thrown down on a dare to be won or lost 
till it became...

Gold is your soul


The drive there will be boring.
The arrival so momentous!
The disappointing greeters;

From the age of three, I do remember,
The kitchen window, in mid December.
My grandma and grandad, would let me stand,
By the window to view, a garden so grand.

In December I’d see, a blanket of white,
As...

The universe is change, life is judgement

The darkness, now descending, floods the city as it dies
while shadows lurk in legions 'neath the looming Evil Eye.
Its frozen stare envelops all, it penetrates and pries,
denouncing loathed dissenters to the keepers in the sky....

A tall lanky old man, with a worn out hat and a rusty ring
His squint blues eyes pulled together the wrinkles upon his face
With an...

I change positions from my mother's womb to the bum that lays on the sidewalk;

As trumpets prepare emotions
This sordid art knows well
My hooves stomp impatiently
