The Angry Black Woman
She stood with her back turned to me

Liturgy for the Damned of Progress
My wounded heart drinks deep from the rotting gut of misery,
Humanity vomits its relics onto the oozing tiles of the real.

Their innocence smashed, face down on the concrete...

The Call of the Grimoire
"The Call of the Grimoire"
when Exalibur was retrieved
from the rock, then foolishly
and irretrievably lost
in that dreadful battle most worthless
the imps encouraged
the once good Poesie folk
to jeer and throw pebbles

And my SOS signal didn’t seem to bring God into it

Yet I Remain Faithful
Filthy and foul I found you,
garnished in grime,
drenched in dust,
polluted in your own putrid blood,
orphaned, alone, helpless.
