Oak
"Oak"
The guardians
stood around and
shook their heads
great thoughts
quivering
from the ground, roots up,
as if to walk
confidently
with great armies
yet hesitation
was witnessed
in their waving gestures
perplexed
and touching
green crowns,
there they...

8 Little EgyptsSomething strange
and unexplainable comes this way,
this way, it comes to us sly and fast,
some say, perhaps,
it has already arrived,
it walks unseen, in the midst of all, of us
we go about our...

The Scroll of SorceressThe Scroll of Sorceress:
I do dark arts,
I do allure men to beat drums,
I cast spell through evil eye beads,
My dirty tricks no one reads,
I am someone who never cheats.

I am wise...

who people called horrid, a witch and a hag
And 'though she was ugly and danced 'mid moonbeams

Tears are immortal endless Messages
Tears are not just drops
That fall from the eyes

And need deciphering
Tears are not just drops
That fall from the eyes
Tears are words
Were written with all languages
And...

The Barghest's MonodyTherewithal, profluent life ettles it's while.
Thitherward, from Death's bleak campanile
Grim antiphonals serenade.
A capriccio, the slashing swipe of the reaper's scythe
will serenade.
Stringent Death forthwith anoints the mithridate to
Life's cantankerous and rankling ado
Hither now come, anon...

With a frail heart I forgive
It mimicks the sound of life

the perimeter of the lake. Overhead there is only
gray, as...

Among the forests of ideas that get lost in dense fogsAmong the forests of ideas that get lost in dense fogs,
On high cliffs, beliefs carved into the mountain's root,
We stand bound by incantations, by formulas we recite like a litany,
With hearts full of ancient seals,...

through the vast and endless valley
where myriads of trees grow in tight rows
marked by long lines of rich, robust soils
that brighten with the rising sun.
I am happily lost in...

Two Murders - Part Iii Finis3.
Death, the Master, wears a thousand faces.
The white smile of the skull
Lies behind the 5 O'Clock shadow
And beneath, perhaps, those laughing eyes
Looking your way across the bar.
When the shock begins to fade I turn off...

Acts To ZenithActs of contrition, on knees if I recount
Beatitudes, eight, sermon on the mount
Charity given, is blessings received
Dalai Lama, a Buddhist deity

Fascism erodes individual rights
Gaia, Greek goddess of our mother earth
Heresy, one's...

Of plums growing wild in thickets dark
There for taking by man or lark
Beside running waters where...

Call To ArmsEarth left shattered, broken ground
Call of duty raised the dead
Screams are felt, no need for sound
Blazing orange spotted red

Pillaged homes and raided farms
Burning bush may well have said
All men rise...

After This1/19/16

The road ahead is hazardous
Beside many establishments
Waters with or without halibuts
And areas where the ground and air has traces of contaminants
Bought her a lot of amethyst
And garnets that were called...

IronA time to rake; to search embers,
to pore over resurrected,
fire-damaged relics.
On an ancient shore
driftwood, fagots, and reeds
are heaped up onto a pyre of time.
After the fire there is a sorting.
a probing for talismans and trinkets.
