A Jesus made of marble 
The priest shivers when alone 
Has God, forsaken him today?

Hopscotch

knobby-knee’d, toes that stop 
bend and pick up 
penny, marble, rock 
outside chalk 
on concrete, begging, for me to turn around 
for one more try

Trudge through visions of their blood brothers



Minds weary of war

First Love

We treat it like a marble 

in our pocket for a while 

we win it 

we lose it 

but no matter where it goes 

it always holds 

the warmth of our hands

Rodin was chipping away,
At a big lump of marble one day,
He was sculpting a bloke,
But with one dodgy stroke,
The wobbly bits all flew away!

  an eyebrow raised, a bare shoulder appraised

Mask passions profound 'neath waves of sound
  on alabaster marble hunting grounds
