The poet used to have to be sad because tragedy was harder to write in those days the days of dusty old history books. Life, at that point, was just as hard but still whimsical to look upon something with despair took talent because even amidst sickness, death, and plague there was an air of [...]

Reflections on a Silverback Guerrilla

He says humanity but means apes lucky enough to understand their misery. Resolve to evolve Find the courage to leave the cave and become the servant to your liberty. Why did you ever leave? Our neediness checked our ambition but now we have more than we need. A revolution against evolution. Power inherited through our tradition [...]

Snow is pure but it is cold and it falls. Its not like us, its new and its old, Its not like us at all. It doesn’t mind being in a whole it gives it power to stop being a flake and assume control with an avalanche. No single one can take credit for the squall so they are innocent. Snow [...]

No one wants to listen anymore the ear is the symbol of servitude. Speech is freedom, The mouth is the pinnacle of power. Silence is humility, a rejection of information but still listening is irrelevant for he who wishes to eat the fresh fruit of knowledge will not be sated by the weeds of opinion. In [...]
That Without Which the Cause Could Not Be the Cause

When 2 words kiss They lose themselves So we can imagine this Third thing Rising like a phoenix Or a sapling Only to be dethroned By a third word and a new thing This is our grace To make silence speak Echoing over the surface To create something that Isn’t there In union they destroy [...]

Sky, a soft and gentle knight With flaming sword and lunar shield whose unfurled banner hides from sight the heavens and it’s gold. Man has pawned his dreams for steel. Emissaries in bishop hats with fire so bright it seems to be from the myths of old. Earth, our verdent queen has dawned a Virgin [...]

A man with nothing to wear but belief Crawls, his belly toward hell, over A street with cobblestone teeth. Roadside vendors sell their vices and prayers with stoney answers. Above them the giant clock tower eye’s hands are tied with tears From the ashen faced sky. Two lovers are the masons of a desire Killing [...]

Last night I kissed his mistress Once, on the lips, in silence. I thought I might’ved missed his distress as he’d feel her hips, in violence. She took me for a spin To feel warmth, to forget The look of him or from within When his hand was around our necks. She wasn’t there for [...]
Einstein’s Light

Her metronome eyes are always moving keeping time tightly wrapped like the clothes she wears, stretching the fabric of seconds into minutes, into hours, into days. Her shadow sees each day Waste away the echoes that compose them like dry sand in the wind Washing back and forth over her, over her, over her. The sour [...]
The Winter Wedding

The earth was dressed in snow To honor the pure unity Of the blessed virgin. The tolling bell called the fall to slow So the air could arrest the lunacy of the solemn surgeons; Images forged in defiance of the cold and tested by madness with no immunity or conversion. A tear falls, becoming a [...]
