They lowered the babe into my lap;
Careful with her ties and snaps,
Her naked legs, startled, churning;
My eyes welled up, my throat was burnng.
...
I gave to her a marigold
Plucked from the sea cliff bank;
Her eyes grew wild and chilly cold
At I so bold and frank;
...
Said Thoreau's nagging,
Screaming wife,
'What makes you think
Your boring life
...
Silvered Time
A spinning ball;
Twin beacons light my spiriling fall;
A static lens within the caul;
...
How can I dull this mother’s Ache
Fist pressed against her heart
Clenched as if her Heart would break;
Frail wisdom to impart
...
Could I step through
The mists of time
And call your name
While in your prime;
...
Dying men
Bell the season,
But give no pause
To Nature's treason;
...
Open the door, old gateman,
Open your garden to me;
Your wrought iron black spear points,
Deny me shared ecstasy.
...
A Bard limp stands
Before the sea,
Resplendent in its majesty,
And envies it, this endless ocean,
...
