once a pilot from london

always carried an onion

but when he would speak

his flight crews would freak

so now he brings a bourbon.

The Lost Dutchman Mine
Hidden in the Superstition Mountains, veins over flowing with gold
       Rattle snakes, cactus and the Thunder God stand guard, trespassers beware
                     Now is the old Dutchman"s tomb, location is still not known...

Its Treasure Calls
Nostrils fill with wood smoke,
   a mountain spewing lies

Fifty miles up the trail,
  its legend waves goodbye

Lost Dutchman in my memory,
  the map no longer clear
 
While buried deep inside the truth
  —its treasure calling dear
 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2014)...

Abel Tasman - Diary 1642
ABEL  TASMAN    -  DIARY  1642


Long since we left the quay,  
My glass has scanned  the astral dome.
Bright though these stars may be, 
They are not the stars of home.

The Flying Dutchman
The Flying Dutchman
Looms out of the misty night,
Mast and sails glowing, 
Surreal,  such an eerie sight,  
She clearly crosses our bows.

And then the ship disappears.
The look out who first saw her
Falls from the crow’s nest and dies;
And we are all doomed.

Jack Horne for Russell’s Mesh of Forms contest

Spaced Dutchman
Vacuum of space surrounds his hold
as he leaves the fair Cappellan
Darkness without and bitter cold
he seeks the far Magellan
How far he travels in search of gold
wrinkles line his star tanned face
Shouting I AM the adventurer bold
no echos resound in space
Silence answers he is  alone
darkness whispers its tragedy
the tanned faced turns to bone
an endless voyage on an endless sea....
