Pre-positioned

The body, such a delicate anchor for the soul…
That form which Nature delights to frame at the urging of the Almighty:

Ensinew’d with power so complete
Sufficient to bear the crown elite

So soft, such lithe design made ready
by craftsman’s hands both worn and steady…

but marred by lines of tragedy
and ruled by fatal energy

Early Tonight

Cursive S drifts in & out of sight
Eyes see what only eyes might
Cars drive by, intent but ignorant
while lonely dogs alight,
early to bed, early tonight

Another bird out of his mind
Another fool out on the wind
Catching his death for the song of a friend

Empires dashed to ignorance,
against the rocks,
against the many ruts of chariots
Rivers cut the land in plots, and
curv-ed swathes of color, light
Like water, man and woman might,
early to bed, early tonight
