his sickness grew worse,
and his intestines flared with melena....

left behind
The great are often

Remembered only in

Imprisoned within the brilliance

deep down where it’s warm
At nighttime they visit
in moments of peace
Defining my feelings

Where voices lie weary
and valleys grow deep
The truth runs distant

The Jewel Thief From Nevada
A jewel thief named Jimmy from Nevada
Stole rings from mobster Pablo's old grandma
Jimmy thought he'd better run
Pablo caught him and had fun
Now Jimmy has all his meals through a straw.

From Heaven Bought
A prisoner of devotion,
a Saint indentured pure
The light now holds him captive,
on knees bent to the floor
His silence for a jailer,
his sentence now unlocked
With handcuffs loose and falling
—their key from heaven bought
(Las Vegas Nevada: January, 2017)...
