Alone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 14

He waited for me in my rest,
Lying upon the ground, I awoke in prayer,

Sometimes: a Random Poem, Part Ii
Sometimes I wonder what is the point
To life, the universe and everything?
Then I remember that the venture is joint
With extraterrestrial beings

MEMORIES OF WAR
MEMORIES OF WAR
In prison we turmoiled
packed up cards to fall
whilst they sucked

Bio
These Are My Words Of Death
I never could live without leaving something behind—
a trail of words, a bottle of bourbon,

Echoes of a Silent Night: The Christmas Miracle of 1914
In a hellish nightmare pit, soldiers stand...
Along the Western Front's cruel, jagged land,
Where blood and tears paint the earth's sad lore,
