Vox Sforzando
I murmur like a rivulet through the
hitch of your hands, where the canyons
carve their parched longing into your fingers—
where silences sublimate like cera,
pooling beneath your glissando touch.
Your tremolo breath convulses rough and low
like sibilant submersion in water—
spilling, sinking, staining everything it meets.
I watch the estuary of your gaze split my horizon—
watch you hush

Voices Voix Vox
Voices that are so
smooth, drag
crowds
to the precipice...
so whispering
induce spirits
to delirium...
voluptuous
carry bodies
to Nirvana...
Which are so fake, that
stab the life
by back...
peaceful voices,
restore actions
from other voices.
Divine voices, in the
rid of all evil...
Voices, voices, voices...
not all must
be heard...!
in this life...!,

Vox a voice
Prize fond choice
Vet sure poise
Still the noise
Feel prompt flow
Come to know
Glimpse due show
Watch light glow
Laugh and sing
Watch life fling
Catch thought string
Joy blooms bring
Wear a face
Full of grace
Look to space
Run your race

Vox
Listen and heed
The voice of need
Let true love seed
In that faint hum
Heed heart that sums
A song that comes
In silence still
A hum now fills
To spark a thrill
In subtle ease
Still vox of peace
In fond increase
In wordless word
Ease can be heard
In dance of dirt
In the clear glow
Word hurls the show
Of all we know
Listen and dwell
Glow in fine tell
Where

Vox Populi Vox Dei
[It is the spontaneous utterance of the universal conscience.
- Elihu Burritt, “The Empire of Public Opinion”]
Remember that day, Elihu,
when you stood at your forge as the earth
shook underfoot. A steam-locomotive,
come to change the world.
Foot-traveler by choice, you walked out
to see what was left after the passing
of the Iron Dragon, and found a printing
