the providence sends
wake up calls for the sleeping
to be vigilant

They Speak of Peace
caldrons of black bats
temple bells seem peal death knells
pigeons fly away

Poems Related To War - War Devils Breath
Never can you imagine how terribly bad
a handful of War Devils’ breath smells,
During the war,
they appear shamelessly
when they hear their dead SUNS’ knells...

Mission San Francisco De Solano
Russians supplied mission old bells.
High in tower chime their slow knells.
Listen, great their single tone swells.
Honor those dead.
Time to mourn alarum note tells.
Missal lines read....

Bell Inform
Bell
rings, chimes
hours, announces
weddings, war ends, death knells.
Bell shape hollow, inverted cup
resonates, polls, rings, dings, dongs, pongs and pings
to bring order to day's events.
Bells rung,
done

Too Many Death Knells
time for midnight bells
close this year of covid hell
just then silence fell
ringers don’t show feel unwell
not sick ~ rope burns ~ hands have swelled

Apologies for the ambivalence
But I do hope you all stay well...

Mourning Celebrations
mourning celebrations:
Easter without hunts
or relative sounds,
anniversary knells,
birthday sans icing —
tears well.
you wipe them off the screen,
clean as you go,
wash hypochondriac hands.
green sleeves
on the old oak awakes,
surely timed by mistake —
no one to dance underneath.
Autumnal leaves
ought to be
trickling down Ichabod’s arms
decomposing.

Nostalgia
Sorcerer wearies of casting
Spells that nobody can feel,
Ghouls are impatient with fasting,
Death-knells no longer will peal.
Churchyard is grown up with wild weeds,
Marble tombs settle and crack,
Will-o-wisp dies in the marsh reeds,
Leprechauns never come back.
Vampires without an oasis,
Banshees with nothing to moan,
Ghosts who can’t find where their place is,
Skeletons, grave-less, alone....

Rain Day
Steady and constant
the rain fell
a streaming curtain clear then opaque wells.
On the rooftop
the pitter patter spell
a monumental flood of rain drops dwell.
Cool and wet
drippings with a history to tell
where each came and flowed to earthen knells.
Unseen sun gilded
in grays and white clouded gels
where neither sky nor tree is clearly quelled.
Sit inside safe
protected from the storming cells
and a rain day is released upon the human shell....

Christmas Wishes
Christmas wishes, mine, I’ll tell:
To gain nor lose anything else.
What others bring wrapped in bows,
Are only trinkets, I should know.
Instead souls, the fill the shelves.
Who asks for gems, whistles and bells,
Never felt the pang of death knells,
Nor heard the quiet when they go,
Christmas wishes.
Once a rosy-cheeked little elf,
Love lies cold in a narrow cell.
Hear the voices in the winds that blow,
From wither they have left to go.
To gain nor give, I ask myself,
Christmas wishes....
