to Carl Brouard

Drinking is not a duty’
But a necessity which is obligatory
As it is crucial even...

Motherland
"Motherland"
The “Removed”,
Charlestons across the keyboard,
fingers have a personality and a mind
of their own, don’t you agree?
the stalwart mind converses with the frivolous fingers
its stark increduality, considers All above All
they’re incorrigible, those lithe fingers,
like...

The Tree Hugger and the Lost Paradise
"The Tree Hugger and the Lost Paradise"
They called her
the tree hugger,
her forest was full
of trees that watched
silently, they had
no mouth to speak,
rustling their leaves
like fingers writing
strange stories coded
for decoding a mystery

I write only for you
I write only for you,
Not for the king, so smart,
Not for Paris,
Not for the mirrors of the sky,
I only write for you.
I do not write for the abbot
Who weeps before God,
I don’t write for the...

The weaver sits before the threshold of the daystar
Upon a carpet dyed in ebony spread across an alabaster porch,
Hidden by a cape of ivory shimmers,
In between twilight’s caress and the palest...

The Certainty
THE CERTAINTY?
Every Sunday at 10.35, whatever the season,
The elderly couple from down the road walk by on their way to Matins.
It used to be 10.45 in their prime but, as age creeps on, it...

The Strange But True Story of the Lincoln Imp
Down in hell, that stronghold of sin.
strange things stir, but let me begin.
I'll get to the point. Some details I'll skimp.

Of two imps in fact, to be more...

Morning Gospel
I love my solitary matins,
morning excursions and incursions
toward simply divine places,
reading to hear voices from my past
inside prophetic choices
occupy BeLoved Community futures.
In this sacred space
we sing full time health resolutions,
ego therapeutic gospel by day,
and...

Parallelismus Membrorum
Awakening Perpetually
Awakening Perpetually
by Odin Roark
Awakening perpetually knows well
Perfection’s tuning fork disquietude,
Its awareness that any off-key meandering
Can cloud over a caressing sunshine rising,
Sour a dawning’s gardenia fragrance.
One reaches skyward with morning’s extension,
The opening of shuddered windows,
Inviting breezes...

Dead Centre
Don your hat, grab your cape and walk with me,
let's stalk the streets, take in the frosty air
on cobbled lanes, necromancing we see
confined people of shade suspended there.
They strain against the lock, peer through the...

Elegy for Old Growth
Elegy – 7-17-24

Elegy for Old Growth
Through measures of metered melancholy
The tattered winds sing a rent elegy,
A pensive wail for pristine old growth,
A drifting chant in pure pitch of final farewell –
The mute tongue howls in...

Skylarks Call Across Light of Morning
“Skylarks call across morning light”
After cold quiet stills laughter
In the deep shafts of ebony
Matins roll away stubborn stones.

Beauty Celebrates Dawn
Beauty Celebrates Dawn
Beauty Celebrates Dawn's Exquisite Flush
Mauve melding into magenta’s fuchsia blush
Pink cherry blossoms hide the sleeping thrush
Crimson cardinals dream in amaranth hush.
Like Misty Nascent Opulent Pruce
Daybreak dances in orchid shades on boughs of spruce
Soft...

Listen To the Warm
In Paradise, in it's grass, they dig holes.
In which, to place the ashes of those who can pay.
The grass grows between the Cloisters, Cathedral and
the silence of stone monks.
From within the Cloisters,...

He would bring her roses and ice cream
And on warm summer nights they sat huddled
Closely, watching silent stars slowly advance
Toward morning and waiting to hear the morning bird.
Years quickly faded into...

Missing
I looked for you again today,
I just forgot you'd gone away.
At our restaurant, you weren't there,
just me, the waiter and an empty chair.
I thought I saw you on the heath, with the dog,
but, when I...

Virtuoso
Letter chosen "V"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Virtuoso
Carnelian dawn reflects red sun rising,
Mirrors glow of vermillion flycatchers,
With scarlet plumage, so mesmerizing,
Dawn’s songbirds – virtuoso stature.
Flight song resounds through the still morning mists,
Woodland thickets embrace the day song,
Artists on wings with...

A Cherry Tree Litany
I feel the warmth of early morning sun.
The blackbird, singing in the cherry tree
Entrances all with matins just begun –
Ethereal plainchant, plangent melody.
The snow-white blossom hides a darkling bird
From eyes that would discern this source...

Cocky's Catharsis
This is a true, but amusing tale,
Hope your laughter does not fail,
'Tis a saga of a cockatoo,
Of life, he held a jaundiced view,
At the going down of the sun,
Cocky embellished his own fun,
And at the...

Father Are You There
Father....where were you when the Jews were gassed,
and countless slaves, whipped and slashed?
Father....where are you when the child-killers roam,
forever now from mother’s home
Father....where are you when your priests abuse the young,
in your house when matins...
