it’s incremental welding
...sparks of silver stress

    Eventide, the sun sinks low
      at the seashore, waters flow

    Pre-dawn morning, streaks of magenta
      heaven’s canvas fills, incremental

one
slowly
adds, hard fought
with persistence
until much

naught

Wisdom 
picks on the dementia. 
I lash out in drunken rage.

The water world,
I stand on an island 
in incremental rain-

of denials. Time was 
floating on the shells. 
Sea was in sullen mood.

Sunless sky wants 
to start a ceremony of 
clouds and tears.

How far you will 
walk with a gypsy ?
I have started the journey for invisible.

Listen to poem:

Incremental layers, experience, pile up
Like quilts upon a bed in cold winters;
They weigh upon me. I occupy
Myself inspecting, describing them --
Like a child does squares of patchwork.
These multilayered patterns amuse:
I imbue them with richness, with depth,
Depending on my mood, my whimsey --
While their reality no more resembles
My perceptions than printed scraps
Of fabric are like fields
full of fantastic figures....

Let's hear it for incremental Christians,
And ascetic vegetarians,
Hail the queen of heavens,
Blessings for us, a holy girl,
Roman around the world!
Well, she was born in the Roman world,
A good Jewish maid, it did transpire,
A faith healer in this very day,
No holy dilemmas for her today, 
Let's pray for lady luck, shines on us all,
Let's hope Armageddon does stall, 
One for ascetic vegetarians,
And for incremental Christians!...
