the Jolly Roger
atop the mainsail
we're heading
for Bermuda
with the wind
on our tail....

The heart asks questions
That the head wants answers for
And
This tyrannical heart
Speaks

What Canons of Love
Red tulips
Growing tall
On stiff
Green stems
Bending towards this sacred light
Oh, what biblical canons of love...

The Canons of Love
Love
Be thy
Foster child of
This pain
Love
Be thy
Cannon shot
Heard around
This world
Love
Be thy
Flower dancing
In this sweet
Blue rain
These are
The canons of love...

Blessing's For Sale
Church always sides
with canons and might,
preaching of dawn
while blessing the night
Holiness shines
among diamonds and gold,
the battle unwon
—till redemption is sold

Unexpected
Tear-gas gunned.
Water-canons-shot;
Beaten...
Thrashed...
I, the unemployed
Stood before that police
One among them
Who had not got the payment himself
At least for a year
Just like me
Happened to lift his police-pole
To hit me
And when he found him facing
His own unpaid brother
Only tears could well up
In both

A Warrior's Chant
Wrapping letters around
the conflict
A war played out
with words
The fury of shouted
diction
Slaying enemies still
unheard
Shooting vision
into the onslaught
Attacking silence
as legion’s advance
Loading insight into
the canons
Killing emptiness
—with a warrior’s chant
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)...

Jester In Transit
Bending a breaking point
rupturing time
Eons of history
skirting the line
Paradox native
our true D.N.A.
Truth as a concept
forever in play
Yessing and noing
transfixed in between
The jester in transit
all canons demeaned
Freeing the moment
the first wedded last
a twist to the turning
—where memory contrasts
(Septa R5 To 30th Street: August, 2023)...

To C West
Standing redundant
in an echoing wind,
renewing your vanity
with deference to all
At home on the fringes
where truth is an orphan,
you line up your enemies
canons shot at the wall
A general of
a malingering army,
whose entitled thinkers
lay truth in the grave
The devil is calling
his pulpit awaits you,
the olive branch hollow
—your memory enslaved
(Saint David’s Pennsylvania: November, 2020)...

Humpty Dumpty - The Sequel
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
The little girl sat on the chair.
The little girl said a prayer.
All the church canons made no difference
To the predicament she was now in.
The bell hung by its strong cannon.
The bell knelled for lost key tenon.
All the righteous and all the judges’ men
Witnessed her tumble down the steep court stairs.
