SATAN'S BREATH - (ad lib radio play about war)
Three men wait for orders
Tank roll towards them
No artillery support
No retreat called
They wait as the tanks roll forward...

Memento Mori: Memento Vivere
We lay on our
spheres and write
poetry in the
ever changing light
of destiny's shadow.
“remember you must die, so remember to live”

Shadow
I hid behind
the rock;
She said
yes sir
thank you sir
your dark
humor sir;
as the Shadow
drug her off.

To the Voltarens
I gasped;
Micromegas!
I have
found you!
He was a
giant of
gargantuan
stature;
how could I miss?
My God
how we laughed.

Science Musings
Poets muse the smiling sun,
Science scans the mathematics;
Both will chase the light-beam,
Each with potent ecstasy.

it was said
to him
" go to that desolate rock
and call her name out"
you will
find her
and so he did
perhaps his call
wasn't strong enough

One day
I shuffled through my notes,
- a mind's dismay.
the blue ribbons,
the red flowers -
where patriot buds lay,
- waiting to come alive.

the oxygen came,
as the poetry captured
the fire—the flame,
it took a deep breath.

Quaint Randy Sultan
Austrian beer
communal drunkenness
fondled guests keeping
laughs muzzled, nibbling,
openly pleasured
quaint randy sultan
teases, unwraps
virginity's Xanadu,
youth's zest

A Kiss
Repeating from a single sun
They can not see
In the shadows of twin moons
Lovers touch to share a kiss

thing.
People throw things away quickly.
If your hands are physical, your smartphone is also a thing.
It's easy to say things, but things also have a god.
