Impatient dawn.
Lampposts froze through the pergola of winter.
Limp from exposure to unprintable tales of orgies,
And their lights, hidden...

Trail of tears for wandering vagabonds,
Seek yourself from this time forth betwixt sunrise and senility,
For the tides of the seasons grow weary with long-suffering,
To the hopes thou clingeth unto,...

How do you classify it?
Historical fiction has made some inroads
To this chimera crossroads
But science fiction

I’ve kept writing vigils like Virgil.
I muse ‘neath the...

Ode' To Janelle's Piano

her good piano ~ church now closed,

Kanya Kumari.
Strips of pale silken scarf
On the soft crimson light
Spreading from land to sea
After the blackness of night
Amid sighing moonstone of seeded saturn
A crow is crowing to break up the pattern.

Missing You
I’m impetuous,

We can't really be through,
For I’m still missing you.
A sly glance...
