True Evil

True evil
is not a horned beast
True evil
is not in the heart of man
True evil
is not all seeing
True evil,
it's a blind eye
As untended ivy, as fungi in sheetrock
Dirty dishes beside me
Eyelids heavy as eroded levees
Keep your head down, provide for family
You will be granted administrative amnesty
You did the best you could manage
No one expected you to save the planet
Crawling up lattices, siding and chain links
Hiding in attics and underneath kitchen sinks
Hitching rides in bird stomachs
Spreading by ceiling fan
As discreet as mycelium, as radiation, as metastization
It works overtime while you're on vacation
The check-up can wait til next month
Kiss under mistletoe
Ignore the lump

Puppy

From in the woodworks, tapping, seeking sight,
the critter, clutching its jewel, scampers forth into the lamp light,
spying its campsite ahead in un-made mind of the adolescent mastiff,
nestled and nuzzling, puzzling, playful,
splayed at the base of a half-mast flagpole
in the yard of the master's residence
shrouded in black night,
miles from deliverance
Makes himself comfortable, kicking his boots off,
before the fireplace, holding a tumbler,
feeling no rumble, hearing no thunder,
nose-diving towards slumber,
under the eye of the monster
A gentle white fly flutter stirs the faintest breeze
A simple whisker twitch
Distant rustling leaves
A single particle pirouettes, aloft in the draft
Dancing with a speck of house dust, I stifle a laugh
As it twirls and twists, drifting, finally, to hover
just above the uncovered dish of butter
This moment I savor, tuck it away for later
Hush
Behold
From in the knots and tangles of the cornerest angles,
in the dirt of dog's claw,
1000 angels
I fashion a doorway
You wanted it your way
You get what you asked for,
1000 angels

The Divide
02:30
|

I row alone all night
The spangled dome my guide
The waters tranquil, black and fathomless
I've explored this chasm countless times before
And I'll do it more I guess
My only cargo is my oar
No vest
No rest until I reach the shore
My joints are sore but I'll endure
I cross the divide
I flap my wings to stoke the flames
I poke the bear
I stroke the mane
Invoke the profane while I cradle the sacred
I face my foe unarmed and naked
I lay with ladybugs, worms and aphids,
lay an egg to break it
I lick the pavement
I foot no bill, and accept no payment
You want what's mine
I beg you, take it
I'm off with the tide
Aloft in the night
Tossing the fight
Hobbling time
Gobbling light
Pardoning crimes
Fondling slime
Star-crossed and resigned,
and the cost is the mind
I'm lost, and it's fine
Fostering vines to the top of the climb
Hopping a flight
Disrupting the line
I cut all my ties
I suck up my pride
I cross the divide
