Visit To Antietam
Alone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.
Before me I see countless writhing rows
of indiscernible shapes gathered
in terrible rituals mid fire and smoke
darkening the sun.
From distant...

Nothingness
“Nothingness”
Words
lines drawn
unending
dusk

dawn
characters recognised
transcribed
in the mind
where voices unheard
plant meaning
wild ivy grows
and snakelike
moves
outside the lines
electric
we become strange
symphonies sublime;
engraved in time
most rocks crumble
dissolve,
life has no need
for unnecessary
rhyme

Letters: Reduction-Finale For Circling Moments
Gazing,
Greek letters display of curious origin.
Impregnation skin softly writhing aware letters
Sea
Alpha, Omicron, Tau, Psi, Mu, Rho, pass through all the rest and each other figure 8
Jangling in strange confronting orbits
Gossamer skin flays, the letters
Pulsing, transforming,...

Power of the She Vixen That Oft Souls Destroys
Power Of The She Vixen That Oft Souls Destroys
Silk sheets graced her sweet, welcoming night bed
promised relief from pain, sorrow and dread.
With such treasure offered truth becomes blind
dark powered beauty that corrupts the mind.
Each victim...

When Scorpio Goes Dark
Antares' red glow bears firmly down
upon plush, chartreuse carpet
lying prone against the obsidian expanse,
blanketing sections of a remote
blue sphere, purling,
spinning helplessly
through distant time and space;
slave to routine and rotation,
never daring to break free;...

Tittering Totter
tittering totter is not a high heeled smoke alarm nor a ship
Valve number eighteen is open said the rasping snakelike male. Slithering. Pipe like gatherings of serpentalias sweeping. Above and below. A surface scarred tissue....

Stillness
She glides out of the room on tiptoe,
As graceful as a sinuous ballet,
Sliding past sad memories that flow,
Staring, scowling eyes upon her still prey.
As graceful as a sinuous ballet,
Stealthily steadfast, slipping slowly,
Staring, scowling eyes upon...

Storm Warning
The gathering storm rattled snakelike over distant hills,
Heads of dust and debris thrown as charcoal relief
To the vast expanse of the sky;
In the drought of reason, heat radiated a stillness,
Diseased and brooding, motionless as fissured...

The Train To Wimbledon
With a snakelike hiss, the tangerine train doors close
and the engine rock-rumbles forward
clicking over each joined metal coupling.
Long gone are the pristine days of virginity
and the impassioned rush of slick new parts.
The small...

The Praise Dancers
The Praise Dancers…
In stilled silent
space
between garnished tables,
the word exploded:
gyrating motion
spilled out
here and there;
yet
bare clapping hands
and naked feet
made
no sound.
Staccato movements
shot upward
finger waving arms—
crescendo praises
descending
bending knees
pulled
bowed heads
to poised reverence.
Sleeping...

Lone
Snakelike writhing twisting clenching soul pain.
Shooting needles crystal shards sharp and fine
Blame shame there is no gain along this vein
Mundane challenge gives no freedom to chime.
Music slowing, life blind with mist and fogs
brain seize, monochrome...
