A Train Rolled By
A train came rolling by,
dropping off people and cargo.
It's time to watch it go.
It's time to say goodbye.

May, the stone be rolled away
The sting of death that awaiteth thee,
That, chisel out the stone of the tablet,
Given unto Moses by God to let it be known
This was just an introduction that yee
Might understand the evil that lurks.
Woe, unto yee that pick up the pieces,
Chiseled, to stone the prophets God sent.
Woe, unto yee that pollute the Living well,
That, yee

No matter Tuesday, November 5, 2024
still one hundred and eight days away,
(thank you Julian Date Calendar -
FOR LEAP YEARS ONLY),
I believe a foregone conclusion
that Donald Trump will win
based on the pathetic debate performance
between Joseph Robinette Biden Junior,
and Donald John Trump
in tandem with the stellar performance
of the latter at the Republican National Convention,
which

The Angel Rolled The Stone Away
Scripture references
Matthew 27:62-28: 15
John 20: 7-9
Why did the angel roll the stone away?
Not so Jesus could get out.
He had already gone from man's tomb.

Rolled Oats
"Rolled Oats"
Age shall not weary
trolls counting strange fruit
golden apples rolled
Lord Laden put to sleep
on an alter Hippomenes
there Atalanta lights a candle
underneath the dry rot
Ovid’s oracle prophecy not far wrong
3 golden apples racing along
Hippomenes
strange addiction was outshone
the race never to be won
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

The Conversations Are Rolled Into the Corners
the conversations are rolled into the corners
stretching into a fifth dimension
perpendicular to all points
this is where i love you
curled back upon itself
unavailable to the eye
the physicist’s graven image
produced at energy levels
no longer on demand
counterfeited
lying useless on the floor
moments escaping
till you do
back into the visible spectrum
where the colored quarks
come to rest upon
a mask i have come

As I Rolled By
As I rolled by...
Today,
on my way,
from here to there.
I saw a man,
dead.
He was laying,
on the ground,
his cheek upon
the pavement.
His body prone
and yet partly...
twisted.
He lay still.
No one touched him.
No-one turned him.
The ground...
burned his flesh.
The smell...
awful.
The police came.
They were not in

Happened before the roads were plowed
My eyeballs were
Covered in fur
From our pet Golden who is quite a grouch

The Day the Tiger's Rolled Into Town
Like a wild fire the orange consumed the crimson;
Rolling over it like a spring tide with a mission;
The orange blazed in parking lots and in stands;
Adornment of the happiest fans in the land;
Backed by a powerful purple wave;
To the onslaught the elephant would eventually cave;
Then the orange flashed up and down the field;
And the crimson

After the Credits Rolled
Three years deep into freedom
And yet perhaps as tied down now as I was then
Scars are scars because they do not vanish
Fade as they might, that skin is numb forever
As a being made of scar tissue
My arm and back are dulled to this new world
Perhaps my brain and heart as well
As cortisol is as potent

God, Rolled Back the Curtains of Hell
God,
Rolled Back The Curtains
of Hell
By: Tom Wright
8/21/00
In Hell,
were just voices with no faces attached,
and faces having detached vocal chords.
Spirits, that had retained their senses.
That Saw the darkness of hell,
while conjuring the aura of Heaven.
Feeling tormented flames,
and hearing screams, each exclusive,
while being bedeviled by the jocularity of a deceiver.
Touching a transparent atmosphere,
being encircled by

The Wave Rolled In
The wave rolled in on a gentle wind
A promise born, soon to begin
The plea of love across your face
My heart's tide did surely grace
Cresting now, this fulsome wave
With deepest eyes of blue engraved
Breaking softly on the shore
Of love eternal, evermore
