Don't get it twistedHow grandiose
to even consider
she's in jaundiced bitterness
alleviated from a straight jacket
of pretty idioms to get inside my mind
feed your delusions
to make yourself feel better
how petty of you
to use mythology
and ruin history's beauty
I'm finally...

The Platypus
The creek was the color
of weak tea, a bronze brew
that filtered light to bathe
the bottom in the soft glow
of an autumn morning.
Even after a long summer,

Praise for the Unknowable
Yet in the middle of the mess,
frightful loss:
wonder of wonders (!):
quality of mercy

Collosus of DionysisCollosus of Dionysis
No tickets need be purchased to adore you
slumbering under the sultry sun,
your unfinished body of Naxian marble
dormant,
in an ancient quarry.
It is a quiet hike to worship you
Long lines of grey, green and amber...

Caught In The Dutch BowlShe believed in Astrology
he believed in her
Their White House chart in symbols strange
whose doctrine ebbed and flowed

While strolling in the woods one hot day, she
felt tired, but then she saw a willow tree.
She lay down underneath it in its shade
while listening to whispers its leaves made.
She dozed off dreaming that the...
