A Poem of RuthThe tears well up, and scarce could she not moan

of midway love and peace intent,
avoiding anger-fear monoculturally competitive
dominant-power relationships,
and struggles against others,
against...

muck;
The well heeled

For all dreams, and all theories prove finiteness

Time In FlightTime in Flight!
Older people all tell us time's faster, it seems,
When they think back to much younger days.
Is it true, something real, or just fanciful flight?

Fright night echoes sounds clink tapped chalices,
Amidst caused bruised concoctions aplenty,

Fair distance yonder gates of said palaces.

Host chambered snores all else unpleasantries,
Wenches clear tables its swill and varies,

The VagabondThe deep delved path winds in the wood,
chasing with ghost-breaths and leafy hoods,
arbor-brawn the winnowed path crooks along;
whispering with what future song?
To ill desire and inches from hope,
plodding the cool of Earth alone?

bright light warm absorbing flows
of water's baptismal...
