Pardon my condor sensitivity,
	but can I be 
dead serious candid with you

likewise you languish knowing what you're about,

Cover me in feathery down,
warmth against winter chills and frozen  ground
leave me to sleep in deep refrain,

Motorbikes and barking dogs
Are driving me to drink
With the endless din of traffic

And then I’ll close the window

WAR ZONE
Sound of gunfire boomed all around
Amid the ruins of dilapidated buildings 
Men in combat uniforms lurked in anticipation
Resembled zombies, which gave eerie feelings

Two snipers in ghillie suits 
Face smeared in camouflage paints
Lay on their...

Leave a man to him and his words
and telescopic terrains will open,
as splendid as the midwinter constellations
sprayed in a barbarous sublimity across the sky,

Alert! Alert! Listen and beware!
We’re being spied on with human hardware –
sophisticated telescopic eyes
in the vicinity of our open skies –
to detect if life like theirs exists
on our planet. But don’t be fooled, it’s

It stretches mind to understand
How telescopes are time machines,
Have God-like powers quite profound,
To plumb sky depths like submarines.

To go where no man’s gone before,
To see a past that’s clearly been,
Discover facts before man’s birth,
