U Prove

I forgive the enemy
that is Christ

I do not forget the enemy
that is dementia

I assist the enemy to not trespass
me more than once

Race

She says to husband,
"Forget all the white people
living in the neighborhood."

Like a shot in the woods, husband reports,
"White people in the neighborhood?"
"I didn't notice.  I thought they were gray."

Good Friday

Om the hill, "Skull", where hammer meets nail,
and nail splits joints from tendons,
splintering with blood the wood beneath,
can one simply pick up and fly away?

I think it possible
but the bird is badly mangled
The flight from fight is death.

Romp

It's kaddish gaity
melancholic provocative
like a fairy boy romping in the park
not a care in the world,
only a vague dread of aging.

Tints

My abode wears shades
I don't

Party Tune

The party ends when the music stops
Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt

North Korea is threatening again.

H to P

Heaven to Head
Head to Feet
Feet to Plant
I believe in His Name
I draw His Power
