The Crux and the Chrysalis
Meaning is excruciating. Reality is crucified.
The pain, "the Scroll of Life of the Lamb Slain," before the world came, is plain in existence.
Existence is suffering. Death is destiny.
Resurrection is written in blood, "in the blood of the eternal covenant".

Solochosis
Like a gelded brumby, I fence-pace and spend long hours staring into the corner of this well-trodden mind.
I am captured and separated from my undomesticated kind.

Soul’stice roots
This wet winter soul’stice, drenched by this incessant dripping; torrential memories of a million moments lost: the company of companions I used to hold, not dear enough; new acquaintances without the notice nor need to want us.

Inexplicable
I am a raft on the dark wading for land
I am adrift in this rift trying to plan
I row in my hope making a way
On a draft that parts where I hold no sway

With A Little Help From Hattie
What would you think if I wrote out of rhyme?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll write you a poem
And I'll try not to verse absent-lee...

Tribulation
Got to go down to turn and go up
My roller coaster no people line up
The remnant will fall about-face and refine
The test of the gold is the fire unkind

Sedimentary
Envy the bodily igneous
Born of red and river rock
I'm no island black or genius
They weighty wear with hardened care
I'm no island black or genius
They weighty wear with hardened care

Alex Graham McNulty
Alex-amber Rock-stone
You stopped me with a start
I saw your name upon a bench
Without your beating heart

What’s her name?
I walk beside my quiet brook
And look and see what shapes she took
Her movements shift each moment’s grace
Each nook and bend, her peace and pace

The Eel-Eagle One
It is not told that in after days
When of olde YHWH God made the heaven
And it is not written that following the beginning
And its seven
When began the rest of which all creatures sang—

Drowning Potsherds
If I pot this precious potoroo
Drenched it is with tears
Will this cursed ground release it
In the Jubilee of Years?

The Marks of Abel
An eastern barred and banned coot
Which hide in grass by day
Standing out in standing hay
Was spotted prey for sport and loot

Only Chloe
Oh, what’s the right gift for a Chloe?
It can’t be the same for a Joey?
It must be unique. It might need mystique.
It may even require something showy.

Estranged
It is written
If your brother is distressed
Bout what you eat or drink
You’re not properly dressed
In the love you often think
Sudden passings
Beloved puppy beyond my reach
My beautiful companion
I laughed so where now is my speech
How did I you abandon

Mud
These footsteps that you left here
In my mud strewn mire
You trudged upon my year
To aid my coastline dire

Jack-built
I'm not racked with guilt by the cracked tilt
My back is not wilted by the black silt
Though this is a house on a shack stilt
