One who has done no harm?

So held on and swung from his tie.
But the blooming tie ripped,

Paws out a fish skeleton
Looks at the hollow eyes
Meows twice and
Walks away waving its tail

Courage worn in tattered skin
ashes to ashes as all begin

(3 Senryu verses)

The morning sun dawns
electric white on another 
day of lost promise.

The invitation
received, jump up! Respond like 
a paid performer.

The crisp, sharp shadows
hide a murderous magic 
called loneliness....

Enter kingdom of God as a child
Through grace and favor
Wisdom and the wise receives grace
Get rid of pride and lies and murderous thoughts

Fall at the seams
You’re my winsome, wondrous wife 
Of my dreams of peace and strife...
