a dusty porch a rickety chair
the fabric of your dusky face creased

frozen, motionless, immobilized,
my eyes straining to see into the black void
looking for any sign of my keepers,

A malt for company, awaiting a magical cue,

Growing out from next to the house,
From the corner where...

Timeless PursuitsIn my imagination,
My vision encapsulates
Dusk’s parting darkness,
and silver clouds appearing between,
dull twinkling stars.

Hymn: With God ImmersedOur God who lives, flows in waters,
drifts in clouds and glows in snow,
flashes silver fish in shallows,
darts in darkness round the rocks,

It pounds my nape,
It flames my mind
With sights and fates

What void, what valley:

How Sweet the Bloom of LoveEnchanted was I with a cloying scent...
whiffs of wild magnolia
mingled with the woodsy tang
of her lemon verbena perfuming the air
Like Samson's strength, the sun's threads of gold
were clipped by silver shears
of an ascending pearlescent...
