Leavened

putting my bread
stick in your oven

but it is as it is
once even

unleavened
but that's

another thing
all together

a perpetual
longing...yearning..
a boundless 
               appetite
lingers
unfolds..
leavened
by imagination...
a troubled
torment
seeking
       ...an answer

Battle Royale

Take me
to Hell
Take me
to Heaven
Bless me
with kindness
Curse me
 as leavened 

Angel within
me
Devil
in waiting
Salvation
unseeded
Damnation
— equating

Leavened Redemption

Lost in a ditch
on the highway
of life

A change
came upon him
from darkness to light

That dead end
Apostle
arose and broke free

Remanding
his spirit
— at last unto Thee

Growing Old

Winter lays heavy upon their hearts
Memories faded friends past old
A seasoned wind untwines their souls
To their leavened faith test continue to unfold
The depth of the family roots are now exposed 
As winter prepares for its final repose

Neither Presumption Nor Despair

We can’t make
all the bad things
 good
Just knowing
all that didn’t 
should

We can’t wish
what stays real
away
Or lie
to keep the truth
at bay

Yesterday
today
tomorrow yield
The leavened
‘Word’
forever sealed

Ad infinitum
minus
one
Salvation’s 
path
— is zero sum

Hello And Goodbye

Leavened unleavened
risen and stayed
Lost when recovered
joyful dismay

Intrinsic extrinsic
the whole without parts
Tomorrow this moment
stopping to start

Benign and bedeviled
revealed yet unseen
A valid deception
blessed but obscene

The past and the future
hello and goodbye
Affirming rejection
— all truth to belie

Overpowered by the vicissitudes of life, The soul can be broken down and beaten Like a sheaf of wheat at the threshing, Where the chaff is tossed to the winds. The good salvaged like grains of wheat, Leavened and turned into sustenance, Feeds a temporal home for a whole being Who wanders through the fallow fields, After the harvest and longs for eternity.

The Devil's Throne

Peasant bread to feed the masses,
  millers stone between the classes

Grovel here and grovel there,
  crumbs for beggars—no meat to share

Caught inside the rising dough,
  leavened voices cry out low

Baking deep within the flames,
  bribes that lie—and Lords to blame

With each slice cut, Hell calls a name,
  its coals to brand, ignoble fame

Bread for the masses, meat off the bone,
  revenge on fire—the Devil’s throne
