After the Storm, Columbus Day, 1962

(all gangly knees and elbows)
bore the brunt of its ferocious aftermath.

as his handsaw scritched against the tree
which had fallen diagonally across...

Should a nation thrive as in a sundered jail?

The road to my backyard is long and straight
Evergreen trees abound and provide welcome shade
Home to myriad birds, butterflies and the bees
Last summer their branches were sawn off, without notice
The orgy with power-saws lasted barely...

As the sun endeavors to brighten it with its joyful light,
Yet nothing seemed to allay the empty house's sad tone,
For its owners are the only ones who could...

The stranger rode down Main Street
Looking evil, looking mean
He packed a pair of six guns
And a sawn off in his vest

Jack's Knife House
He whittled away
A very large branch
That in 6,000 days
Was part of his ranch
Yet not just the branch
Or a tree or two
He whittled a forest
Full, through and through
For this man and knife
Both aptly named, Jack
Had spent...

Days come and go with the morning and evening star,
tempered dreams and conclusion by all means so far.
Tears from the subtle of some despair,
how did this change of mood strangled the air.

What Captured a White Mans Heart In Africa

The things that I have known,
Some things that their beauty can be seen even in the
dawn,
Mostly on earth plants that have been sawn.

To brighten is their duty,

The Nihilist - Five: Dog-Tired Days
Parallel went the universe someplace along the line
When autumn French-kissed winter with tongues of leaf and ice;
The lamp-posts dripped drab amber with a dark and dreary shine,
A devil's brew of garnished sleet, elemental egg-fried rice.
