Flint
Flint
Within its brilliance gleaming
Cool black in lacquered polished silver chrome
Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat
Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land
In hearts felt pride American...

Ecopolitics of Time
Fr. Time is with us today, again,
or still bilateral,
I guess I should before
and after say.
No, you just did
how I will play.
You would be redundant,
to say it again,
like I just...

The Giant of Lisbellaw
Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,
Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

The Labyrinth and the Gardener
A pondering of multiple raindrops from a detrimental storm onto the empty fields, crashing into them as hard and loud as clashing metals. The depth and existence of love weighs over any deprivation an unexpected...

Victorious flirtatious foreplay
Victorious flirtatious foreplay
I awoke early - now my body will sleep,
though thoughts rise like the Azores
of snuggling next to such an adorable atomic
bombshell of a beauty - boars
into my mind with
sonata fantasy syrup passing

Bipartisan Images
There remains,
among cherished riff-raff,
old trope
tropical wet and warm
reproducing images,
Sadly resilient
and madly resonant,
About organic holes
and tumescent poles,
full-flowering
young
green feminists
of feckless zero-empty wombs,
glacier valley lows
merely reflecting
volcanic mountain peaks
1's and 0's
blushing co-binaries
of upright monotheistic YangPower
never
ever yielding to...

While Remembering
Brazil
As I drove through the heavy snow of Manquiville,
Deep in silence back to Grandfather's house, all frightened faces
Full of solemnly dreams, I remember the smell of the sea.
The unseen Grandpa's hands, pulling and pulling
The full...

Old Maid Games
I recall a card game
probably extending back past the 1950s
called Old Maid.
There was also Authors
and a few other choices
less popular with me.
But Old Maid sticks in mind
as blatantly sexist
and ageist
and, for a country kid
in redneck...

Recollections From the Golden Cree Iii
Brackish-gurgling days that
Unobtrusively slid along
Past tussock grass and curled up
Balls of Fern...
Glued tightly onto structured vanes
Of outstretched frond.
Venerable Mosses reciting epic tales,
Measured throughout Metronomical
Strains,
Chanting methodically in harmonious
Downturn -

Foreboding dialects delivered...

Steampunk
In the copper-clad cradle of time
where gears whir fugues to forgotten dreams.....
the fog—a somnolent specter—drifts.....
veiling the calculus of progress
a manuscript etched by steam and soot.
Hark The hiss of pistons proclaims
a triumph—or perhaps a dirge—
for we...

Perry and Empire
‘Twas but a mist-enshrouded speckle
dark-painted on looming horizon.
Petty worker holds unwavering watch,
silently, stealthily keeps his eyes on.
Forward motion undeniable,
each passing minute size increasing.
Small heart stands alert and viable –
beating fast and tremulous; though, never...

Baptized In the Jordan
Baptized in the Jordan
The preacher announced on the bus:
"We are heading to the Jordan river,
those wishing to be baptized
will get their chance."
Thoughts of being dunked
in the same water
as the real Jesus.
That appealed to me.
Visions of...

Let Them Burn
I shall bloom with unrelenting persistence
and murderous resistance,
fighting back with mental pistons,
shattering the framerworks of my current existence.
I find self expression
from the roots of my depression
and resilience
in the past I'm repressing.
This obsession
drives me up the...
