Power<br />

What cross between humble & thrust<br />

will blow out the great green sparkles,<br />

will bring a prosperity’s shimmer near &<br />

worth swinging & suffering <strong>for</strong>? Faces tangle<br />

between wish & want, hunger swarms by<br />

noon, the night eats every weak impulse blood & bone.<br />

******<br />

Shadows<br />

When blood knows not blood, when fists<br />

gird squalling streams & manless acres,<br />

when the common high is crushing another’s<br />

path with scythe of coins, run, stumble, &<br />

run again. Nightmares plenty await <strong>for</strong> every<br />

laughing vengeance, mirthful stories of ruin by tavern’s blur.<br />
