My Unusual Name
My name is Pittinix and I’m proud of it.
I have the most unusual name.
The meaning of my name is unorthodox.
Pittinix is really not a popular name.
My name originated with me.
I’m not looking for recognition or fame.
Others may not accept the meaning of my name,
But it doesn’t matter what people say.
The important thing is what my name means to me.

Beloved (david)
Born
from lowly stock
tend ewe's and lambs.
To lead
forge ahead
a country formed
from living seeds.
Come Philistines
Hebrews all,
biblical, seal
scribed
on Sanskrit
scrolls.
Head the coin,
great statues
to admire,
the care to rule
before great Popes.
Raised a nations
hopes,
Cast the die to frame
David, trumpets herald
and proclaim,
Chosen line
the given name.
To shepherd
goodness,
gird up its loins
and stride forth.
Chance destiny
to form my ark.
Was I
just one
of a kind?
what etching
I will leave behind?
With fame to skirt.
A nomenclature
commoner than dirt.
leave death's shroud to reveal my work,
my worth,
from lowly stock
tend ewe's and lambs.

Keith of the Willows
The dreaming hand
that fate comes to shake
is the moment when Keith
should wake, but today
his name naps beneath
warm dappled sunlight,
softly his mind opens,
High above the trees,
birds circle in a figure of eight,
he feels the forest shifting
his weight, he watches as his
fingers start to grow into branches
reaching out to connect, to war
with the darkness of ancient woods,
he wants to scream
as his flesh crack open into bark.
Then a sudden calm;
Beneath the battlefield
he feels the sunlight
converting into food,
the rush of nutrients
from the forest floor
He stands tall, rising
high above the canopy
a new creature being born
and beyond compare,
breathing oxygen into the air,
at one with his true self.
"I am Keith" he bellows
to the listening sky
and the forest carries
him in every echo.
If you listen closely,
the leaves will still tell you
his name.
