Asphaltum
11-25-15

Clever women in the Old Testament
Keeping time with Rebekah
Sun sing blue for the king's insomnia
As one to get to know you
Our shift undertow
Commanding them to go out into the deep
At the chime of ten
I rejoice in hopes for a perfect place
That starts in the here and now floating in air
Feeding on the mountain
Waiting to be born
A suckling of sorts
Shine inside, ambiguous
Our young and brood
O, asphaltum
How beautiful you are
We sit and hatch with this chicken scratch
And I get my pen back in the mood....




Aspersion
10-25-15

Reaching for the gold ring
Deep down inside another wonderful dream
Wherein I sing, O aspersion but not for pride
Another christening today
I go along for the ride
In wounded feelings of remorse
Today a heavy penalty
O, Mars Saba
Who can you be to me
But another island in the Netherlands
For the tourist to clearly see
For stovepipe fumes and hotel rooms
Our flue for me and for you
Where the doctrine is the glue
Top-heavy in equal distribution
Taking away his sackcloth
The multitude of his children
Because of love he is wroth
To make good broth...
