  • The Mums

    as the mums (do)

    in tedious pantomime

    slow breathing in dull stupor

    As grey Chrysanthemums (do)

    in delicate repose

    in diocesian convocation

    seeking forgiveness

    And Salvation

    as the mums (do)

  • Soft Solace

    I have fallen asleep under my threadbare blanket
    My dream begins in an austere land

    Faraway, brass horns blow with the many winds
    as the gold sun races by

    And in the distance, slowly approaching,
    the timpani drums beat louder with every breath

    The clouds roll and roil in conflicting emotion

    I find my feet have left the ground
    I fly into the solace of being unremembered.
