  • Mummer’s Jig (Poem)

    Glowing skeletons in neon hue

    Jitter and jangle across the sky.

    They fill the air with discordant shrieks

    Underlaid with a cello drone.

    The universe dances with them in mad lurch,

    And autumn leaves rain to the ground.

    They cover the mountains in fantastic garb,

    Swirling in the chill breeze.

    All this a presentiment: Winter fast approaches.

  • Before Dawn (Poem)

    I strike the bowl.

    The moon appears.

    A chant drones.

    The floor trembles.

    Another strike.

    Time fissures.

    There is a brief smell of incense.

    All disappears.
