The Amistad Mutiny
The Amistad Mutiny
Slavery, a dirty word no matter how it’s pronounced:
Abducted and herded to the slave fortress of Lomboko1 for trade.
To be tossed in chains below deck on the Portuguese ship Tecora,2
Sailing the Atlantic Middle...

Robust Religious Freedoms
Congress shall make no laws respecting
[or disrespecting]
an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting free exercise
[orthodox praxis] thereof.
hmmm, who writes this stuff, anyway?
Religion and its healthy exercise
are exempt from acts of Congress.
What is this religion that needs freedom...

History's Sad Song
History's Sad Song (Revised)
throughout my life
I've heard many a sad song
relating to the lyrics
that seemed to play too long
way back during the Crusade
where religious debt was paid
by the bloodlust of so many
could not ye God...

What Might Be Seen
Natural predication
greets sacred promise
to restore peaceful justice.
Omnipresent predication
greets polypathic promise
for restoring love as grace-filling justice.
Omnipotently disintegrative powers
of HellFire prediction
too quickly settle for monoculturing retribution,
punishment
due to FallenNature's past spiritual sins
in absence of paid-forward
gift economies
for notnot co-arising

Earth Balloon
WinWin Balloon EcoPolitics
for growing community health,
said the EarthBalloon economist,
is most effectively improved
by focusing on the bottom
of Earth's sacred communal balloon,
accepting shared responsibility
for those stuck in ground floor economies
of chronic survival issues,
perpetually repeating despairing depressed circles,

Untimely Silence
Most folks I loved
died when I was in my thirties.
Not just people,
but our San Francisco bohemian mecca lifestyle,
our 365 days and nights celebration
turned into an epidemic of waiting
and watching
and mourning our losses,
wondering about possibilities of...

In Case You Missed It - Revisit
My eyes have not grown too weak or dim
to ignore what they've long been seeing
pretenders who wear a mask of disguise
like a skier who's not proficient at skiing

The Wedgie
There's lots of play to underwear.

Who hang down t'wards my feet.
Elastic waistband hugs my hips,
Prohibiting their fall,
Much better than the...

Sestina: Deforestation
Lost in the green, leafy space,
Resting on his back out in the country,
The old hermit picks himself up and stands.
He begins the morning trek in the forest
Admiring the nature filled scenery—
The last retreat from the...

Oratory - Power of the Spoken Word
As words escaped constricted passage
of time from eons of layered myths,
legends of demi-gods thus linked,
in glowing rendition, with whisk on hand
the Orator with staff, sang the Eel to slumber.
As words from parched lips of orchids,...

Existential Reprise
Before I scarred the page
Raging what your letters cannot invent
Let me invite you to other books
I wrote before you owed me wage
For all maladjustment and discontent
Tettering on tentacles on hooks
Invite you to an open age

Owl Eyes
4/18/2018
Wide melancholic Owl Eyed glass goddess
Almost hypnotic, guilt trips semi-honest.
Her pain is contagious, vocally pulling heart strings
All guilty pleas are aimless, only her tragic tone sings.
Transparency: easily broken reflection of an identical image
-20 degrees: only...

Staying Awhile
Bought at an antiques store for a song:

BLACK DEFORESTATION
BLACK DEFORESTATION
Like innocent trees rooted and growing
In a black social forest, we’re being chopped
down by roving lumberjack officers of the law,
as if we were arboreal-like diseased black growths:-
Ironically, such deforestation, is a view of jurisprudence

In one spiritual being we do agree
Under varied names we called thee

Transformed By Willingness
I've been transformed by willingness, and a desire
to move forward without keeping sad things in mind.

New Normal
Choose chivalry in the new millennium
Hounded by instant institutions
Vying in the main to inhabit any cranium
Prone to proclivities prohibiting and inhibiting affections.
Inject zeal and steel
Into backs bent on the Facebook platform

Do You Sometimes Feel This Way?
Hebetudinous life slipping away,
With the tick tock of the clock
Killing me every disgruntling second,
Of every bloody hour of every day
This preposterous plague of sadness
Prohibiting my pleasures
Dictating the dose strength of my badness
In its...
