No God of Mine - 2021 Edit
[This poem 'No God Of Mine' was seemingly confounding readers as
to its meaning. Ordinarily, if I felt a poem wasn't cutting it, I'd delete

Imagination
Every second, every minute, every single thought about you
Wonders of this still could be too good to be true

Intertwined
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intertwined in everything and nothing. Apart forever and never apart. Always reaching, never meeting. Intertwined in nothing and everything.

is not that which wraps
you in comfortably warm
fluffed-up silky
cashmere blankets
of insecure insincerity
simple scribbles
bleating from the
chirping crickets

No God of Mine
Cement, sand and gravel, blood, body and soul
Eternity bred from hell's darkest hole

and perhaps it could,
to not be known
and recognized
and to not find icons of and for gratitude

Old Maid Games
I recall a card game
probably extending back past the 1950s
called Old Maid.
There was also Authors
and a few other choices
less popular with me.
But Old Maid sticks in mind
as blatantly sexist
and ageist
and, for a country kid
in redneck...

Tao of System Balance

whether positive or negative,
regeneratively sustainable
or strained out toward dissonant chaos

Through the broken lines of destiny, the shattered strings of time are revealed
Through the broken lines of destiny, the shattered strings of time are revealed,
The thread of fate snaps, the springs of eternity unravel silently,
