Qinghai,Tibetan Plateau
Guliya Ice Cap, 12,979 BC
Foreward—Roof of the World
On margins of the plateau
repeated glaciations were abating;
a Pleistocene Epoch, surrendering
to the Holocene, sacrificed its own
venerable mass to swelling sea levels—
save bodies, containers
for microscopic parasites
dormant in permafrost soil
Homo sapien rule had evolved—
rooting all cornerstones of earth;
a near-extinct Denisovan hunting party
tracked yak across the mesa—
its high altitude buffeting lungs;
thoughts...

White flag
How long will it take --
there’s an ache
where my chest is
and tears smudging glasses
A friendship tank
that can’t be filled
by anything but presence
voice
eyes
meeting
unfettered by screens
*
withering
fading
empty
I am sliding into that pit
it took years to claw out of
simply cast me down
to drown
in the wine of my tears
blissful
If the plague were to come
just calmly succumb
all colour has drained
relinquish
*
Yet I...

Amazing Grace
(Marooned in Maroon)
This is for those who may have been lost
Tossed in the tempest of a raging sea
Castaway in the loneliest of places
When at times no one heard their plea
May you find your way back home
With resolve for solution and redemption
Destiny can be a little cruel sometimes
But it too gives us a better perception
May the winds of fate carry you to shores
Where you will find your personal salvation
Attain the dreams and goals you deserve
And to push you forward with inspiration
May the passage...

Applause From Prison
Through my window
The world screams
Hand claps ringing in ears m
Applause for lost freedom
Don’t they see how dictatorships start
Ignore at your peril
Civil liberties eroded
Minorities culled before eyes
Didn’t Jews go this way too
Smiling politicians still cause deaths
Chaos’s cold dagger
Stabs eternally deep
Piercing sorrowful innocence
Stealing days and night
New prisons called home
The world screams
Hand claps ringing in ears m
Applause for lost freedom
Don’t they see how dictatorships start
Ignore at your peril
Civil liberties eroded
Minorities culled before eyes
Didn’t Jews go this way too
Smiling politicians still cause deaths
Chaos’s cold dagger
Stabs eternally deep
Piercing sorrowful innocence
Stealing days and night
New prisons called home

Cosmic Culinary Chaos
in meteor field, adrift
inside, showing
no sign of elation,
a perturbed Sous-Chef,
job interview bound,
intended destination,
USS Ezra Pound.
He began to rant
the moment boarded
“What took you so long?”
Is my life not important?
I used to be Head Chef
at Crandooyars
on Bravo Bravo Alpha Seven
Where my Klingon cuisine
was awarded
four grunts and two stars.
Must I now cook
in the kitchen from hell
when I’ve just left heaven?”
All crew members,
with one voice could tell,
this is...
