Long Whither Poems

The tears well up, and scarce could she not moan
When father, brother, husband, all have died.
She now has no possessions, neither home,
But travels to a distant, unknown land:
Once so secure, yet now compelled to roam;
Once...

In sandy Egypt lived three men
In ancient days when pharaohs reigned
The kingdom of the pyramids,
Osiris and that Isis’ den,

Or at least doing so they feigned,
And those gods too blessed them and...

"Ground Level Entry"

“She fits the bill”,
they say it 
insouciantly

visions of being 
carried in the beak 
of a bilious pelican

no stones, yet,
from irreverence
thrown at it

no higher...

Disrupts the thread of tales,
Entangled in unconscious mind

Hourglass

Sand falls
Through the glass
Love falls
Within the past
Memories dance

Piano Keys

Playing me
Rhythms dancing free
Clouds in air
Notes tossed in...

From out the cloud
From out the living dream
An enchanted...

Not the fluid, arterial,
But the beings, among them,
Usurped the toy in your cereal,
Their daily appearance,
At the start...
