Yesterday 10:32pm
stomach’s of sweet nothing
of cock; the pheasant and partridge rise
from coppice and hedgerow gapes
abandoned lest the shotgun escapes
seduced by the drakes and tweed’d capes
their
sunned-eastern curtain’d drapes
their faux-oleander bursts of colliander-stretch
of esteemed fox-bait in style we recommend
It is gone: he is gone.
His pat has gone.
from coppice and hedgerow gapes

Damn. Smells like a Pig-Sty in Here
The pigs are going on strike today.
"We aint dyin' any more for wages that
won't pave the way , wit
Big Bacon Robber Barons
bloating, gloating, burpi'n'fartin' all the
way to Hog Heaven's
Golden Age
(of stilted pigishness and pompous circum'standing)
Here, the pork barrel is arming itself for the shitstorm
tha's just'round the corner
with a scab'hog regiment well paid to enforce
the dominance of the ham-fisted Big Pig'
Nextime you...

Poome for the Mightiest of Man
Love comes into
question.
Love goes without an
answer. What is it?
how does it do
what it does?
Did your god pre-
fabricate Love
to His own advantage?

Curious
curious creature
lurking around
looking for something to get into
through and through an adventurer
everything's new
without a clue
it investigates instantly..

Visit Scotland
It is a huge expanse of blue sky
White cotton wool puffs, wispy
Slow dancing through this vista
Crisp winter air cracks audibly
A buzzard, majestic, soars high
The golden eagle with eagle eyes
Prays for prey, a hairy comestible
Hares comb the area for vegetation
Rabbits nervously copulate ever alert
For any large low flying shadow
The wise old tawny owl is not sure
His perching place sitting on the fence
The royal wild stag is going to a party
Roe deer row across the black Loch
Highly motivated, salmon leap up ...

Book Tour, pig story
From my book, Pig in a Web.
It's night in the barn and Willy is asleep. A red laser pointer scans him, eventually settling on his eyes. This finally wakes him. Willy blinks and rubs his eyes against his short front legs. “Huh? Who's shining that in my eyes?”
Midnight reassures him. “Just your favorite friend, Midnight! Scanning your tissues for edibility.
Willy, barely awake, without enough imagination to appreciate what was going on, begins to mutter. “What?”
Midnight wasn't interested in alarming her prey. “Nevermind....

Primal Instinct
In each of us lies a disposition,
A primal instinct,
A primitive element dating back thousands of years,
Like the call of the wild,
Untamed spirit raging to be free.
In this essence
There is a life force yearning for family,
Protective and caring,
Tended to from the womb on down through maturity.
These primordial impulses:
To hunt, feed, survive
Give chase to our quest without question,
It’s the natural drive pushing beyond boundaries,
Like the wolf in pursuit of its prey,
It is the inherent...

BROTHER OF THE HUNT
On the trail of a deer
I met another hunter
Someone whom I once called
My wild canine brother
Thousands of years ago
We set aside our fears
To hunt together the bison
And the fleet footed deer
He, with cunning and speed
I, with sharp flint and long wood
Together we conquered the prairie
And every forest that stood
Then when I no longer needed
My wild deer hunting friend
I slandered his good name
And his bloodline I condemned
Today, like him I am loathed
For being a deer hunter
So...

Together we conquered the prairie
And every forest that stood

Dreams. (part two with intro)
sun shines
but still my mind
is veiled in fog
the buzz a constant chorus in my ears
a band of pressure grips across my skull
book's left unread
strange day
torn dreams flap
anchored to my psyche:
Act II: black beauty—parallel universe
a pig with a limp
a spud-laden cart
i won't force it on
its black bristles shine
cobbled street slick with rain
an accident waiting to happen
dismount
unhitch
we'll walk back together
the pig and i
as the rain sluices mud ...

jungle ruins
leaf-eaters grace the temple
sun-warmed, gentle fingers
groom in quiet reverence
this open-aired honouring
on rounded, care-worn stones
dappled with lichen
cushioned with moss
where prayer has no words
but half-closed eyes and bowed heads
speak peace
sun-warmed, gentle fingers
groom in quiet reverence
this open-aired honouring
on rounded, care-worn stones
dappled with lichen
cushioned with moss
where prayer has no words
but half-closed eyes and bowed heads
speak peace
