Cool black in lacquered polished silver chrome
Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat

Boundary Issues As Opportunities
I wonder if everyone
has a most dreaded dreamed
nightmare worst way
to conscientiously drop wrong dead.
Mine is claustrophobi-recallish buried
half alive at best is worse

A King Lamenting
A king entered in a robe,
Clothed in a raiment of
Multitudous colors:
Vast and enormous is he,
Occupying matters of matters,
Spaces of Spaces.

Before him was raident throne,
Swathed in light and graced
With fire of sulphur...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 12
His words stung me, as the cries from the maelstrom seem to retort
Their scattered, foreign words and wails retching their say
I listened, almost mesmerized,
Pulverized
