Menagerie

they condemn old oaks in sections and let them fall.

the asphalt snake spews its venom on the winding trail.

the lake glimmers yellow diamonds and fawns the sun

critters conspire stay aloof from them inflict their fear

the clowns on wheels their soft back turtle heads

plugged ears and asses tightly stitched won’t find their seats.

Genesis

blackness tumbles o’er horizon’s edge
fertile there where dawn lays low
breeze whispers spark her embers
blooms afire when stars retire

Words

would I have said them yesteryear

as my mind inclined me tell

for fair heart struck me then

but then a starlit child at this

let fear’s rush stay me

from the who I think I Am

Opus

Enveloped

slithers by Indigo moon

wrenching, afflicts

ravages deaf silence

busts the rivets of my abyss,

explodes my desperate peace.
