PLAY IN WORDS
Work short
long face
actless
artless
actress
stops short
song trace

Wonder
A copper beech stands out on meadow green,
the hand of God draws colour to viewed scene:
such artistry, so subtle, so sublime,
one's wonder grows within, spins outside time.

Foreclosure
Fleeting complicity
meeting adversity
depleting prosperity
deleting electricity.
Defeating rime
completing rhyme:
anthropocentricity.

Brahma III - 0204 - Initial Version
I find I'm found the finder and the find,
The fine, the finer and the undefined;
I sign myself the signer and the signed,
Design and the designer, predesigned.

Oasis
OASIS
As an oasis of affection
amidst the wilderness of life
against adversity’s affliction
appears the image of a wife
17 August 1977

Unexpected Elegy
The fading pall is lifting in the East, -
black bird of night’s departing epiderm, -
surprise – the tables turn – who makes a feast
upon the early bird? – The early worm...

Uncontrite Insight - Tight Flight Write 1836
She flees concrete past ghast
for future comfort sought
from monochrome, no choice,
to polychrome rejoice,
emboldened at last fast
seeking kind consort caught.

Spectral Megapole - 1267 - Parody Spectra Witter Bynner
Millipede megapole:
each cubic foot is filled,
with footfalls, landfalls, whole
and parts together milled
until, fulfilled their role,
all pitfalls will be stilled.

Time Drops
Time
Time sifts,
Time sifts through,
Time sifts through space,
Through space
Through spaced drops;
Spaced drops
Drop,
Drop through,
Drop through the memory
Drift into eternity.

In a Pretty Pickle
Sweltering Bagdad: cold sweat dichotomy
between electricity grid lock
and green zone security block,
hot air surge in a pretty pickle.
