The Precipice
"The Precipice"
In the Autumn
she wore a wedding veil
A cold winter would lift it
Kiss her lips passionately to
speak words of
LOVE
on a
late roll call
“Well, that’s insanity for you”
some snakes would hiss
others rapture-faced

The God Complex
“The God Complex”
His face imprinted
hidden under layers of ink
he whispers his words
like a haunting breeze
dust blown off the pages
towards the back of their minds
once-in-a-while
reminding them of stories
they are eventually, all souls
book-marked

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 33 -Part 1-
My dreams were of the dire Queen
I had allowed her reign over me, callousing my heart,
She was inside me, laughing
Having crawled in
My walls closing, as she filled my soul
We were one, yes for a time,...

The Whirled In Between
"The Whirled In Between"
What dreams
in the time of
not thinking
we spent aeons
in conversations
with the unbelieved
deliberating
choices towards
our liberation
traversed
contracts written
by the unseen
such wordy
reams offered, the
scrolling walls speaking
wailing towards

Writing Healthy Copy
My longer life
reads like a ransacked,
formerly almost democratic constitution,
Whether well read in organic silence
or not so screaming fascist tumored
rumor bad-humored

Some days present easy milestone messages
to choose light-flowing life

The Bookcase
A room without a view, unkempt for many a long year
Dusty aging book slanting within a bookcase
Closet doors creaked, the wide boarded floors moaned as I walk
Adjacent to the bookcase is a stone fire place...

The Green Armchair
I was a pleasant, conscientious librarian, whose world consisted of books,
As a world of fragrant beauty, can be found in the glossy, honeyed nooks.
Although it was pleasant work and appealing, I was not so very...

Poets Declare Life's Fragility
"How fragile is life in nature's forceful wind..."

and their harsh, buffeting fingers.
He called them an "autumnal spell."
Autumn...the season when leaves hang trembling.

True, true, my hands are soft– not overworked,
nor lined by heavy labor-- nor calloused
-- the soft hands of a gentleman, perhaps!
But my manners are rough and countryfied,
my speech slow and southern–...

The Future Child, Part Ii
...Janelle Hayes was president in those days,
second woman to lead the fifty states,
a career-driven woman, quite well read,
she listened to Chris, all the words he said.

Here’s what I’m thinking now

There are no atheists in foxholes—
no theists in politics.
If knowledge is power,

My Confession and the Mouse That Roared
It was just a typical ordinary night
I was all tucked up in bed
Radio on reading a book
By lamp light.
When suddenly
I saw a flash in the corner of my eye
Boy I was so scared
I nearly wet...

your feathered quill draped in ink
Scratch away at the parchment you
are scribing your every...
