Brains and Guts: The Write, Right, Rite of Revolution
Brains and guts orbit the soul—
that polar star searing in the marrow of being.

Ginsburg beat poetry, the birth of rock and roll, revolution marches,
and the calloused hands of a...

The Deceased Politician
Cold death it is, descending from the sky,
That like a shroud, across the land doth lie.
And why need death be cold?
Let we this tale unfold.
Dire death is no distraction for the best!
They gather wind, where...

Coming Courageously Home
I'm returning home
from a bag it yourself grocery,
and listening to an African-American novelist
respond to questions,
actual open-ended real NPR questions,
like old school inquisitive journalists once asked
before the polarizing days and nights
of fake right/wrong answer questions
and their...

Political Verse
In the heart of the country, a veil of mystery and melancholy floats
In the heart of the country, a veil of mystery and melancholy floats,
And threading along the leaf of life, these methods seem a sinister symphony.
Open borders, and immigration comes like an underground current,
On the paths...

Seven Seas Voyage Continues
With every gust of wind, secret taboo,
secreting a web a cocooned prison
of liquid knowing, flowing,
emulsifying impossibly old and new.
In the beyond of the known, stair-stepped,
desert bone flashed into
your consciousness a confident cajoling.

The 6th Remembrance - In Memory of Me
Remember me well ....and remember my God.
The stay of my soul was the strength of His Word.
The Heathen, the Godless keep shouting 'Good God!! '
That's not blaspheming; that's praising the Lord.
How often I've heard them...

After the Storm, Columbus Day, 1962
After the storm, my brother
(all gangly knees and elbows)
bore the brunt of its ferocious aftermath.
Every day after school
I watched his wiry biceps bulge a little
as his handsaw scritched against the tree
which had fallen diagonally across...

The last thing I am is brave
In the dark, I'm everything I want to be
In the light, I'm who they want me to be.
It's hard

My Biggest Regret
He was only a sheepdog
But his death has bitten
Into my soul ever since.
As a pup we brought
Him from his home
In Ireland
Where supernumeraries
Are drowned
No small farm needing
More than one mutt.

When I looked around and there were nobody

Trojan Horse
TROJAN HORSE
A decade long battle left them exhausted,
Squeezing mettle, dusky vigour fading,
Tired warriors, planning failing,
Dejected lay the war songs ashore!
Wisest of the mighty Greeks,
Amidst the crisis, Odysseus smiled,
The perplexed troops his voice then heard,
‘Retreat shall...

Along Dry Path
Am I fitful,
fluctuating, fluid?
thin compass waver
as I jubilantly weave
lilac tree vignettes
that weep or chortle,
rainbow figment curtain
rashly wished upon
in grain smudge zephyr
garnet sand raw vehicle
garden common opal
transit sidestep
to a multiverse

About how high they set the bar,
For those who find them bazaar,
While driving their car.
