Faces of the City

Blankly walking the shadowed streets
Where this world and that too often meet,
A feeling of Truth’s impassioned rage
Suddenly jolts and jars the bars
Surrounding the serenely caged.

Cracked pavement lines the faces
Groping for any reality
Which produces ways to end
These sleepless nights and wakeful days.

Birthing III

We have returned to the crossroads
Only to find all signs point Home

Again the choice is ours to make
Of hoping the Child is stillborn
Further delaying our journey
As we spin faster and faster
On the merry-go-round of life

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day IV

                       IV
The Storm’s unseen terror has finally abated,
Yet chill winds still blow around the planet.
Except prayers to a savior arriving in the clouds
Or a welcome to beings from distant galaxies,
Jingoism’s omnipresent message
Offers little, if any, forum for earthly appeal,
Condemning unbelievers in peace through strength,
And peacekeeper weapons of mass destruction
To peeking at the future from assigned ratholes.

May I Say We

There is but little to say—
     The cup from which I drink
     And is me
  	Is emptying. . .
     The last drops evaporate
     While the remaining residue
     Awaits cleansing.

“Help is coming”
```
Help is coming—
It is in your mind
If you stop your games
And find the time.

And if you look
You still can see
Your non-existence
Must cease to be.

Candlelight (For Aldous Huxley)

Its flame is a unifying force,
Illuminating the once dark,
Giving dimension to technopomorphic entities,
Bringing light and undulating shadows
To once bleak walls.

It opens your eyes for you see,
It is your heart and soul,
For you feel and love
In your mind’s trance.
All known senses are keen
And the unknown seem within grasp.

“The spigot will open gushing”
```
The spigot will open gushing
When the handle
In your mind
Is found.
