Visit To AntietamAlone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.

of indiscernible shapes gathered
in terrible rituals mid fire and smoke
darkening the sun.
From distant...

The Reptilian Anthropocene
"The Reptilian Anthropocene"

thinking they are free-willed

Burnt Aqua
"Burnt Aqua"
I can taste the sun

my throat
like burnt aqua

waking from slumber’s dream dance
a small death in life...

The Submisive Loser Dominant Victors Shower Of Rage The Naked brazen placid blue

Who unleashes his growing anger and fury
