themselves puzzled
genuflecting to a deity
they do not know, nor wish to
fumbling
mouths closed,

rust crumbles to dust
Virulent apathy spreads
Betrayal’s destruction

while the blazing locks
of her rampant mane

in forests laced by glinting streams

Strange Creatures and the Forest of Egregore
“Strange Creatures and The Forest of Egregore”

when our rosebuds
stop still in the cold,
unwanted,
along the unopened road?
we walk into the
forest alone,
there we meet
strange creatures -

The Crow Bar
"The Crow Bar"
she said,
here I bury my dead,
you can hear them sleeping
somnulent forget-me-nots,
snoring blithely unaware,
in neat rows between
the thick,
ink injected lines,
their soiled lives
ploughed and
turned over
replanted
sunnyside down

wrung out
eventually,
not totally oblivious,

buried the misdiagnosed slanders
then wiped their mouths
