Spectators At a Fire

what is there about a fire-
like a summons calling hither
draws us ever onward-
in a lather or a dither?

what can it be-
that leads us forthright
such as millers to a porchlight?

tell me what it is-
that tantalizes,mesmerizes

what's so cool about a fire?

The Miller's Stone

Forty years of bad road,
a path of broken glass

Potholed memories line my thoughts,
devil waiting fast

Daring me… 

“Retrace your steps,
your quickest way back home

“Forty years of shattered dreams
—ahead the millers stone”

Miller Far Thriller and Cellar

That's the trouble with her Miller:
Lots of fancy for fine killer,
Yeah not Real Life - The safe thriller
But it's no Decent Time filler,
Millers remembrance of thriller
The time wise neighbour turns tiller
And one they 've got in James Bila,
In the past fond of Godzilla,
Now in their church a strong pillar...

"Oh! Why had I accepted Miller
For thriller and wine from cellar?"
Anna had forgotten his villa
Marrying an owner a Willer.

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
