The bones of winter cracked the ice black, coal black night.
A hoary wind spits frost crystals that dazzle and blur the sight.
Boney fingers of bare deciduous wood, scratch against the eaves
as the stranger's tread crackles...

Shadow Dance---I'Lyezette

Lying beside my cold, stale ashes
I feel the dawn preparing her day
With little, hushed peaceful gestures
Then upon opening my eyes, I greet her crimson smile
Slowly peering over the horizon, whilst over I turn
And say good...

we play our life role
exuding a scent
granting love consent"
We burble and bubble likes ripples in a swift current.
It's our role in life, but not everything can we control.
We scowl and frown, howl...

Malicious Eulogy
Dry rotted benches all splintered and frail.
Transparent spirits fill the isles and the air.
In the old decrepit church they try to stay seated,
while the Malicious Eulogy is hellaciously completed.

Elegy For Neil
Our great Balboa has left the hillock bare
And two waters converge in evening mist
Where from our vision he made us stare
As the divided dimensions rose and kiss
So sleep the sailor, so sleep the caravel

Hope Cycle
7/25/21. Hope Cycle

Forcing the oozing of emotions
It didn’t seem possible to touch.
And then, entangled, the...

The Apples of His Eyes
The Apple of His Eyes

held precious in the lady’s hand.

gathered with a serpentine backhand.
the limbs of oz took hold, as
the man held out his unwise hand.
