Flange
12-29-15

Of our flange
Protruding of rim, edge and bangs in my face
That get no such trim
A new hairstyle every day
And every day is Christmas to me
To ever know the freedom that joy brings
And the sun will shine even on the coldest of days
When we reach that acclivity
I have surely seen the affliction of our people
Take one step beyond
Thirty-eight years of wandering
Ought to have only taken eleven days
Beyond....





Half-Tint
12-29-15

Ostent our eidolons
To deck it with silver and gold
Take one step beyond in northern skies
Hear the word the prophet shall speak to you
Ostent our eidolons
Let love reign in our minds all day today
Collecting visions from the other side
As I sit on the edge of a night for the customs of our people
Today we've got more heart
Raise the pen and let it reinvent
Deeper in the land
They fashion it with nails
And hammers that it move not
And Moses trembled and did not look....





Inchoate
12-29-15

Smoking in the rain is not much fun
So I reiterate
But it's nothing more for us to hate
A gathering out of citizens in a public place
For deliberation
For inception, our origin
I need choose to stay in
Incipient our inchoate
I will follow the Light of the Ages
Beyond Savantism
Men, ye are brethren
Why do ye wrong one another
Upright as the palm tree
Bending in the strong winds
But not to break
It was all we knew
And I still love you...
