flitting hither and yon, to and fro

whereby irrefutable proof prevails

Smuggler's Boat
Migrants on the move from violence
their only possession
breath-space on a smuggler’s boat
secured with back-bent harvests
in pretzel-bent systems
weight of crates of strawberries
hoisted on hell-bent backs
just trying to reach Spanish-shores’-east
from Moroccan beach with a...

Conquered, Part VII

and her eyes went quite wide with shock when the thing was unrolled,

The Future Has No Eyelids
The future won’t arrive with trumpets—
no brass echo to herald salvation,
no golden scroll unrolled beneath a bleeding sun.
It will leak,
like soft radiation through the seams of our sleep,
like forgotten news,
scrolling endlessly
on a screen no one...

Requerimiento
(The Spanish conquerors of the
Americas read out their legal
document, the "Requerimiento",
to the Indians. Failure to comply
meant the Spanish were free to
do what they wanted.)
Conquistadors in Vera Cruz
found themselves a radical ruse.

Tom's Trashy Tid-Bits
Yes, folks, it's happened again; the trash compactor backed up and spewed out
all the following nonsense;

Destiny Dies But Once
The wise say: live in now’s benign presence,
In time to come nor in one duly dead,
Buried in graves past stays so ever hence,
And dreams dreamt seldom change from grey to red.

Groundhog Day 2022 Or Forty Two Days Since 2021 Winter Solstice Part Two
February second - requires one

turnips tickling the nose nostrils
delicate hairs (instagram ideal outlook) subtly,

Whisperings To the Midnight Sky
I sat by a moonlit window last night
As sleep did not come- elusive as the Dugong-
My eyes but portal gazing wide into a deep vast sea.
The songbirds were hushed except for the nightjars and owls.

dad you unrolled the hose in the late afternoon
when venus slips by the moon,
fresh water for cemetery cypress,
green monster in the middle of the yard,

Along the Narrow Way
Curious cobblestones captured
By the painters languid brush.
Crisp and clean and clearly caught
With lines that frame the images
Of what we wish to see.

Making your mind Up

A hush fell over the expectant crowd that night.

When the Soul Holds a Brush
I once saw a soul hold a brush—
when my eyes first fell in love
with the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

took me through space and time,
into a cathedral of bliss
painted upon the...

Did All the World See the Brightest Star

Only a handful knew they could follow it.
The Shepherds leaned in, hearkened to angels.
The wise men seeking, followed the leading.
They had to humble themselves to an infant
