devoid of visages; outwardly staring back at my
Abject countenance with detached contempt and...

Hanging at the last thread, giving in...

Stillness in November
Over harvested fields —
I walk beneath the fading afterglow
of a forgotten lantern a path worn
by wanderers older than the scroll of Zeno
its damp salve seeping through my coat
into my bones
Fog an Erebian curtain...

His Constant Companion
Albert Nelson's father bought a huge clock, the very day he was born,
A happy fellow, with a winsome smile. Like the merry pink sun, at dawn.

Echoes of a Silent Night: The Christmas Miracle of 1914
In a hellish nightmare pit, soldiers stand...
Along the Western Front's cruel, jagged land,
Where blood and tears paint the earth's sad lore,
They mourn their fallen with bitter taste, hearts torn.
They heeded not the cries of pain,
Nor...

On a Frosty Morn
Leaves glitter quietly, serene and slumbering,
Beneath the frost’s quick breath.
Amber, gold and mahogany – crisp as the voice of winter
Shadowed by trembling winds of December,
Hopeful and happy beneath the jewels of laughing songs,
Inspirations drifting softly...

Slow Grown Salvation
I wonder if salvation
[and ecologies of cooperative win/win forgiveness,
and political powers of health-trusting democracy,
and investment economies of mercy
beyond a capital self-investment monoculture]
Basking in privileged redemption economies
for chosen people only
can be therapeutically transformed
by inviting non-violent communication...

Howami Hmm Good Question
Howami? hmm... good question,
but for some unknown reason
more tired than usual...,

The She-Devil
Born within the realm of hell's fire, spawned in the ashen dawning,
Between brimstone's sacred flame, and sulfur's earthen cauldrons,
Given the spark of life by the elemental goddess, nature herself.
The she-devil sleeps, in her Multan rock...

Truth To Truth
TRUE ...
You know not those dark
Places, mine, the dull, black
Chasms that hold a mind
When it's bare - stark and
Keen and cold ... when it's
Left with itself for time
Unquenchable, out of the
Streams of consciousness
And normality, scraped...
