"All the Dark Stallions"



Calliope burns 
ecstatic bright star
fire brands, all her marks

both hands 
holding the ropes
firmly fast today 

slow burn 
tomorrow
warm whispers 

gently towards
the unlit shadows
love wanting always stays

driving all 
the dark stallions
towards heaven

where the...

The family suspects foul play, the police, they do...

That means I’m in search of hallowed grounds.
That means I was lost but now am found,
And know the meaning of Heaven bound.

While outside it may be raining,
Inside new priest is entertaining;
To us occurred,
Heard God's word;
Hope forever he will be remaining.

Sandy is it over?
We don't get the news here in the woods
No cable in the caves to where we all ran away
When we heard what you'd planed to do

Has the cold harsh wind subsided
Can we...

Driving along
What's that I smell
The daily delight
Of the latest roadkill

From raccoons to possums
In this flattened cuisine
As vultures take lunches 
On this finest of dining

Call us the critter getters 
Crossing over our paths
Taking them out
As they...

Beats are like that, 
you know….
they can jazz the soul,
bump the heart, and get
one’s feet ceremoniously 
tapping—fingers snapping:
for sure, I am a Thumper,
Banger—Slammer, first
on skins, and now
plastic, but none-the-less
fantastic—tunefully elastic!
With my old Sizzlers good
as ever,...

Tracks in the snow,
 the pristine landscape cold and white
 chilled and frosted by winter's bite.
Wind in the trees
 blowing back and forth
 from the highlands in the north.
Driftings piled high
 of snow upon the...
