Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania circa early 1970'S

(just in time for end of summer reading...

When nights are dark you’ll never see
the depths of our humanity,

Smoke wafted across the village,
The swack,swack, swack, sound
Of a helicopter inbound, 
was heard,
Grass and dust churned and curled,
As it landed, 
Amidst the carnage caused,
By it’s crew now disbanded,
The horrors of war, 
are but dreams when...

we’ll see the Seven Churches!”...

Though joyousness impaled,
albeit skewered over poker hot coals

asserts, damned feeble endeavor
fostering, glomming, harking
futile hellbent fixation manifests
imperceptible yearning inclination
atavistic aspiration toward archangel
fleetingly overrides pathos

prevalent within pathetic psyche
regarding mental...

RESPECT YOUR FREEDOM

I glance through my verandah window,
Birds flying over my head freely.
I imagined myself floating like them,
In pain complicated, reminiscence shown deeply.

The afternoon breeze breeds an aroma,
Like fresh cologne of summer ivies.

vanilla with tender dots, a llama attached,

Casualties of war


Godlike?  No.  Human?  Maybe.
Yet living above the bones of dead babies.
Who fell to their deaths from the top of the world,
The forgotten, the miscarried, the unfortunate boys and girls.

Another dead statistic dawns today, 
Contempt dissolved foundations love astray. 
   Malicious memories of miscarried mirth, 
   Repetitious resolving rends rebirth. 

Too far, too strange, oh we have now become.

tears carved vacant craters of faceless grin

fake smile wrestled with mute hollow mark

masked terror scorched a defenceless skin

soiled canvass shed masked terror in the dark


breathless submerged by cascades of sorrow

she lived charades of miscarried contempt

those worlds are lost to me now,
once achingly close,
like yesterday's rain,
but, will I see you then,
in this egg of memory,
cracked open with a sigh,
fleeing like smoke,
with a faint smile on a face,
ghosting in kodachrome?
ah, but...
