Enveloped

Enveloped completely, resting within,

There is nowhere a sight. There is nowhere a sound.

There is only a light, within, and around.


Freedom from a darkness cold and well-known.

I'm freed by the love someone has shown.

I now know the strength.

I now know the power.

Finally, at length, I live in the tower.


In no ivory tower do I reside,

Upon no tower of Babel does happiness ride.

I live in a tower that touches the skies

But rests on the earth for all human eyes.



Date: probably senior high school.

Staggering

Staggering, a yoke on his back. Waiting, waiting for death, then life. Thorns, blood, smeared vision. Anguish, of a thousand pounds, people Watching, jeering, jabbing. He       falls. A friend, the yoke lifted, momentarily. Clothes tattered, knees bleeding. Needed strength, fopr one more step. Humiliated, to a mere man, since birth. Thirty-two years, gone? No. Ages and peoples, fulfilled. Clothes gone, a skeleton left, The nail,     the scream piercing your ears     cold metal between bone and skin.     Twice more,     The scream across the land, twice more.     A mother looks at her Son.     The earth trembles, centuries are freed. Date:  probably junior in high school

(Sum) Sand

  One inane grain.  Insane. It does not give life. A particle of silica. Contra ipsum invicta. Empty weak and worthless. Deftly meek and mirthless. So dispensable indefensible. Incongruously inconsequential. Untermensch and moral stench Sleeping on a parkside bench. Goo-goo-ga-joob. A house built on sand Gets buried in shit-made land. 7/25/09
