Holy War
passionate generals boom their blasphemies;
aim thy cannons at our godless enemies
burn their homes, set fire to the trees
kill every last living thing
start with all the "human beings"
kill every doe, bird and bee that breathe
breeding in the miasma stream
in their demonic energy
fear not, for
heavy is the hand god feeds
waifers and wine
defenders of the make be...

My First Prayer
I pray every one of their children is gay.
Lord, make it so.
I pray one of their sons
murders them in cold blood,
while the rest of their kids cover it up.
Maybe I've spent too long
not focusing on the problem.
Lord, make me ungay.
I want to be taken seriously,
get off this disability.
publish poetry in Braille,
and give all my earnings to charity.
If I promise to pray for your sake,

Faith - a poem
Faith begins on the edges of understanding
Faith begins on the edges of understanding
Let me please then fall into this abyss of source where Faith is.
A surfacing, peace filled trove glimpsed first amidst a raging wind,
its past buried deep by the residue of age old minds.
One personal confrontation, not new yet rediscovered,
Connected to the gentleness of a longed ...

Treble’s going
“Look to! Treble’s going…she’s gone.”
I’d cry the time-honoured words when I was young,
my voice a boyish chirrup. Everyone
around me on the belfry floor where hung
the bell-ropes were grown-ups, so it was grand
to lead-off when the peal of church bells swung
to clattering action with the six-strong band
following after, letting fly our ropes,
those woolly sallies...

We Don't Trust Them
We don’t trust them.
Those giants who rule the Earth;
those fallen ones who stole our dominion.
We don’t trust them.
Those royal descendants of “gods”;
those of the divine blood line.
Why should we trust them?
They live in castles even today,
while we still cower in caves.
Why should we trust them?
From days of old,
we die in their wars,
we beg to consume what they own.
Why sh...
