The scrub is anguished
Settled in austerity
Awaiting the rain

Re: Deviations
C'est la vie. All things are such that they are because of the nature of nature that is arbitrary, without purpose or design, from the inception of all things, at the beginning, when it was all but a speck, infinitely massive, with endless possibility. We, of course, relay the meaning, via categoric...

My Splendid Discovery
When I first saw her standin' there, So grand in there, My heart, long silent, wailed, fresh and new and sudden, wrenching tears from a desperate void of black gloom, to flow like time, viscous, eternal, and comic; I'd stolen a glance at her, Taken a chance with her, her poise, her style, her eyes, ...
Trees
The trees, all mangled and twisted, were ugly in the extreme, and, no doubt, bitter, brutal, and a special kind of mean, The truest, nastiest nightmares, I ever have seen, They bore down on me, though at the time I did not know, They squared me up, wanting for us to fight toe-to-toe, Daring me to pa...

Re: This current trend of hate
Perhaps the environment and our demographic is a catalyst for our mounting unease and vocal dissatisfaction; but, I see, that hidden in plain site, is a volition of influence, with an agenda of subjugation of the human spirit. I consider myself to be fairly rational, and I eschew the role of active ...

This current trend of hate
“America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization,” said Newt Gingrich last Saturday, in a public denunciation of religious freedom, scarring the pride I feel with being an American. His comparing of the building of the proposed mosq...

Eight Years of Blood
There’s hot sweltering night creeping about, giving rise to syncopation and rhyme, Critters, in swarms, who nary a doubt, walk headlong into the oblivion of time, Children of men, faithless and devout, seek answers from within the sublime, Howls from the dark, I hear them shout, “We rebuke your excu...

The Perfidy of Ixtlan
Up in the highlands the winds stir gently, the cool breath of the early morning air soothes the lungs, urging flight or at least movement against the backdrop of a supreme stillness. My path among these starry nights is an evolution of sight and sound, and I see it all; I hear the cries, the soft mo...

Oh; but 'require' can be three. LOL I like a tendency to Faulkneresque vernacular or pronunciation. I remember reading, some years ago, Pet Cemetary, by Stephen King, and recall being, for nearly the entire book, confused by, "ayup." Of course it was a Mainer's "yes." It was 'ah-uhp,' and not 'ay-yu...
