Amazonas

A red dragonfly
a pink dolphin
an exquisite yellow fruit
and green and blue above.
The Amazon
is dark and brooding
stained with ancient stories
of a stern and sultry
mistress.

Signatures


Falling in to our mother's tears
filleting our hearts
finding a passage through fear and
failing but signing
signatures on souls and solemn
symbols and falling
falling
falling.

Hang on.

Sacrificial soothing
soma again
so much 
so when
we hear that siren
we will know
our mirrors
and until we have faces
we will have tears.

Last Loyalty Lost

I followed familiar footpaths
to find her this last time
this once more
this only
this
last
loss
last loyalty
last casualty
last cost
last call
of the grail
of the ark
of the Gospel
of the heart
of the greatest of my signs
and the bruising of my shins
of the fern beds in the pines
the sadist and the sins
of the thirst for this elixir
and seduction on the wind
of the shapes that still define her
all familiar, take me in
take me in
take me in
take me
one
last
time.

After three days

Dome of the Rotunda of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem.  KG Tidball.

After three days
the world was fixed 
in an orbit
from which it cannot
escape.

Abandoned



strange assemblage
wheels, backseats and radios
lost utility
