The Poet Put To Rest

Death
Not to be denied
In bed
you turned aside
Senses satisfied
Died

The Poet II

Depth
Not to be denied
In bed
The poet
Turned aside
Senses unsatisfied
Dived

There's No Justice

Avoidance of hazard
And wisdom of mind
Can only delay implication
Of everything being just.

The Poet

Thought order
Not to be denied,
In bed
You turn aside,
Senses
Unsatisfied,
Order thought

Qwhatoor maitappen in is sleyp
E willnae waik up ded.

B: VIII: Memorials

Love alters the order of things,
Is honored by whatever it bakes.
Pyramid or sponge,
The alterings of love:
Symbols of its loss.

B: Around the End

Let's pretend it's not
nearly all over,
love like we've loved before.
Love will not then
be all over.
Love will be
like love was before.

B: XVIIII: To Come

Life went on,
Impudent, brash,
Independent.
Then,
When darkness enveloped all,
A script,
The hungry fed,
The shamed unblamed,
Time untamed.

Brave Poet

Best undiscovered wonders
Of earth and sky and void
Hardest ones to ease
Out of comfy nest,
Brave those poets who tease
Best wonders from the rest.
