Who Put Luebella Down the Wych Elm
"Who Put Luebella down the Wych Elm?"
There are rumours
about me, some
come seeking me
with their geiger counters
and ouji boards
with their heart
shaped planchettes
unanswered questions
in the woods, crackling
within the sounds of leaves
invisible dead things speaking
underfoot...

Open Oceans
"Open Oceans"
Kneeling on pearls
wisdom preys
praying
preying
hungry hearts
count the days
wasting away
in all that preying
for prayers
to be answered
children become
strangers
reading
strange words
finding
themselves puzzled
genuflecting to a deity
they do not know, nor wish to
fumbling
mouths closed,
swallowed hole
in the...

Frequency
“Frequency”
we are separated
from the others
by a thin membrane
electromagnetic
we are receptors
unignited ununited
only tuned into our own
frequency
existing to be lit
the fuses touching
reaching delicately
that which we do
and do not see,
believe
answers embedded
in tablets read...

Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
And sadly...i start to drive.

Who I Am
by Spencer Dillenbeck, at age 19:
A chunk of clay settling into its mold
A painting yet to dry
A matching hand I cannot hold
A block of cheese before its mold
But even I do not know why

Political Verse
Maybe It Was Eleanor
Ever wonder where big ideas come from?
Memories of FDR
from newsreel clips -
a lion-headed striking man
with rakish grin,
jaw jutting proudly,
signature cigarette holder
clenched in his teeth
tilted ever upward...
soaring to the heavens
as he cruises by
waving to admirers

This the Devil Will See

To my Father above, but maybe someday

Twelve Minutes Ago
I nestle a tab under my tongue
At just twenty eight, I’m still quite young
Before too long
