Steampunk

...In the copper-clad cradle of time
where gears whir fugues to forgotten dreams.....
the fog—a somnolent specter—drifts.....
veiling the calculus of progress
a manuscript etched by steam and soot.

Tipping a Falcon's Wing

...A hazy crimson light races a soaring falcon
as swallows spiral all about the rainbow sky,
Above the Jersey Shore where zeppelins rose 
as far as a teary eye can see, within eternity.

As I slowl...

Finding Calm

...Get leads, chains, hats, flip-flops and sunnies.
Get poo-bags and lots and lots of training-treats.

Arms Race

...Arms, legs,
fists, feet,
beating chests;
teeth meet.

Stones, bones,
sharp-honed tusks,
poisoned darts;
obsidian clubs.

Slings, arrows,
outrageous bows,
black-edged flints;
sharp-pointe...

Not into quail eggs but doesn't mind eating crow.
Does her own thing and is not one bit clingy.
A little bit tart but never saccharine sweet.

How Precious Life Is

...How precious life is…

When the old rocker rocks in his wheelchair…

          ACDC heavy precious metal ‘like a wheel spinning’

...I'm heading home -  I have a date    
Chills play my spine - I pass my gate

The Journey

...It slams
And impacted instantly
Hoarded like gold
The rib to my side
Aching in its stirrups like Adam
Swallowing hard and dispersing
A fickle attempt to blend into the walls
And edge a conques...
