in a world rushing
with little time
too little good...
...
bright hungry flames leap high into dark fever night
vomiting orange red sparks liberated seed demon teeth
chanting chanting disease racial hate Nazi death anthem
books are aspirations hope yearning longing dreams
...
many wild claims were made about him
written in four books called gospels
these were books about his life miracles
other books letters were written about him
...
is shape shifting
into a COVID-19
pandemic election
...
on the podium holding trophy high displayed winners
on the podium medal winners ascending bronze silver gold
on the podium at exaltation height stands ultimate medal gold
privilege has many advantages but heart toil talent make winners
...
incessant rain
all morning falls
skies a bitter grey
...
old timer veteran poet
do you still remember
those typewriter days
clanking clanking out poems
...
by dawn's grey light fading night
still waxen body ghosts waits...
shade when will you need spent
in clay broken rent husk release?
...
what more is there to say
those who cannot live together
must separate live apart
...
as Adam and Eve
were once clothed
in glorious pure light...
