A lone cricket sobs
as his peers play loud music:
His cripple wings…mute....

the wind may cripple

unfit for purpose

a walk in another's shoes-

a cripple for life

gentle air passes
caressing my forlorn face
with magic fingers
my cripple hope gets a boost
the wind whispers peace to me...

If I could tell you about
The soul whispers which gather between us,
All that of life would cripple -
Watchful of the graceful god that births....

I Was Wounded
In this Dark
This arrow
Through this heart
Cripple on this march
That leads us
Down this road
Faith guides thee
To this pot of gold...

You complain because  of racism
There are people born blind
There are people born deaf
There are people born a cripple
And you complain because of racism...

My state of mind,

is not so simple,
It can be very kind,
or it can cripple,

It comes and goes,

and helps or hurts,
either friend or foe,
it comes in spurts....

The homily

At the church entrance
Beggars line up when the sermon is over
The parishioners in the warm feeling of faith
Give beggars coins.
God’s work be done. 
The cripple gets up and leave...

what have you
that we may see

show us times end
cripple the you in me
fan breezes into flaming winds
burning the means that never end
freedom from self with out our sin
this life flame we are sinking again

Hard to fight this tide,
With all the time I have to bide,
Maybe life has taken me for a ride,
Where am I to confide?

I wish life could be more simple,
Get away from this place,
To no longer play the part of cripple,
New home; new face....

an hour falls back
energy body does lack
ate one more big mac

so old in stature
hope will last another year
put out to pasture

ran down from the peak
a wide creek water would seek
hear sounds it did speak

Creek From Pike's Peak to Cripple Creek...

Listen to poem:

A mute voice challenge not, less confusion,

Blind perceive their course for their path is set,

A cripple waywardness is known to them,

The amputee, depth is stored in their breadth,

Frame trait, sex gland, gender--human, not threat.

Fog's tennacles wrap around the porch
Coating with damp the vision
Oak tree's buds laden with moisture
Will explode with precision 

Soon oak will release a pollen
load, fill the air with gold
Cripple so many folks who were
Strong, brave and very bold 

unfinished.....

No sick man waits for the sun
No cripple waits for to run
Neither the devil, for doomsday to begun
As much as I waited for you

I am not waiting for you to return anymore
I found you after you gone from that door
While my heartbeat fastens every dawn
Don't come back and tore me apart no more...

If the dream dies,
            life is a horse
            cripple who no longer
            will run anymore ...

             if the dreams are gone,
             life will be a river
             dry and ephemeral
             without solution ever ...!

Past the white horse
the high Road to take
Horse traders strapping 
and preening for the day
A harem to conquer
ITs Babylon also bored
Cinderella for the day
shes a Queen in white lance
Impasses sealed in Gold
They cripple a course
Internal Mixtures
The Posh acylates
languish for the day

So I visited the Holocaust museum and then wrote this poem about it....



As I stepped through the door,
Tears filled my eyes.
Looking at the horror.
Seeing Hitler's lies.
He convinced so many people,
that this genocide was right.
He even killed the cripple.
So they'd go down without a fight....

lost faces
lose your own
show me face
show me nothing
at
all
cripple ing me
two much more
moreover than under
whoms director of whom
this madness has no doubt
circles in confusion grow square
fences built by teardrops swallows
learn'ed to follow
hollowing aces
bury ing
lost
faces

When Ma got her social security check

    To the Cripple Creek casinos she'd trek

         Coins passed through her greedy paws

             To feed the slots' gaping maws

                  Leaving Pa peeved wanting to wring her neck

I did not write for many years;
Nay! I ne'er penned a verse!
I was too consumed by fears:
The kind that cripple first...
Ev'ry thought was coarse- was terse!
A concrete Heart about to burst!-
Devoured by Dragons when I fell off the wagon-
Please, stop reading, and call me a hearse!
