    My drive demands
    that I write great and mighty
    and weighty things
    full of mythos and reference
    and high symbolism
    but my reality
    says sometimes
    I must write simple
  • Glamour

    Come, see our Church
    See the golden trim around
    the feet of our pauper god.
    See the velvet and fur woven
    in the vestments of our clergy.
    Hear the peel of the bell
    summoning the faithful
    to our opulence.
    Inhale the incense, an aroma
    fit for a king.
    Is it …
  • DST 2

    the sky is dark
    and the world quiet
    surely its too late
    to shop or be out
    except
    except it's after time change
    and not only is it not late
    it's downright early evening
  • Tempus Fugit

    tempus fugit
    so simple yet profound
    time flies
    but of course it does
    it's that second half though
    that does the heavy lifting

    tempus fugit
    so do today what you may
    to secure your legacy
    remember
    not only tempus fugit
    but also
    memento mori
  • None of them?

    I have three tape measures
    eight phillips-head drivers
    two hammers
    three boxes of screws
    and two full ratchet sets
    and yet
    I can never find what I need
  • A Wall Works

    'a wall works'
    at keeping the foreign
    out
    they say it is
    a medieval mindset
    walls and ditches
    pikes and shots
    yet it ignores
    faith and community
    common goods
    and fair treatment
    in your land
    of visitors
  • Dreams

    to give up
    on a dream
    that i still know
    i could achieve
    simply because
    i've proven
    i won't achieve
