a dusty porch   a rickety chair   
the fabric of your dusky face creased
with ceaseless sunbaked woes
your old pair of getaway feet gives

Red and blue emergency lights 
strafe empty lots where homes

The burning sand, the scorching sun

In the distance the sound of a gun.

Far from home, in the blistering heat

You sobbed when you observed your lovely spouse.

You taught me to put to the test

In harbor previously thought true safe.

Tempests That Eat Upon Stony Shores


There lay hidden- shadows in a great storm
tempest that eats upon this stony shore.
Night hiding devils wrecking such great harm

In what way may i stay safe?

~CONFESSION~

A confession it was all
Freed my soul
Of the stacked sin of ages
Dare not to be spoken by the sages

A lowly being of  present time
Inhaling  air putrid and  vile
Watching as trees climb to awesome heights 
To breathe fresh air high up in the skies.
