In the JungleThere’s a forest bizarre neither nearby nor far,
full of sights somewhat scary to spook a soul wary.
The deep, darkened jungle, I think you’ll agree

Passchendale: 3rd Battle of Ypres, 1916Even the dead reject this blasted earth.

grimly ponder on parapet walls
on the grim reality of lost homes
and loved ones yet unborn -
their casual caws more muted
than the usual cacophony
of careless camaraderie.

Weeks Revealed As TroglodytesI woke up this morning
Tired as a wolf-hound
After the chase.
The day is as stark
As an unfinished concerto.
Mondays are like that,
They are the beginning--
An unwrapped gift.
The weekend is an abandoned beach
