We didn’t stick to the old script
And were gladly amazed
And rarely unfazed
Hitting strange towns though some were skipped

We started from Thatsnot, OK
Which was more or less ok
But then...

Ashen faced Prometheus aghast at inferno gone awry
Ashen faced Prometheus aghast at inferno gone awry

Whether arsonist at fault
or confluence of ripe conditions
triggering perfect firestorm,
the titan of fire beside himself with misery,
though no fault of his own
the raging bullish conflagration

I would add,
to all Revolutionary Peace Warriors,

Although not necessarily sufficient 
without further distinguishing 
positive recycling of evolution
v. singular purpose of devolution, 
zero-sum decay, 
flat-line death.

Earth's regenerative evolution

Bird Feed Under My Window
Since childhood I was always fascinated with nature
Curious to know how plants grow 
Always intrigued by the ingenuity of ants 
And mesmerized by the coordination 
And spectacular tactics of birds. 

Birds come in different colors...

This is the town to beat the rest,
Where history and present blend

Premium Member Stalked By August Trees

Trees stand by to mentor

to feed with branched hands
to bleed when uprooted

While snow fell to the ground
Reminded me of a dreamed

Before I fell asleep I
Had many questions

And their ridge-top elevation 
Gave advantage of perspective 
They could see the forest's ending
 
In the distance. That same evening 
Would reveal a stronger reason 
For Ipiki's intervention

It's time to release the beast off the leash
And have a feast
Sinking my teeth
Into each, until they cease

Weep For Me I'M Dying

Of a country torn asunder.
Of Zimbabwe ne'er forgotten -
