The coma of night When the city twinkles And all are sleeping, I walk the streets in silence. There is a rare sound Of tires on macadam and then It is gone. Only street cleaners, 7/11 clerks and nurses And others like me, Only they whisp

I feel the Earth Is the violin. The sea is the bow. With the pulling of the Waves is the pulling of The bow. One last pull Of my waves like my Life before the strings Break and the wood Of the violin is burned To ashes.

The Bending of A Stone

The Bending of A Stone

The Stone. It is not the stone that breaks down But myself…and my mind…that wraps…around…the stone. My perceptions of the real. And the unreal. Dorothy dances on the ceiling, And my mind is numb. My mind. A rock? Mayhaps. A Mishap It sits to

Hessian Peel

Will their children cry, when their mother dies. And in the autumn of their lives, will they feel the same? "I see you my sweet Satan. Come back tonight, out of the courtyard." Her longing for me, coming down like hail. Why did you leave me? Come her

The mist is sleeping on the water. And winter is hiding in my heart. Thorns in my eyes are slowing me down. I can't pass through to the other side. She knows I'm the one who sought her. But when we fall, we'll fall so hard. She holds a secret and won

Cusp Of Eternity

Cusp Of Eternity

A child of autumn was born into a world of deceit and death and a land of ice. A break of bonds would take her away and install a sense of loss and eternal sorrow. She walks across the country, she holds her head up high in the rain. A mother is scre

The Night And The Silent Water

The Night And The Silent Water

And so you left us. Jaded and gaunt, some September. Wilted with the seasons. But hidden inside the delusion I saw you eyes, somewhere. Devoid of death. The aura poises amidst (the storm). In solid tears I linger, a parlor glade, moonlit sorrow. Lon

ANESTHESIA

Since I wrote this so many years ago, these brave young men have received a pardon and a memorial erected in their name.
