a baby bootie
ecstatically clings to her
clear garrison cap —
the navy does not issue
children in sailor’s seabag

No 5

Shrieks of seagulls die on the breeze;
Childhood ebbs away on sunlit seas.

Garrison Mentality
Is my soul housed
in walls of flesh, 
and my flesh, prisoner
of nature?

Where is the garrison?

I, myself am prison,
not of walls, 
but words;
to speak,
to ration,
to segregate,
is division, 
choking unity
from man,
the beast.

Alone in the New-World....

Prophet Harold
Hills weeping

Streets and sex litter 

With echoes of anxieties

As pattering feet taking solace 

In their shrines

The second coming...

Oceans of nightmares garrison my iris,

Waiting for his coming, 

With a bottle of hallucination,

I saw his coming...

My name is Prophet Harold...

1 Shade of Grey
Was arguing with myself 
whether grey begins where black and white meet
or in the blend just beyond
When sunlight caught my sight
tricking itself onto metal
A garrison of splintered sub nuclear fractals
causing diamond headaches
in my minds eye
But if the colours 
never met
would the grey just fade to grey...
