A languid trail of
Whippoorwill nights ripples the
Moon's eerie waters.

CHANTICLEER AND MORPHEUS

The poesy of exogamy
Is not something
The whippoorwill teaches it's young.

---

Great sprawling wild bards
Encompassed in the flamedance
Of a single sphinx.

---

April reared and loosed
The arrow of time unfletched.
Weary herons stirred.

---

The mirror silvered:
An exquisite pantomime.
Swans hiss, ravens bell.

---

Moonbows: entropy
Impels lichens to erode
Granitic hubris.

---

Stillness: words decay.
The complex becomes simple
As an osprey's dance.
