Psychologically still thirteen
Psychologically still thirteen
Ordinarily meaning pre Internet days
familiarization with me would entail
bringing the avid listener

Open Oceans
"Open Oceans"
Kneeling on pearls
wisdom preys
praying

hungry hearts
count the days
wasting away
in all that preying
for prayers
to be answered
children become
strangers
reading
strange words
finding
themselves puzzled
genuflecting to a deity
they do not know, nor wish to
fumbling
mouths closed,
swallowed hole

Celena, Brave Celena- Part 1
From Judges 11.
Pronunciation: Seh-LAY-nah
His brothers cast the young man out, the child of an harlot;
He fled away to distant Tob before they found an outlet
For anger, more than what they'd done, to fully disinherit
And drive...

Tessellate
“Tessellate”
on the surface
it’s easy to see
we tessellate
inadvertent
decorative ostentatious
flirtatious lives taking risks
with the other sides
planned strategic functional

Cattle within the herd
cages within the slaughter
Profiteers prey upon the wounded
Branded comodified beings consumed
In consumption
Led to the plunder of themselves
Within the plotted grids of bondaged earth

Small Mutinies
"Small Mutinies"
So what if my point of view
is not that which wraps
you in comfortably warm
fluffed-up silky
cashmere blankets
of insecure insincerity

And jumped up in joy with a sinuous leap.
Time for some mischief, he mischievously said,
I'll shake up Manvile and fill them with dread.
For such a vile creature was the...

Darius Was the Medo-Persian King
Darius was the Medo-Persian king,
Which means he was in charge of everything.
One hundred twenty satraps gave account,
So he would have an up-to-date amount;
All this so that he might not suffer loss.

Zero.
I imagine you watched,
With awe and wonder
At the image on the screen,
My movements
In black and white,
As the sonographer moved the wand,
Up and down
The belly of my mother,
Showing you
Mystery and excitement,
The next chapter...

Autumn's sinking sun,
barred by spindle trees and the last
