wrest full control...

3 black churches 
turned into smolder
a flint toothed ogre 
munches a wooden cross
in the shadows
of his black soot mind...

a creator of imagism no less
In 'Mirrors of Illusion' he did expound
his theory so valid was found...

Stick collecting,
fire building,
flint colliding,
sparks flying,
smoke growing,
fire dancing,
heat burning,
people gathering.

Stirring creatures from slumber
a soft glow of crimson red
casts long rays of golden flint
over face of earth

finds a piece of flint
sits chipping away at it 
such concentration
proudly holds his arrow head
dreams of being a hunter

A Grave Marked By Flint

We wonder if it was really meant,
To be on top of grave and a Flint,
We saw lark;
A grave mark,
Or what we may need is another hint.

Meeting.
Soaked souls in wine.
Dizzy, tingling hearts fall behind.
Our moment's trump all else; rebuilds lost time.
Ignite, our connection is flint.
We dance 'til dawn.

Stick collecting,

fire building,

flint colliding, 

sparks flying,

smoke growing,

fire dancing, 

meat piling, 

men feasting,

fire dying,

men sleeping.

People Unworthy

Are some people who are unworthy
And others who have been earthy
Concerned about the environment
Where the good Flint water went
What about Christie in New Jersey?

The Vagabond
By
Tom Wright

There was a traveler named Trent,
From a city in Michigan called Flint.
He traveled so much,
He was never in touch,
Seems each time he arrived he went.

Thru cracks in the clouds
    whitish sun glints
  No warmth issues forth
    barren rock without flint

  Clouds return ash-gray
    no matter I squint
  despondent sun keeps away
    done, today's stint...

Cry
Once
Then none
Flint River
Thrown from bridge two small
Babies sister brother drowned
Every time go by I hear the children cry call me
Mother experienced temporary insanity threw them from bridge to swift water...

You'll find her up a steep game trail
strewn with slippery stones
marbled with metal
lightning all around
yellow eyes off the brambles.

At the end-you'll find a mind of flint
and a heart that strikes the match.

I found fire 
in the house
without a spark.
A whisper
snapping through flint.

I found fire
in me.
I looked up
and the blue orange evening sky
was there, and so was everything.
And the silent movement 
of my face smiling
made me a flame...

Quatrain #68:
SOUL


Love comes to mint a certain poise,
Joy knows the tint in cheery voice;
Faith moves fine lint to shine fond dream,
Hope sparks the flint to fire fine choice.

We watch from afar. We wring our hands
seeing the treachery of our governments
who do nothing, as if it is 1941 again.

A forest under the surface
Reaches out to snag you as you pass
The shallows scrape and grab and hold
The sun beats down with little respite 
And yet the water is cool
The company is better
And time stands still for a few hours
As a river runs through our day...

Why Should We

Why should we want to be involved?
So what we eventually had resolved
Governor Flint water should be drinking
The have feeling that was deeply sinking
And soon his occupancy will be dissolved.

That is an interesting way of looking
at things.

torn from weeping
tears inside out
storms come creeping
fears denied doubt
lesson me to read
teach me lovely
chair me to sit
tongue me mental
march my brains
with lintel flint
sparkling its

koo koo
me too
boo
