I’ve lived up
till now
with my thumb
in life’s eye
In reckless
abandon
I shucked
and I jived
No virgin
was safe
no harlot
denied
The wages
of sin
my fortune

(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)
I win you over before you know what’s happened.
Swallowing crucifies,
No one has flown this high.
I’m borrowing your own happiness.
Joy is oxygen, really.
Crown yourself the Queen of Peace.
This world is an oyster to be shucked.
County country corn
Grown naturally from the farm
Picked and stock, shucked and plucked
Crop has been givin up
There’s a new plow spaced aged somehow
I’m sure hungry now farmers come git mi corn plowed

Idyll (Idyl)
Daffodils are here.
Lilacs are whispering.
The earthworms rule.
Tomatoes are green.
Tulips are having tea.
The earthworms rule.
The green peas need shucked.
The marigolds are splashing.
The earthworms rule.
Garden is alive.
There is buzzing of the bees
The earthworms rule.
Garden is greening
But Papa is going fishing.
Earthworms are now gruel.
As I diligently shucked life's oysters
Searching thoughts for a pearl in store.
Uncovering nothing significant in size
Being worthy of remembrance for.
Until one day my horizon was dark
Threating from my life a slice.
From this storm came God's divulgence
Of Jesus, the Pearl of great price.
Life is our Oyster
and we, its shucker's
How sad, so few discern the Pearl they seek.
Still a child at heart
tho' older are some other parts
and only for a lark
back to my childhood here I hark
I remember a rhyme
in the far reaches of my mind
hickory dickory dock
the mice ran up the clock
the clock struck one
the mouse fell down
luckily the plucky other ducked
shucked and jived
escaped survived
got out alive
and ran away
to live another day
with relief and laughter
happily ever after
hickory dickory dock
