Dust inspired by
Promethean promise;
Sophia winks behind a veil.
Despite Fortuna’s bold fascinations,
Prudence flees a tyrant’s rage.

snafu
Grey matter and guts
and a bundle of urges,
mortality,
madness,
no wonder
the world.
Upright

From seed to stalk
From crawl to walk
From health unto disease
In peace or strife
We choose a life
On our feet or on our knees.
Looking Back
Looking back
We see simplicity
Regular lines of fixed length
The voice of our fathers
Incapable of modern expression
Trite
Ineffective
A phase best forgotten
The fodder of fools.
Yet I recall my father as a strong man
He wore a smile and had a booming voice
When he spoke the world itself would tremble
In fear or delight, it was always his choice.

Our place
is a small small place
unshared by lovers, friends
We cross the bounds
as we make our rounds
on our way to our own ends.
Next Time
Next time perhaps or never,
surely any time but now
to say the things we need to,
but never quite know how.
Hard Time
I had a hard time
till I took time
and made time
my own
sails set
and rudder firm
I set a course for home.
Annoyed

Stillness eludes me
midges and gnats
inflated annoyances
day dragging
defying reason
consuming years
Another Drink
Control’s an illusion
by spirits dispelled,
the stronger the better
the tighter it’s held.
Mainstream

Malaise in search of definition
finds a peg to hang its hat
in the settled slogans of toothless rebellion.
