The Steely Minded War of the Fragile
With a kiss the steely minded
War of the Fragile - ends
Leaving both sides victorious.
Woven finger hands
Further proclaim the treaty.
Exhausted are the fallen.
Enthusiastic are the risen
Over the end of their derision.

Right/Write Me Now
Right me thus.
Write me this.
Write, to right a wrong.
Write me a poem.
Wrong the line of a song.
For I am forlorn (and want to be adorned).
Write it down.
Right me now.
Write me now.

There is comfort in the creaking of the stairs
There is comfort in the creaking of the stairs.
Each creak guiding, reminding you of your place
Between the rise and the run
The rhythm within the space.
There is comfort in the creaking of the stairs.

A Cooks Wish
Praise me if you wish
For yesterdays dish
The meal you did not finish
The sauce your spoon would not tarnish
The dinner you did not touch when it was fresh
Saying now this dish smells of Melville's fish
Do not consume the meal when the chef's gone to bed
Pay me no compliments after the dogs are fed
Who wants recognition after they’re trodden;
After they are gallows led?

Love should always be fashioned in pairs
Love must never be an alone accessory
Love should always be fashioned in pairs.
For it will then be dressed in loveliness -
and thus be exquisite and most fashionable.

Be Still Be Wild
Time is not concrete
Unless we meet
Then it runs free as a child
And all that be still
Be wild

Above it all
With my face buried in her hair
And my chest pounding at her breast
I am above the worries of things
Above the money and jewels of kings
Above the common suffering
Above everything
Above it all

Autumn Changes Me
Autumn changes me
I grow stiff as a tree
The falling memories
Are piling all around me
And my color changes
Emptying into grey
I feel broken and cold
As the November rain
Turns into December Snow

Between the rise and the run,
The rhythm within the space.
There is comfort in the creaking of the stairs.

Fall and Foster
I have an ax and a hammer.
With one hand I fall with the other I foster.
To the rise I fell.
With the fall I prosper.
