70x7 Years Onward
6-27-19

He told me dog earring pages was a no-no
On a day for action to kill instead
All time on my hands building bronze altars for us
And then behind ones veil as to wander
Breaking the light in colors in boards and sockets
And Habakkuk comentaries all in post-exilic ears of pride and purpose
Implying of Antiochus
The right time of year fixing up something symbolic
Double the height of the mercy soft
Back to better days as hangings suggest another ten years at it
For all furnishings
Twenty cubits and thirty feet....






Of My Own (War Scrolls)
6-27-19

Call it quality over quantity
Call it equivocal and energetic
In the history of our community longhand and illegible
Condoning the spouter of lies for love's sweet plan
Yea, fear is gone at least for today for golden lampstands
In one whom understands artistically woven in a place of strength
Our shoulders and the height and length of boulders in Jewish religion
And hopes for independence in Alcimus in office
Talk awhile and share a smoke by Kittim of the war scroll and strange gatherings of tribes
And Damascus poniard out to sea blessing spray....






Atrium
6-27-19

Ventricles and valves
Atrium and aorta
All in the human heart
For instruments of peace
I take up the pen and don't cease
Chief of kings of Greece for onyx stones
And golden geese in our most holy place
All grace welcome back to Chinncotteague for vacancies
And people of the dawn
Tibetans rise early
Don't mess up a good thing
Later on falling back into battle
More as scoffers arise
Not always wise as coinciding
Call them not apostates for moogs of moods
And armies of vespasion back in our neighborhood.....






On Exodus 28:4
6-27-19

Feeling rich and fluent in words to express my gratitude
My attitude for cold drinking water for altars of incense
In the present tense it makes more sense for our inherited dysfunction
And olive oil for the lamps
I cannot be everywhere at once as to typify us
And have another cigarette for our pillars and page fillers
Just one answer upholding the linen hangings
I wonder how did I get up there as Josephus testifies minding Moshelim
Qualifying for our epithet of analogies of Alexandria to watch my silver fly
Catch me if you can in tunic and sash....
