• Glued to the deluding mirror

  I suppose we all cast the Hercules role for ourselves In our proposed most audacious, rose-lit fantasies of the past First to last and last to first, life’s process: the removal of blessings Tides changing and fits and starts and droughts and bursts Hurts and blurted loves, haloed doves and rages like rockets Comets hurtling,…

• Black as loathing beholder

  Seven years with Calypso in Ogygia for lost Odysseus, longing Ithaca Screen for eclipse that weaved dream Midnight Font delighting all believers All creeds heeded Fed by heathen light Shed by freezing stars, clothed in illusory flames Distances of ages betwixt. Seven planets willed into the crypt of the void Rilled moon life-devoid, former ocean…
