Long Royal court Poems

I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow

see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels 
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort 
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats 
love-crushed oracles
ghostwriting...

"Christmas in the Cathedral of the Forest Deep"




The silent heart is found 
embedded in the 
Cathedral of 
The Forest Deep

shines in the dark

this place... Weymouth - a small tranquil village! 
How far is my Stratford from here? 
my Stratford-on-Avon! 
The Shangri-la of a dramatist's imagination!

Assuming, I had a very very long slumber…

Their belongings and essentials
And they rode by wheel-borne carriage 
On the road down to the harbour 
 
There they stepped aboard the vessel
That would take...

POLLY WANT A CRACKER??

…and so they play
political musical chairs
uncostumed clowns
scampering about

at the behavior
of their adversaries,
grandstanding before
a shepherdless congress,
Milling...
