Woke up with the sun
poking me, then hiding a
while. She's immature.

The sky has gone dark
Rain thrums upon the windows
A world in mourning

August is boring
There are no good holidays
And it's way too hot

Stuck in the rain - a
reset button. Beacon of
hardship, comedy.

Patiently listen
Sunrise, nightfall, music, ears

Cool breeze from the lake;
Surprisingly temperate
As I sip my tea

Limbs wrung dry. Hanging
with your chin on the ledge. Let
go. Cold tile. Wet floor.

Golden light of dawn
Awaiting new beginnings
Hope, my dream for you

Girl at the train station

Buy your ticket on
the other side of the tracks.
No train splits us yet.

Birds in stereo;
Free of construction noises
That plagued yesterday

A day to relax;
To center my mind once more
Upon peace and joy

Noah, Cush, Nimrod
Hindu mythos remembers
by way of Vishnu

Egypt, Osiris
the lamentations thereof
sealed up from the flood

Greece's own Saturn
was patriarchal Noah
Mingled beside Baal

Roman Jupiter
Cut from the same legend-cloth
Entwined with Bacchus

The gods of the gaps
Classical antiquity
Polytheism

It's no small wonder
In universalism
lie kernels of truth

how polytheists
Their ideals from Babylon
hand traces with ease

The Chaldean thought
in worshipping dead Nimrod
secret, Mystery

From Semiramis
Fortuna, 'holy' mother
holding Jupiter

Horus and Isis
Chaldean cup and Ivy
the symbols of Cush

The branch of fell Cush
steeped in idolatry, bore
Mother-son worship

Perverted mem'ries
Of Ninus; treacherous line
the immoral king

Tried before Egypt
he was torn into pieces
sent as a message

All nations recall
the tower building goddess
her crown, a castle

Her husbands demise
frightened idolatrous minds
so they hid themselves

Mystery was born
the secret ceremonies
Sham-necromancy

Illusions? Child's play
For a priest in the shadows
to imitate life

Semiramis' rule
power seized in the vacuum
left by her husband

She deified him
and they worshipped in secret
seizing willing minds

She too died, of course
and was also deified
as like begets like

This paganism
flourishing through secrecy
infests us today

This mother Mary
she is like unto Isis
likewise is worshipped

the rites of the church
of the whore of Babylon
in Revelation

They are Baal worship
Christmas, Easter, so-called lent
Pagan barring name

the fires for 'John'
are the same burned for Moloch
Children through the flames

Ahaz sent his son
through this pagan blaze screaming
young Hezekiah

If we'd only read
and pay heed to history
we'd see the evil

From Babylon comes
all manner of corruption
these pagan customs

Inspired by Histlop's analyses.

Repeat this mantra:
Mind awake, body asleep...
See inside the dream

A haiku a day...
I've been up since yesterday

It's all fun and games
Till someone loses an eye!
Why can't you see that?

Stolen vision of
tomorrow. Don't feed the bears.
They'll come back for more.

Man pulls cloth over
dead bodies. Plastic rests on
highway median.

The Flood

We made these rivers
for cars. Houses on dry land
drown in our mistakes.

September

A slow crescendo
of acorns, and leaves tickled
with red and orange.

Packing

My existence in
boxes: square, contained. Signs of
internal struggle.

Arrival

I am in a box,
but there's a view, and ladders
for climbing higher.

What to leave behind
Memories, like fading dreams
Or a legacy

I don't wish the rain
would go away. It just needs
to go somewhere else.

I've found a theme for Haiku
And though all of a sudden:
"Why don't I make one?"


"Please don't tap on the glass. Penguins can see and hear you alright. They just don't care."

Welcome back to the
grind, diving through revolving
doors like teeth through gears.

Part of the machine,
We go about our daily

I'm here. I wiggle
my toes, palms face up. Yoga,
except I'm asleep.

Are any of us really
Here at all? Perhaps...

...anybody there?

Forces crushing you...
Hope dangling precarious
For you to hang on

Hold tight to the good
Depression, that coward thief
Devil seeks to steal
