I sense that a silence doth sneak ‘tween cracks of weathered wood,
Conniving with that which shadows...

Once the night had fallen upon a sleepless slumber,
Whence the winter woke me when the third was three in number.

I sense that a wince doth lurk and wear which wicked gaze,
Of conniving shadows cast between...

Thrice the night—the day!—both fell to sleepless slumber,
But now in Spring, though yet again: The third was three in number. 

I sense a wince remind itself,
Of what it means to be,
Instead to beg for booked...

Frice the week along with night had fallen to sleepless slumber,
Trapped again 'tween times when thirds are three in number.

I sense a grimace gurgle in these halls of boned wall,
The aching whims and shaking limbs:...

STATIONS

Hark! Oh, Angels, where art Thou?!
'Tis here that thou art needest now!

To bear the Cross to Calvary!

While crowds all gather, He is not alone

my soul awakens in a tranquil silence
it floats away with waves leaving my body
a spirit astray guided by pristine breeze
that blankets my photons in a lit entropy
a silhouette I become in...

Here’s a starry poem one might call ekphrastic
about an exploding fireball fantastic
from a ‘nova’, imaged with time-lapse clarity,
all the more remarkable for the rarity
of tracking its expansion– which researchers say
engulfs a place in outer space...

"We don't burn, we bury,
Siphons of spirit, patrons of decay,
Your coffin our canvas, our home your cemetery,
The only unstoppable force that even time does not delay,
For my Lady's power is omnipotent not in force,

I have my constitution
which exists in the tablets of my mind,
It's not an illusion,

The Bewail city

Ragged into pieces of pain
Each piece tormenting a certain taxpayer
Not even a solitary taxpayer skimped on
Oh the city of bewail!

Jack O' Lantern jeers through 
molten screen
With fiery eyes and a fifth sense 
so keen
Masked goblins saunter in shadows

Billowing ghosts in phosphorescent, 
satin mantles teem
Stolid Jack bathes...
