The One Winged Butterfly
She'd been lucky once
As a caterpillar
dropped from the beak
Of a hungry Sparrow
This time though
As a full grown butterfly
She'd been breeze blown
Into a somewhat sticky, and dewy
Spiders web
And when she saw the spider
With it's seven legs
Moving across the web towards her
She knew that this was it
Just hoping it would be quick
And just as the spider
Was about to weave
What would of been an ironic cocoon
Within a silken purse
A heavy bumble bee
Came crashing through the cobweb
Blown off...
As a caterpillar
dropped from the beak
Of a hungry Sparrow
This time though
As a full grown butterfly
She'd been breeze blown
Into a somewhat sticky, and dewy
Spiders web
And when she saw the spider
With it's seven legs
Moving across the web towards her
She knew that this was it
Just hoping it would be quick
And just as the spider
Was about to weave
What would of been an ironic cocoon
Within a silken purse
A heavy bumble bee
Came crashing through the cobweb
Blown off...

New Orleans dreams, and you
Drunk on jazz and daiquiris
on a street corner that
smells of piss and vomit
sweat drips between
my breasts as the
psychics call
to read my fortune
and I can feel
voodoo like a
love-spell spider
trigger my
sympathetic
nervous
system
into fight or…
Shhhhhhhhh
Everything
s l o w s
down
icy wind skitters
across my sun-burned shoulders
and my pupils go
opium black,
nostrils flare as
the smell
(of you)
drifts by ...

Goblin Queen
- Goblin Queen -
A Tribute to the Movie Labyrinth
Ah sweetest madness that is mine!
The king of the dark realm of Faerie,
King of goblins and creatures dark…
From beyond the counting of time:
In androgynous glory, he came to me.
Did he hear me reading in the park?
The book of the Labyrinth, secret old,
Holding insanity mortals never know:
Until it is too late to reconsider again!
Have I sold my soul, or my brother’s?
The clock ticks, and he will change…
By the magic of the mad goblin king,
That god who knows my every...

Papa Bird, the Old Wizard
One night a country bumpkin told his friends an incredible story about an old wizard named Papa Bird. He resided alone in the mountainous area of Westmoreland. The people of the district said that he was an obeah man, but he regarded himself as a scientist. Papa Bird was no ordinary wizard; his magic was real. Moreover, he had strong supernatural powers.
All the witches and wizards in the district feared him because they were charlatans. Papa bird’s house was on top of a hill, and every day he would sit on the verandah and look down in the valley. When people wanted to visit...

The Magnificent
Walternate Universe – MAGS-94
The portal opened in the mezzanine of an empty old style theater
From there I could hear someone working over by the stage floor
As I walked down the isle between the seats I could see my brace blinking
My parallel self here was the likes of something I’d never seen before
“Hold it right there!” I heard his voice echoing across the ceiling
I had a feeling this alternate of mine was going to blow my mind
He was floating in mid-air about twenty feet over my head revealing
No wires, no harness, no...

[ NaPoWriMo - 2023 Collection ] Cosmologically Speaking
In The Beginning
There was a Universal Shroud of Turin
a Matrix of crumbed vertebrate
stained with light and debris:
webbed particles
multicellular life
a mycelium
of unsolved mystery
plaguing humankind with a gravity
they were determined to defy
13.8 billion years of expansion
trillions of galaxies and stars
beyond their comprehension
ungrounded contentment
and magnified desire
Bridges of technological design
are manufactured—
fueled by resources
meant to sustain Life ...

My Mirror.
My Mirror faithfully reflects
then, having pondered shows aspects
of self unseen in other's eyes
ah, but then, my glass never lies.
ii
I gaze into that scene within
with me without and looking in
wondering what might come to pass
it two were there seen, lad and lass.
iii
I angle for another look
and find not self but Eastern Suq
no painting this, but moving frame
of Eastern Delight, of worldly fame.
iv
At first in two...

An Echo
Alas by midnight moonlight I sit contemplating my duel reality.
Inherently, I see conflict existing between morality and animality which is why capitalism and humanity can not seem to agree.
A silence sets in, filling the room's emptiness with an eerie sense of self belonging.
Longing for the truth in the matter I listen within only to hear what I thought was a monster speaking back.
It saw things in black and white while I tried to promote a fleeting argument for the shades of grey.
Okay, I saw myself in error with the ever present echo piercing the silence in the...

Let The Chips Fall Where They May
COPACABANA APARTMENTS
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Levi stormed across the bedroom. He lifted Naynina from off Vacome.
Naynina fell over. Her presence met the carpet.
“You come into my girl’s house and fuck her in our bed!”
Levi snatched the lamp from off the nightstand.
“No, Levi!”
Vacome snapped his fingers.
Levi froze.
Naynina looked up.
Levi had the lamp over his head in mid-stride.
Vacome rolled over and got off the bed.
"Let's go."

Daughter of Shadows (part 2)
Gather round little ones
and let me tell you a story
as the evil sun shone down
robbing us of sight
Oh, how this evil did burn
trapped in the maelstrom's glare
dear little ones I know your hurt
let me take you pain away
Our story begins as you hid in fear
with no place left to turn
and no one to look after you
And you cried for holy intervention
praying to the shadows, hoping
a wearer of the dark crown would return
bringing songs of the night
singing...

Daughter of Shadows (part 1)
She wore a sundress and a smile that hid her tired eyes, weary of seeing past people's lies. She was quiet and demure and always ready to listen, greeting everyone with gentle words but her heart would break upon hearing of their troubles.
She lived alone on the outskirts of town, a simple cottage painted white, a picket fence and roses, a small garden in the back with laundry hanging in the sun and a cat named Vespers pretending to be lazy. She sang as she worked, around the house or at the library, people sometimes sang along, her happiness was infectiously and added joy...

The haunting bittersweetness of coconut cream pie
It's been a long while
Years are mere moments
some days shine bright
of your warm memory
it's only in dark shadows
where the sting still stings
Finding my own smile
in tattered old photos
or sounds of our similar nature
tears can't help but brim
quivering
at our alikeness
unmistakably similar
so uncanny
I can't help but chuckle
yeah, that too... is familiar
Laughing through tears
grief finds it's own way
through, over
and around
