Future Ghosts
Future Ghosts ~~~~~ Are we all searching for ghosts Of us, in this life or another, A different incarnation, time line or some parallel universe?

Silently Across the Night
Silently Across the Night ~~~~~ Moving silently across the night-dark earth, Fires burn ever, Fluttering banners, gold and red, to mark the dead, Ever brighter, Projected onto shifting smoke, Ever hotter. An ever-changing, tattered screen, white, gray, black, Consuming all. No animal, no insect, no blade of grass remains For eyes to see. Glimpses through […]
Cherish Hope
Cherish Hope ~~~~~ I challenge you to cherish hope for a day. Reject all violence, everywhere, find a way. No press, socially reported evil worldwide, Here or abroad, in the city or countryside. Refuse to fear bullies, choose not to fight. Gruesome deeds lose power without sight. I urge you to step away from politics, […]
Many Lovely Things
Many Lovely Things ~~~~~ Coming to terms with the world at small. Do you think that means anything at all? Time: construct for cosmic construction. Pimple on God’s face: a pustule eruction. We say, hey Mom, hey Mom, look at this. We’re hushed, pushed away, just ignored. How can anyone simply ignore our bliss? Till […]
What Would You Do?
What Would You Do? ~~~~~ When my father told me, late in life, His regret he’d never gone to Spain. Might as well have said, play the fife. I wish I’d have asked him to explain. I think it had to do with the romance, an odd allure of the revolution there. Told as if […]
What Shall I?
What Shall I? ~~~~~ When I have fallen to the blows Lie in the gutter; no one knows, Struggle to stand up on my own, Refuse to take help from anyone. What shall I do then? Since none live without sin. If I shall be forgotten by kith and kin, And lie awake with nowhere […]
A Bit
A Bit ~~~~~ The strange and strained current year is finally, at-last, coming to a close. Strange and strained to me; I suppose, There must be other people who fear That we have gone completely insane. Could we be better, tomorrow dawn? Or are we better dancing on the lawn? We must do our best […]
It Won’t Matter
We’re walking on the Mobius strip of time, Thinking we know where it begins or ends. Those on the other side are equally sublime, Busy making enemies and courting friends. Pretending there’s something more to being, We move along to the next part of our path. Not quite understanding what we’re seeing. It won’t matter […]
The Lamentations of Phileas the Lesser
The Lamentations of Phileas the Lesser ~~~~~ I lay awake in the dead of night. She came and took me by the hand, Raised me up to a wondrous sight, the beauteous dread out upon desert sand. The Milky Way’s starry glory overhead; I wished she’d left me alone, awake abed. I told her this […]
Whip’s Crack
Whip’s Crack ~~~~~ I wonder what lies yonder, It looks so very far away. As I draw near, I ponder. Will it always look this way? What if I turned my back? Or it turned its back on me? Turning fast as whip’s crack, Will it look the same or be? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, […]
