still accessible in diverse backward
and forward
reforesting cultures,

when a great and portentous series of loving events

As We Metamorphose

touched by spirit, our body shook
by God’s light blest as we undressed”

PathomanicShe crept through darkness
In the graveyard she dug
Looking for her love
Her one and only love
Her heart pumps scarlet drops
As her eyes search for the sorrow
Of black birds flying
Soaring through the gray clouds
She walks alone

Tyrant Tears and FearsMarried for eleven years
It began simply, with daily tears
It wasn’t always bad

Anguish…shadows over their...
