Poet Introduction
Let me take you down the rabbit hole...
The Garden
I try to find a path
Through the overgrowing trees
That will take me to a place
Where I can find some peace
Yet I find no comfort
When I make this journey
Like some distant memory
Which cannot be revived
For the past
Cannot bring back the dead
So I am truly alone
As I walk
Through a garden of pain.
Through the overgrowing trees
That will take me to a place
Where I can find some peace
Yet I find no comfort
When I make this journey
Like some distant memory
Which cannot be revived
For the past
Cannot bring back the dead
So I am truly alone
As I walk
Through a garden of pain.

Madeira
Garden isle of the vast ocean shimmering.
She swims naked in celestial turquoise waves,
The stout ink of twilight effervescent in spring,
Wild in transient waters, deep volcanic caves.
From sugary white mountain tops, so high,
To lush emerald cloud forests in the vale,
Sweet malmsey wine permeates the sapphire sky,
As fishing vessels from Funchal set sail.
She swims naked in celestial turquoise waves,
The stout ink of twilight effervescent in spring,
Wild in transient waters, deep volcanic caves.
From sugary white mountain tops, so high,
To lush emerald cloud forests in the vale,
Sweet malmsey wine permeates the sapphire sky,
As fishing vessels from Funchal set sail.

H-bomb
A flash of white heat chars the steel city streets,
And melts the eyes like blue glass in fire rain.
The dust of death falls like grey satin sheets;
Kills the lifeless sun under human remains.
And melts the eyes like blue glass in fire rain.
The dust of death falls like grey satin sheets;
Kills the lifeless sun under human remains.

Coffee Shop
Thick knob of English butter melting on a hot toasted teacake,
Petite young waitress bent over the counter,
Her playful smile so teasing;
Fizzing with radiance;
Like a lamb in spring.
I could smell her innocence.
Something about those cute cotton ankle socks;
The way she flicked her long black hair;
The way her derriere looked so appetizing,
As I slurped my frothy cappuccino.
She must have been half my age...

Something in the air
Something in the air
The news cycle of violence
Populist leaders gaining ground
Divisive forces at work
Turning one against the other
Censorship increasing
Police militarization
Tear gas
Feeling of insecurity
On the periphery of society
Job cuts
Wage reduction
political rhetoric intoxicating.
