Through the unremarkable village with its tall
Georgian Bay window panes, lightless,
devoid of visages; outwardly staring back at my
Abject countenance with detached contempt and...

slid over an intermittently scratched carbon black handrail she...

Leftbrain Avatar
LeftBrain thinking,
not an avatar
of compassionately feeling
emergent healing systems,
Chilly baptismal waters
of equanimity
do not typically suggest a warm bath
in multicultural
and global
democracy.
Is it possible,
reasonable,
healthy,
therapeutic
to carry gifts of resonant love
and extend them to those
evoking a long history
of patriarchal anger
and...

Skirting the Issue
Somebody saw the enemy’s fearless leader
secretly slinking away
The battle in the blood desert field of Raqqa
was still raging on
Hell’s fury had more than a pound of flesh
left to take
But that fearless leader,
who was seen...

My Face, My Secrets
There’s one thing that bonds animal to man,
That unites the wild with the caged,
Those captivated within bondage and those roaming free; disengaged.
At a first wandering gaze or slinking inquisitive eye,
One may be misled in the...

Asylum Story
On a rural Pequot River,
with steady New England flow
toward Long Island's warming Sound
Then on and out,
whispering drowned memories
of Atlantis
Slumbering on eastern bank,
surrounded by Native Elder spirit grounds,
ruined medicine's monolithic altars
worship insanely leviathan
brooding bruised...

Her Lover's Garden
She walked amongst the garden pews,
to smell the rose and honeydew.
She walked under the waning moon,
milky white with sweet perfume.
The restless chirped and sang their songs,
and cold wind kissed her hair and skin.
Although alone, well...

Bloody Oriskany, Part Ii
Fierce fighting raged, but surprise was gone,
the Americans rallied and pushed hard,
the Indians fell back, out of the ravine,
the patriots driving them that far.
Hand-to-hand combat broke out brutally,
with knives, clubs, and rifle-stocks,
Iroquois would wait until...

Chilled Dawn
She is shadowed by fuzzy cobwebs of a morning without coffee,
while dust motes mingle with the mold of time.

into a dismal January, she hopes to...

Contempt Has a Name
I stand naked wrapped only in the truth
you vile, loathsome reptile.

as I have been force-fed your hypocrisy.
Your postulations are lost on me
as my insight into your repulsive nature
is exceeded only...

Mesmerized I stood...
