Captured and Slain

Where have all the Poets gone,
  has time then captured and slain

Those heraldic writers of messaged truth
  —whose shields once bore their names

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)

On Bended Knee

Sword of  
the noble
With fury
unsheathed
Trumping
dishonor
And knaves
unreprieved   

Knighted in 
armor
Endowed
from on high
Legend
heraldic
 With duty
— reprised

(The New Room: September, 2024)

The Feast

Thoughts carried to term,
  new words to instill

A message is born,
  an infant of will

Its father coarse logic,
  its mother the wind

Together they coupled,
  a marriage within

Their family heraldic,
  with pedigree firm

As libraries tremble,
  and sages relearn

All time on the table,
  last lie from the beast

This moment a knife
  past—future the feast
