MASSACRE DE GRACIA

Evil is Certain not Impotent Yet
Its Bluffs crash down Impertinent Power
Without Precedence each time Again New.
How much Worse it can be, We all Know Well.

Thas Evil Grows Greater Bent Backlash Blues.
It Sates with Nothing but Dignity Rued.
Beauty in its Holy Sanctimony
Massacre of Grace where Grace had its Sources.

I  Know why Nobody Cries Anymore.
Why Shaking it Off is always All One.
FOrgiving Injustice for Forgetting
Evoking Hyperbole of Poems

Crying at Wailing Walls Falling on Knees
What can Sate Grace in Seasons of Bleeding?

ROSE SONG

TOLSTOY'S HAT

TOLSTOY AND A TREE

Tolstoy, brim hat, austere of autograph
platinum, stern, the lengthy cheek shaded,
his eyes underneath eye level shadow
leans on a tree that appears a finger
a vein wraps the trunk, casts off a sparkle,
while the master looks into the camera
wearing his gown and searching of gesture,
and seems to weigh or balances himself
a man and a monument both alive
dark clouds crowd the background like a curtain
as they close in around him he looks through
his image and directly for our view
from one side of himself to our own one
the embrace of his love with our union

MOUNTAIN*LION

I Stroke the Black Keys with White Letters, Tap
The Muscles behind the Eyes of a Cat.
She Was Small and Lean and Leapt across the Tap
Of the Rain as its Crystals Drew Light Cat.


She was a Mountain Lion just zapping Past.
Her Image Cast Head and Profile That
As I think of her Now, Road, Moon, and Last
The Light that she Drew from her Eyes at That.


I knew She had Seen Me and from a Distance.
Had she Something to say to me Then, Spread
Across the double lanes from RIght to Left.
Timed by Vehicles and Center Divide.


I felt as we’d Merged, she was Always on Track.
Her Instinct, her Fur, and Her Asterisk*

OAK TREE TOO YOUNG FOR ACORNS

The OAKS on the Avenue gave 3 Acorns.
They are TOO YOUNG . They each THree had Holes.
The Weevils had already Got Them. Before.
Like the Infant TUrtle had not made it to Shore.
But Instead was Trapped between Hot LEgs
AND Hotter Pavements Of Walls of Consensus.
They Broach their Great Hope- SPORT of the LIVING.
TO OUTLIVE One Accident Remain STRONG.
Like a Turtle to its Shell to its LEGS LENGTHS.
Traveling over Ocean FLOORS come Home.
The Roost in their Origins. They GO THROUGH.
From Time's Smallest Chances to its FUTURE.
An Oak Can Bend but it Won't Falter.
EL ROBLE DOBLA PERO NO QUIEBRA

AFRICA AND ARIZONA: WALCOT AND ENGLISH

The Senator is Handsome, He's Passionate.
He has Everything but an Agent of Love at Command.
Why do the Women watch On Think Lean but CUT?
Why do they ALLOW HIM TO CALL THEM SLUTS!
WE DON"T GO FOR THAT!  NOR FEMISWINE THONGS.
WE ARE WHATEVER WHAT WASN"T READ LONG.
BEFORE it DUG DOWN DEEPER than COPPER.
TO THAT DUAL CORE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD>
ITS WHEELS BEAUTIFY REASON WITH BLISS.
THESE ARE HIS SOURCES: AFRICAN SONG.
TRebled at the Quake of the Dawn Caribbean!
The Boat that the NOBEL GENTLEMAN WALCOT.
CALLED HIS AMERICA AND HIS PATOIS.
AN ENGLISH MORE CLASSIC THAN SHAKESPEARE'S
