Eternity Crashes

Eternity crashes ,then dissolves
as if a wave en route from past
to future ,then recollects to crash
again ; it is this moment that drowns
and then dissolves, eternally seeking
the way back into rocks that birthed
the oceanic clamour . Mortality resides
in the eternities, vitality crashes
circumglobal barrens and headlands.

I Hear Rats

Something in us that does not love a rat;
they neither love nor hate us but our bread
is tempting left uncovered; thus, with dread
the rat is working to succeed and I to sign
the chill in our close association; to define
the origins of plague, I note a more than
passing reference to the millions damned
in charnel houses, laced with warfarin -
Bring out your dead, in juniper and gin.

Sorcery y2k10

Basic training in resistance to sorcery
is acknowledged necessary in our time:
the steps are few but once learned
will preserve power for the innocent
and pure of heart...
Never believe the sorcerer superior
nor agree to give your power
willingly, as that is the only way
it can be taken. The evil sorcerer
or sorceress is one who does not
love your best interests ; who has a
sense for recognizing fear and lack
of confidence-most do not
even know what they are: so learn to
recognize and neutralize them.

Plague and Pestilence

March the distance between
bad doctoring to bloody
pillowtop or fake your own
death; hang out underground,
great for the skin-unrequited
vanity floats away, lost...
like the wild life used to live
on flooded land...
