Spiritual Tenancy

Leasing eternity…
 sorrowful joy
Rent paid in moments
death’s choirboy
Light deeded tenure
sight to regain
Conceptual escrow
—vision’s domain

Muted and Alone

In the poverty of sound
hides a final goodbye
Mortgaging the silence
with debt to decry

A tenancy of sorrow
with melody banned
An orchestra homeless
—foreclosure at hand

Beyond

In a horizon of miles
And miles
as a mingle
of mist in mist
In a doom square
Silence
in crowd
Emptiness
in full cup
But may you glow
some times in darkest
of alleys
In sails of doubt
beyond the smiles
of gloom
gleams out of dims
In clouds tenancy
In glance I avail
But the glory
Of heaven
in a night

Life's Tenancy

Was that dollar Sunday morning
  a twenty Saturday night

Is that empty bottle you can barely see
  the excuse that started the fight

Is that torn and tattered jacket
  what was once your Sunday best

Is your life worth more than nineteen dollars
   eyes blackened—never to rest

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)

BrEaCh Of ThE pEaCe


Again sudden movement
My thoughts they now cease
That feeling of unsetalment
Oh how l long for a release

As their is no real improvment
Should l or not call the police
I am never one for an argument
But tensions starting to increase

 What is their tenancy agreement
I am hpoing it is shorthold lease
How anyone can be so ignorant
Is thier not a thing called breach
Of the peace

Spark the flame, burning I am energy fire
From heaven lightening down brightly soul shining

 Deliverers spark contained karaoke voice desire
 Thunders blues blazes sound I am resonated winds

reverberate blast I am flame energy voice
 thunder blast heaven birth born light might energy

I am choice energy fire reverberate I am light
how I testify centrally heavens tenancy

-debt Service-

I’m running out of money,
but I’ve still got some time
and only just one question
…can you lend me a dime

My dollars spent on something
that quarters can’t divide
my nickels for what’s come and gone
…can you lend me a dime

Tomorrow comes as landlord,
whose lease you can’t cosign
my place reserved but not in ink
…can you lend me a dime

My tenancy is in arrears,
foreclosing on my mind
last chance to stay evictions sway
…can you lend me a dime
