AC
A hot summer day
Inside a steel mill
Cutting glowing red
Billets of iron
With a huge
Acetylene torch
I thought I was
About to die
When suddenly
I passed out
I awoke in a small
Cinder block building
Cooled by a squeaky
Amana AC unit
Where God's cool breath
Was blowing across
My pale face
At that moment
I experienced
The realization
That without
The Lord's salvation
I will be condemned
To a similar place
That never ever
Is air...

When Silence Speaks
Silence speaks volumes
With words unheard
Silence begets silence
For all becomes hushed
As every ear strains to hear
Silence's every word

Alien Angels
At first we thought them beautiful angels. We had no idea our celestial visitors were demons with dark evil souls, till it was too late.

PSITHURISM
(Inspired by my memories as a boy exploring the Boundary Waters of the Superior National Forest.)
Little man
Curious child
Don’t leave yet
Stay awhile
Listen to the pines
Murmuring in the zephyr
“Please don’t leave”
“Stay little brother”
Even the whitetail’s
Bones of long ago
Begs you to stay
“Please don’t go”
Beneath the stones
Wait the beetle bugs
In the decaying loam
Hide wiggly grubs
“Come find us”
They deplore
There is so much more
For you to explore
Don’t...

Kaleidoscope Kingdom
Wondering through the wilderness
I paused to take a rest
Laying my head upon
My knit knapsack
I fell asleep and dreamt
A celebration of my death
Kindred friends were crying
To the rhythm of Kyrie chanting
Till the bell’s somber knell
Called them from the chapel
Then my ghostly surreal vision
Turned upwards towards the heavens
Through the keyhole of the golden gates
I saw what after death awaits
A kaleidoscope kingdom
Beautiful beyond reason
When suddenly I was awaken
And any...

EVICTION IS MY PREDICTION
Mother Nature can be a vengeful bitch
She'll destroy us
Long before we can destroy her
Sooner or later
She'll tire of our harassment
And in a diatribe she'll smite us from this planet
The end of humanity does not mean the end of the world
Seems the earth is still doing fine
Since the Neanderthal demise
Don't think for a minute that you can hide behind God
For if not God's mistress
Mother Earth is the Goddess
The next great war will not be man against man
But man against nature
Want to...
She'll destroy us

And in a diatribe she'll smite us from this planet
The end of humanity does not mean the end of the world

Since the Neanderthal demise
Don't think for a minute that you can hide behind God
For if not God's mistress
Mother Earth is the Goddess
The next great war will not be man against man
But man against nature
Want to...

A House of Black & Blue
On every block
In every town
Is one house known
For being black & blue
It’s a haunted home
Where many a night
A drunken monster
Bellows in rage
Fueled by liquor
He’s the Devil uncaged
A box of screams
A dwelling of pain
A hut of wailing
Muffled thuds
Little ones crying
In the morning
The children emerge
They look so scared
With shell shocked eyes
They speak no words
Sometimes a woman
From inside that place
Timid she quietly leaves
With scarf covered...
