Grey clouds Snow encampment Frosty clearing A white cast everywhere All trees covered in sugar Silver trails

Custer's Omen

Wolverine shadows
 in the Michigan mist
Blood trail encampment
 on yesterday’s tryst

Teeth at the ready
 fortune can’t hide
Death for a tribute
— when vengeance abides

Imagine There No Heaven

Thsi world is an encampment on a thousand valleys ,
Each leading to God's great mansion,
He is evil,
A miser and insane,
He rules his entire creation with a sick sense of homour,
During the sixties someone set up this world as an hope against him,
The overlord,
That's why they call this world imagine there's no heaven,

I was bound by my bondage in my bondage I was bound; I have fallen I have fallen down to the ground now I'm crawling; Encapsulated inside the square I find myself around Creeping heaping installing encampment found so appalling What's that sound Relinquished now

Casualty of War

The stench of gasoline and gore
permeated the encampment.
I am a prisoner of war
And I’m held in a stinking tent
that I share with a gun toting
taliban soldier. His black eyes
staring intently and gloating
as though I were a trophy prize
whose head would soon hang on a stick
for all his turbaned insurgents
to pelt with stones and broken bricks.
I expect his malevolent
Nature to vent with certainty
which translates: it’s curtains for me!

COUPLET MATCHSTICKS - A CONVERSATION STARTER

The lyrics crescent of bravado
Toes of the ballerina apropos

The gymnast - a sculpture in motion
A wrestlers seamless grip

The poet’s morse code
Tears dripping from clothesline

Simmering heat from pavement
Snow white encampment

Cheap underwear
Kilmer’s trees

Serpentine legs, sharp Argentine tango
Carmen’s March of the Toreadors

Golden streets, pearls, living water
Plath’s Tulips
