Neigh say being corralled and cult shod
Neigh say being  corralled & cult shod

Wood Burning Stove Weather
While outside nor'easter
howls like banshees
vents temperature dips
into low double digits
fire breathing friendly

cockles and muscles

atavistic visitations hover
brushes within subconscious
purring, mew zing catacombs
kickstarting, harkening,
dawning... Homo sapiens

I am done holding on
to a faltering hope

Held by a weathered leather belt
For his trip to the...

O Crane
Heads veiled in immaculate white,
Like cloistered nuns tanning in sun light;
As the farmer starts plowing, 
Flock around, twenty of you kowtowing;
Searching with your sharp eyes,
Finding and pecking little warms and flies...

Do I seek true love or absolute truth?
An escape from 
the confines...

Or wish myself as old knights in diamonds
Hued to bamboozle familiar souls and eye, 
Flattered by aping pals and ersatz blondes. 

For swanky gait soon in quiet...
