Truth To Thaw
A hunter of the frozen past…
I stalk all glaciered time
To kill the demon inside the ice,
with eyes that burn—its truth to thaw

Only What Is
You can’t alter reality
with an opinion
You can’t alter reality
with a drug
To alter reality,
you must force away time
Defining the indefinable
—leaving only what is

You can’t alter reality

You can’t alter reality

To alter reality, you must force
time upon itself
Defining the indefinable,

The Leaves Turn
Growing simpler with
each passing year
The leaves turn
and my mind releases
Freeing what it’s taken
a lifetime to acquire
Freeing what only this moment
can understand

The Moment Sustained
Each verbal success
leads to higher new ground
Where the words beck and call
with a heavenly sound
The trail to my future
fades into my past
As the gift they inspire
—my present to last

Still To Run
Your page now short on substance,
yet colorful the rhyme
The words used in abundance,
where lesser might define
Intention slave to beauty,
all meaning zero sum
Pageantry lost in the wind
—your blood left still to run
(Grantham New Hampshire: February, 2017)...

Contraband
Do you play inside the Corn Flakes,
or are corn stalks more you game
Is that Hersey Bar the answer,
or the cocoa or cocaine
Do you clerk for someone’s feelings,
inspiration to be damned
Your legacy an afterthought
—another’s contraband

The Moon Bows
The aging artist has a trait,
those short on sight can’t bear
All normal signs of waning,
a crown now his to wear
Wrinkles and sparse graying hair,
still negative to some
But when they light upon a Sage,
—the moon bows to the sun

Another's Contraband
Do you play inside the Corn Flakes,
or are corn stalks more you game
Is that Hersey Bar the answer,
or the cocoa or cocaine
Do you clerk for someone’s feelings,
inspiration all be damned,
Your legacy an afterthought,
—of another’s contraband

Forgotten Lord
Deep into the night of the harrowing dawn,
old voices went astray
And fast on the morning of no return,
final judgment came to stay
Crashing like a wave was the prophet’s voice,
this time not to be ignored
Washing away all excuse and false remorse
with damnation—forgotten Lord

Morgan Freeman Got It Right
There is no…

Italian American history,
German American history,
Chinese American history,
Hispanic American history,
or White American history
There is only American History
—and Morgan Freeman got it right!
