Egg Song

Matilda the peregrine Chanticleer
                                 Has taken up residence
                                 Along the 18th Fairway
                                 Chicken-walking  pizzicato- pecking
                                  Rearranging the leaf pile
                                  Clawing with sharpened talons
                                   Making herself at home
                                   Laying her eggs randomly 
                                   Amongst golfers’ errant balls
                                  Indistinguishable  from a distance
                                   Her plaintive egg song
                                   Like the golfers’ call
                                   Lost in the Wind

Reef

The moon, 
Just past full,
Calls down to the coral.
   Lunar  ballad pierces
Sea’s briny top soil.
Amorous chords
Penetrate past clown fish
Past pygmy sea-horses
Past the  anemone’s crown of thorns
Into the stony castle’s womb
Igniting a blizzard torrent of gametes,
 Kaleidoscopic confetti
Hurtles toward the surface
Reaching.  touching,  meeting
Achieving  consummation
 In the undulating reflection of
The moon.

Self Destruction

Nature abhors a vacuum,
Loathes right angles,
 But reveres the Corona.
For Nature so loved the corona
It  dirked  the  form 
Atop the penile shaft
Rendering the shape
Like a helmeted soldier
Leading the charge.
Nature bequeathed the Corona
Unto our only unbegotten sun
Whirling its solar winds,
Morphing the heavens into
 A frenzied hell.
Nature then knitted corona’s strands
Into tightly wound unseen spheres
Spiked with crimson daggers
Unleashing the globed petard
Of our mutual demise.
