Waste land of sticks and shapes
Lucayan people buried in caves
Hiding from explorers
Trying to enslave

The DesertsThe deserts brown, the deserts bare,
at first it seems there’s nothing there;
the deserts hard, the deserts stone,
a rare few make this place their home;
the deserts vast, the deserts bleached,
coyotes roam far for their feasts;
the deserts...

The CanyonsThe canyons dim, the canyons dark,
fast river churning at its heart;
the canyons sheer, the canyons steep,
trees cling to walls, ready to leap;
the canyons tall, the canyons wife,
voice echoes on the other side;
the canyons long, the...

Highway SignsThe big green ones are everywhere,
next exit in half-a-mile,
they seem almost reassuring,
all done up in the same style.
Then smaller ones bordered in blue,
with promises of food to eat,
the big chains and local diners,
places to stop...

In My Closed SpaceIn my closed space
I am free to shrug off that which I wear
To hide my true self;
A being which does not belong to this earth
But which seeks to find the anchorage
Of there where I come...

The ForestsThe forests deep, the forests dark,
with mysteries that stir the heart;
the forests tall, the forests proud,
with birds that chirp and twitter loud;
the forests leaves, the forests lush,
small chipmunks scurry in the brush;
the forests far, the...

Range DayBerms rise high to the left and right,
they’ve created a wide gully,
another berm squares off the back,
so no stray rounds ever get free.
There’s a metal spinner back there,
sits just short of two hundred yards,

Staring Out My Cabin WindowI am sitting in this cabin,
’twas built so long ago
up here in the wild mountains,
has a big bay window,
a vast and sprawling forestscape
greets my wandering eyes,
then comes that familiar urge
to get up, go outside.
Go traipse...

Oil On PaperOil on paper, skies are grey
It’s a windy autumn day
I see linens on the line
Bedsheet swings behind the vine
There's your shirt of navy blue
And my sweater of green hue
And it was so long ago
Where now...

Be Kind, RewindThe corner video store
With the neon lights,
Was the place to be
On Friday nights ...
Only black VHS tapes
In clear, plastic cases,
Lined the 'HORROR' sections
Of my favorite places
From left to right ...
Up and down the walls,
There...

The Island Without GreensThe island is rich
In natural coal minerals
A company begun mining it
People come in to force labor
For national copper
They mined the sea under it
The island turn to a fortress wall
To house the industry and the...

Of insects, flowers, birds and tortoises which became
