When It Struck 11
When it struck 11, I sighed in relief
When it struck 11, I haven't felt grief
The time kept ticking on and it wasn't brief
And I'm so… patiently shaking like a leaf
Vigorously feeling vital everyday...
Every minute...every second...come...

Kneeling on pearls
wisdom preys

hungry hearts

wasting away
in all that preying
for prayers

children become
strangers

strange words
finding
themselves puzzled
genuflecting to a deity
they do not know, nor wish to

“Frequency”
we are separated
from the others
by a thin membrane
electromagnetic
we are receptors
unignited ununited
only tuned into our own
frequency
existing to be lit
the fuses touching
reaching delicately
that which we do
and do not see,
believe

The True Mother
“The True Mother”
What part of a heart
in another could one trust
when betrayal comes
like a silver bullet, words and deeds
sharp piercing to burrow
bleed out Life’s dreams
rust crumbles to dust
Virulent apathy spreads
Betrayal’s destruction

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 34
I listened to his heart profusely,
For a beat like his was much to ponder
I often wondered, his thoughts, and,
A light in me knew, with wretched wonderment
What the whispers in his mutterings meant to me
They...

The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes
I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles

The Dancing: the Last Dance
Was it a cruel twist of fate?
Sneering, laughing chance?
Perhaps something I ate?
A bad bout of happenstance?
It wrenched and tore at my gut,
A sickening, sober, foreboding sign.
Wretched chance it was not,
This time was by insidious design.

For anger, more than what they'd done, to fully disinherit
And drive...

I am an Outlander

Along whose banks the Ozarks Bluff Dwellers and the Osage and then Delaware
Hunted, fished, and created shelter
For their...
