Fragments 10
FRAGMENTS 10
As if each verse makes good sense
This tacit bluff and sly masquerade
Embalms even lifeless still life
Beyond canvas or poignant picture
As a living mantra chant echoes
Or else implodes in eternity
Beyond the shifting echoes
That rise and fall and rise again
In these enchanted sand dunes

The Photograph
I don’t recognize myself;
this is not uncommon,
but he seems to me like a pale root
dragged-up to be exposed to sooty clouds;
one raw and unearthed by quarrying shadows.
A grainy tinge shades vacant eyes.
In the distance, tenement towers -
grey tusks in a monochrome sky.
A callus of light embalms a sallow horizon,
revealing just enough of the child
to spook the dead....

Ode To My Little Boy
From his voice springs the tenderest sound of lute
There is not a moment
mute
In the company of my little cherubim
Oh how I love him, how I love him!
Dissonance played in my core.
Before his birth
My first born.
Our pride and Joy.
The cold of winter is all but gone, gone, gone!
Even your sulkiness embalms my soul.
You and your sister bring the most
Joy joy joy!
To our household.
* to my little boy...

Election Debate
Two suits with familiar faces, the faces that we focus our battles.
These masters of the future, in your name they act, but you claim no blame.
So when a war is fought or the smog embalms us, will you still shout with tears that democracy lost out?
So the comedy continues, your part once more in audience.
And when our continued blinkered, forced ignorance prevails.
Will your sons and daughters blame the system, the money, or the Blairs?...

A New Day
Caustic words
Wounded is her core
Then twilight happens:
Diaphanous
The next day:
A lavender mist encapsulates atmosphere
Oh the sea is so serene.
Like a minty aroma
Embalms her soul
Acrid memories fade.
No longer is he a cynosure
But a shadowy tale.
She stops cursing
her ill-fate and fills her lungs
with vapor of the new day.
Afterall lost love is transient.
New days are long lasting they happen
day after day....
