in the minds of the angry,
as the hunger of the children and elderly
are wound tight around their stomachs,
and a homeless, fatigued family anxiously
waits for a room, shelter,
as the...

There's always something going down.
So many different places, Religions, and races,

The VisitThe Visit
Sitting in the small office
I wear a dark ring of eternal morning.
There is soft noise from the kitchen.
A blue-grey bird pecks at ice
In the back yard.
There is soft noise again
So, I open the door
While...

lonely sparrows hunt for food.
i’m lost in thought – the light of mind
is cold and planetary.
overcast days move like silent trees.
two men swoop by arguing politics –
their mouths heating with steaming debate.

Bedeviling the vernal places;

Under wrinks in mansworld's faces;

some are into voodoo

of a scarred homeless man
and notice the musical staves
of lonely telephone lines.
stumbling over
roots and shadows.
