An entire week I handled it-
The teasing and the taunting and
Every night the moon shone down-
Was really very daunting.

Judge John squinted his eyes at me,
T'was approximately mid morning.
Cleaned his ear with his finger-
"Am giving you...

Here she approaches, dark in complexion…
Exposed majestically in a catwalk,
Principle looking personality considered for deliberation.
Optimistic to achieve the world most valuable models award.
Built from positive cementation and aspiration,
Indeed, her skin proves she`s never coward.

We count...

When I watched a horse work with perfection and grace.
I said "pardon me gent, no offense is meant,

more than as isolated egocentric wanderers
more eccentric
than supported by nurturing environments 
ego/eco-centrically populated
with WinWin players.

EcoCentric thoughts

‘Hey stomach,’ says anus,
‘Would you cut the crap.’
“It’s not me,’ stomach says;
‘I won’t take the wrap.

It’s what they’re eating,
So blame teeth and mouth.
I’m innocent,’ says stomach,
‘For that filth down south.’

Brain has a good laugh

In my eyes as a child my dreams forever grow,
I can catch the talons of an eagle and slay the meanest foe,
Drop to the peak of the mountain top and set my Princess free,
Dive the...

She gave a lot of excuses
So many reason why…
Reasons why she couldn’t try
She would sometimes cry
Make a scene
And go back to her life of sin
Cheating herself
And nobody else
She thought she was smart
And she would tell...

OLD TOWN ELEGY
  
The bridge still spans the road - with what design?
The rail that once crossed Ridgeway and vale to the sea
Erased and gone, with scarce residual sign
And barely more trace than near...

Perhaps you’ll start to suddenly
Put your logic up on a shelf
Open your mind and let yourself
See things you never dared to see

The year here was 1901
An unknown battle...

To witness the great work of creation
When from the dust emerged the first man
I saw the destruction of the Noah’s world
And the reconstruction thereafter
The earliest civilization on Egypt soil
Unfolded before my...

Unity gone into creation
All of the heaven's sing in elation

The water teamed together

as a beetle -1912


Photographs of Wystan

One of the world's
greatest poets
in a pose, similar
to an Anne Gedde's baby
 
Balancing beetle antennae
his head at an angle
a satin suit padded to
emulate the chest

A tiny flame that flickered in the dark,
But soon it grew, and oh! How it glowed,
Until it filled my heart and overflowed.

At first, it was a rush...
