• Strange magic abroad

  First degree murder on the curb Third third degree conferred on the third When ferrous Mars observed the Earth So closely that of hues dearth was observed, save the red there imbued Even the Moon which whispers of a winter morning And haunts the weakling light of days like a cloudcolour warning Was missed Had…

• Don’t struggle

  Galling day, I was taken In this abrasive place shedding finer shape, scraped to bare graven Here shaking frail, faint growing, amazed how utterly spent I feel With only 33 turns of the wheel hardening my feet Better to tease the weakness all must fail to flee Once-vivid recall of appallingly spent days Lost now…
