Lath
8-20-14


Of latticework and of lath
Of our backing for our plasters
And another fresh hot bath
For this support of our roofing
To but do the math
As Philistines are spread in the valley of Rephaim
To but go up and fetch a compass
And to be pardoned of all such wrath
By these cascade sessions that I yet revive
O, go up for I shall deliver them into your hand
O, I step on out of the water refreshed....








Trellis
8-20-14


Smiting Philistines from Geba unto Gazor
To gather together our chosen men
To but gabble about as sleep delays my life
Yet I will conquer this fear and its doubt
In my quick succession
I am far from being just and devout
Come the chime of noon
I choose another direct route
Yet to bring the ark up to Judah
And to but justify even Allah and Buddha
According to our trelliswork
I get my fix on my smoke and my perk
To support these growing vines
And to require not such wonders or signs...








Our Uzzah
8-20-14


The Lord's anger so is kindled
Against our modern day Uzzah
I've seen the signs and the eyes smote there
For his error in these lies by plain pilaster
Of calamity and disaster
A baby cries because he cannot enunciate what he means to say
Of helloes and goodbyes
As David plays again on instruments of fir wood
Upon psalteries and harps
And the inquiry of whys
Projected from a far wall
To but form it column
As this love never dies...










Penobscot
8-20-14


O, I see the beauty of the light of music
It's all rock and roll to me
As poetry by my pillar of voices
Talking somewhere in the house about me and you
Drifting down the Penobscot
Where I can say that I love you a lot
And David dances before the Lord
But not according to what is naught
Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing
Going yet six more paces towards my boundary between us
Girded in a linen ephod
O, I see the beauty of the light of music...








Involvement (Risk)
8-20-14


Into the house of Obed-Edom
His household is but blessed
David is afraid of God in such a day
With syllables yet to be stressed
In all enunciation
By the second chapter of the book of Acts
Concerning involvement
To but think upon such so such scares us away
In the light of a word such as left
The system is broken
According to what it might cost you
I know these barricades
By which our involvement requires a risk....








"...I Can't Say I Don't Need You..."
8-20-14


I recognize the weapons
According to these similitudes
Beating spears into pruninghooks
Ye are the salt of the earth
I take on what I don't want to hear
About concerning isolation
Being as many members but one body
I cannot say I have not need of you
O, let love be without dissimulation
In that I cannot deny it
To cleave to that which is good
This is my mistake
By mahogany and cedar wood
I raise the wall
Wherein I find my consolation
As a family that has been fragmented
We are all of one bread....
