On To Plan B
I'd travel the world
Trip the light fantastic
Spend quality time with my family
My schedule, so elastic
Brush up on my reading
Start a garden, plant seedlings
Exercise daily, religiously
Attend prayer services regularly
Well, retirement's come and I must say
Things haven't exactly broken my way
My body's rebelled, and I've had to scrap
~ Everything save my afternoon nap...

Affaire d'honneur
Is this music made of magic?
Or does it vent its violence
fired by fury, fuelled by force?
Does music trip Milton’s light fantastic
with nimble heartedness -
or fight with furore, feast on frenzy?
It can be a disease, fanatical,
as these hands, these fingers,
these tips, these nails
perform, carry out their execution.
I wonder with fixed eyes as I take that punch,
or deliver one in this duel we did not choose.

Quote the Raven
A hole that can’t be filled
an ocean that can’t be crossed
a phrase that can’t be spun
inhaling your exhaust
The measure off the scale
the truant thrice reclassed
the memory twice forgotten
the die that’s never cast
A spider web unwoven
a future distant past
a God beyond religion
a sail without its mast
“To Trip The Light Fantastic”
to burn the bridge uncrossed
to fasten moments end to end
—to find what time has lost
(The New Room: February, 2022)...
