Nursery
In the labyrinth small birds floating
That attend my deepest niches
They will not wish you to see them
As they spit up prey unswallowed
Do not break in on my darkness
As I preen while evening settles
On my cache of fallen feathers
And the downy nest of hatchlings
Comes the time of hour's feasting
Starling hosts surround me nearer
I'm assured they come to feed me
As they sacrifice their brothers

A Perfect Gentleman
It wasn't anything I thought would be
The first time that we met
When Spring caressed the blooms & budding tree,
When I felt so alive, and yet
The way it was as he came down the street,
I held my beating breath,
The jacaranda petals 'neath my feet
Foretold a distant time, of death.
'Twas when he stepped before me, it was plain.
He took me by surprise,
But not just with a waist coat, gloves & cane;
Was that a smile behind those eyes?
A subtle manner equal to its bliss
That took my hand in...

Here
In earshot people speak like I'm not here.
I scan the room there's blood flowing like tears
From every guest that mills and mumbles low,
But do they care, or don't they even know?
I tool around this unfamiliar place.
Where have the players gone without a trace,
While eerie music drones on the wrong speed;
It's then I know I've done a horrid deed.
It's gotten very quiet I confess
By any other standard more or less.
I know what is and need to make it clear,
The only sane one uninvited here.
I tip & toe and slide...

Conflagration
CYCLE II: FIRE
With single spark did all things born become,
Explode with force and fury, none in all.
A silent space birthed, energy its sum.
In matter slowed was Time’s begin recalled.
Through eons’ pass, from ice to water’s gas,
And rain through oceans fill in fire and air,
The creature forms, from land and oceans pass,
Until Erectus brings the gods aware.
In fear and adoration, they were made:
The Sun, they praised for what it gave and took.
And Animals, for lives they took, they prayed.
And Fire, in lightning...

Sweet Tea
When lonesome home I have a cup of tea,
A gentle steaming cup to put me right.
I hear the mantle ticking of the clock
And watch Venetian sunrise' morning light.
The crack of day is empty in my hands
While warmth of vessel cradles tenderly.
I think of nothing in these vacant notes,
And then I see him peeking in on me.
I know he's far away at work in thought;
Perhaps still tending his own cup of sweet,
Or pouring tanic acid from an urn
And touches lips to rim to think of me.
I live these times for when we...

Apple Honey
Today, though I didn't expect,
He gave me a photo he took
Of a bee in a blossoming tree
Among white spring blooms everywhere.
And said to me so gallantly
He'd bring apple honey one day.
And so in my mind came alive
When I used to turn countrified.
It instantly had me think of
When I'd drive to Charlie Brown Farms
On Pearblossom Highway afar
In Little Rock, Antelope Valle.
Where this time of year in the...

Celeste
The clouds flow brazen with the wind of sighs
To constant seek the one who calls for them
By names that last beyond their perishing
And leaves their seasons scented with the earth
While far below the life of air-bound song
I stand before the dawn with covered eyes
To open mouth to imitate her creed
In hopes the goddess of the morning rise
Will cast upon, assuage this subject, bowed
And give me peace that she will soon return.

Playthings
It doesn't matter what the hell I think,
To touch you while I'm breathing down your neck.
It doesn't matter if you want to strut,
You know you love it and I don't forget.
Approaching you is walking razor's edge,
The times we don't connect are pretty rare.
'Cause taking you at once is on my mind,
And when you sulk I'm Johnny on the spot.
I know when you think I'm not watching you,
The way you stroke your mane before the mirror.
I pull out all my toys that buzz & twitch
And come up from behind to show you...

The Eloquence of Rage
The eloquence of rage can take a life
While never setting out to actu'lly,
A build-up of emotion sets the kind,
Let jilted love be warned before too late.
Intentional comes later as a rule
When seeking out revenge is but a thought.
A follow-up for method is a must,
And weapon's choice is next on list of plans.
There's poison sweet in food, liqueur, cold bisque,
Or sharpened blade of rapier unsheathed.
There's also jimmied car breaks with less risk,
Or hired gun, the undercover kind.
But when your actions stem from...

Revival
Dear Brothers & Sisters, please hear me.
I know in this world of today
Confusion abounds in one's journey;
There's no peace of mind anyway.
So tell me, please, my fellow sinners
As I stand here before you right now
On top of my '58 Chevy,
Is there anything better I vow?
Hell no! I mean, friends, look no further.
The future of faith is upon us
To take you to your destination,
And it's made in the U.S. of A.!

A Night of Lists
A tattered boa 'round a prostitute,
A record broken at a carousel.
The evening falls the way he has for her,
Has he a hope or half a chance I sing.
Modigliani hangs upon the walls,
For premier exhibition V.I.P.'s
While sipping champagne viewing gallery,
And nibbling bits of pâté on a stick.
Collecting all the drinks they left behind,
I watch a waiter pour them in a bowl,
To add sangria, ice and grenadine
And serve in Dixie Cups to us who wait.
I pass on mixing as I brows hors d'oeuvre
I pick up each to slowly...

Bedazzle
Twas when he saw her flutter by
A shadow fresh from her cocoon
The spiral speak of butterfly
A flashing psychedelic swoon
And soon she would bedazzle him
By whisper'd soft her wing'ed love
Her silver trails in garden dim
'Neath canopy of limbs above
A-quake, a-quivered Romeo
To stalk his Monarch Juliet
Viceroy, Skipper, Crescentspot
Nor Marblewing to hold her yet
The common Nymph he calls her not
This Painted Lady, Chalk Hill Blue
