Long Waxes Poems

Alone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills

So, Mother, where do you get all your creative ideas?

Outside, of course.
I'm not known as MotherNature for nothing
after all Earth's regeneration

HARMONY 69
The night of twelfth December `69  
knotted together an icy storm wind 
that whipped False bay`s waves

on a dark, rough...

A steel sky, wan and dull, littered
	With ragged clouds and
		bitter dregs of a world girding for
	Sleep
		But no rest
by day, draws a frame over grim roofs and vapid doorways.
Indolent breezes rustle debris past shuffling feet of
	Staggering...

Kenny is suddenly,
 Luminously, animated;
with a grin that could crack a safe!
He whistles to get your attention,
then beckons you over
to the parted curtains.

He has something 
to share with you.
This is not the usual,
insular, 
self-absorbed Kenny.

To pass judgement on me.

What use is a secret if it’s existence is unknown?

Why struggle to keep it if none strives to see it told?
