Blaze
...I had the nicest rooster,
An Orpington named Blaze.
He was around for several years
Until a fox ended his days.

A handsome shade of buff.
A pair of deadly spu...

A Feeling of Fear

The air is dry, and each breath is a struggle.

who conjured with swipes and spells from his draft.

Two Drunkards

They sat holding bottles
In their hands
And armpits
Pouring mouthful
Of liquor to fill
Their hollow stomachs.

And spoke a lot of
Inglish with...

In the Cradle
...Forged in the cradle of crumbling stone,
The river murmured like an elder's song,
A silver thread through earth’s old bones,
Unraveling what never should belong.

The Dog

the dog outrides the flock,
warning away the terrors of night.
He sees
the cheery glow of the shepherds’ fire,
murmured talk and quiet laughter
float past him softly
on the chill autumn...

There bloomed Nefarys, veiled from mortal eyes
Here, blossoms rose from memory’s breath,
Unbound by season, untouched by death.

Fade
...Fade into the void,
pale and unseen,
a whisper of silence,
dim murmured echo.
Unheard and unremarked,
an absent fragment,
of drifting haze,
that lingers unseen.
Fragile, easily shattered,...
