Elora

Supernova star-child
Illuminating old eyes
With swirls of locks
And a hula-hoop

Desert heart

Salt-sea air floods the desert heart
Scatters death sand and haunted soul
Of a fading ghost-town memory

Slower Than Time

Words move slower than time
Break the bones of the old
Pierce the heart of the young
Twist minds
And cause slips of the tongue

Starfire Sandpiper

this existing,
ephemeral,
imaginary,
and quaint,
Has had its head messed,
and,
mind shook
up,
just in time,
To see the light,
Before dusk, has brought
Cancer to the dream,
That one day,
This animal soul, will leap headlong,
Into the breaks, between soft and density,
between air and might.
But by and by, and in the likeness of god
the vanities, Upon my lips,
speak consonant, vowel,
adjective and verbial,
Disillusioned,
deposed,
waiting on a
Half-had life,
and a heart to break

The Ballad of You Can All Kiss My Ass

May the Lightning

El of a Thousand Victories
Maker of crowns and histories
Heart of the Living Ancient of Days
Bestower of Smiles and Destinies
Bless this child

A Palm Seed

A palm seed perhaps
Waiting for water enough
To dig in and root
