Long Salt of the earth Poems

How I loved those Wednesday evenings, 
The games, the pomp and seriousness of the camps, 
The different coloured scarves, sweaters and hair 
During the mass meetings, 
The solemnity...

To this day, the breath labours on still 
Marrow birthing blood same as ever 
to keep this battered carriage oiled
The soul wills the flesh to hobble on 
and prays the spirit keeps aflame 
The game...

Lack of luminous light love bought,
Darkness did give her a chase. 
Open to no one was her, 
Water beneath and air above. 
Open to someone...

prosper the nation they established.

Though imperfect, they did their best,
To establish...

Dali’s time piece warps under face value

and an eagle-eyed-cuckoo flies over its nest


beneath the cover of cotton candy clouds

she relieves herself into Magritte’s...

All aboard, all aboard—!

I met my love one summer's day

Amongst the fields threshing hay

Her bonnet slung about her neck

As homewards afterwards we did trek

Her bonny brown hair

to waist length did fall

A comely wench with wherewithal

She at first was...

where some feel if there was no God there would...

Sanitation, fluorescent lights, and a PC pillow for smother.
Agree! Agree! Atone! Suck it in and suff-o-cate.

The sun, the moon, and stars on high.
Hours in the day we've four and twenty—
Mountains and trees and lots of sky.

And say...

when there is nothing that you can personally do
it's time to step back and let Jesus fix it for you

Never look back
Never reminisce fondly
on things that weren't good for you in life
Don't be like Lot's wife ... don't look back

and got him a wife,
who bare him...

The Atomic Café stays with me, over
even the most perfect of days.
I think about the arrogance of power
and how most people live in a daze.

I think on the geniality of the average citizen, 
how willing,...

Salt of The Earth



Ordinary people
That’s who we are
Our triumphs
Our sacrifices
Loves
And torments
Go unsung
For the most part 
Un-noticed by anyone

Ordinary people

Quite sperate 
From the world of celebrity
Who’s weight loss and weight gain
Who’s...
